Dr. Heather Ogle of Brown Trail Animal Hospital,
Bedford, Texas. Our Bijoux Pets Vet answers the question "What Can I Do to Help My Dog Overcome His Fear of Fireworks?"
The summer is now upon us which brings warm weather, swimming and vacations. Independence Day marks the middle of summer vacations for many and is commonly celebrated with parades, barbecues, picnics and baseball games. For others, fireworks light the sky. For many of our four-legged companions, these celebrations bring fear, agitation, and sometimes aggression. Although some dogs can pace and pant, others will become more anxious, destructive, or panicked. Whether a dog’s response is inherent or due to a past, highly-traumatic experience, and each event can become more stressful than the last. When fireworks bring their problematic noises, how owners manage the situation can help pets cope.
Many dogs can be treated using medications prescribed by a veterinarian. These medications work best if given thirty minutes to one hour before the stressful situation. If using medications for the first time, try giving a dose prior to the fireworks to see what response it provides. Most medications are mild sedatives used to take the edge off. Some dogs require an increased or lessened dose to reach the desired effect. Before adjusting medication, consult with the prescribing veterinarian. Full Article
