9. I wonder why it won't work for you?

I tried it when I saw your post & it worked for me. Sorry.

A teeny bit of benadryl can also help. Pls check online for dosing & contraindications.

I bought a generic benadryl from kroger yesterday for ~$3. Will likely try it on pupper tonight when rednecks go haywire with fireworks.

Pittie isn't afraid, he gets angry & wants to "protect" adult gs. It's cute, but annoying & stressful for pupper just the same.

Had a sweet Sheltie boy years ago who would cram himself between bathroom fixtures & shake like a leaf. Just heartbreaking.

I hope it works for your furbabies!
