For the fur family not happy w fireworks [View all]

May I recommend calling the vet to get a script for trazodone? Be sure to give a small dose well prior the need to ensure your dog isn't one of the low precent that has a negative reaction to it.

Also, valerian root is a good herbal option to help your pets stay calm.

Having a tv or stereo on to provide an alternate noise source.

A suggestion I just saw was to make a little comfortable fort for the dogs and cats.

I had a dog that I would put a heavy jacket on her, our own "thundershirt." My mom was her favorite person to go to when the thunder or fireworks were overwhelming.
