Thunderstorms and fireworks can cause dogs acute anxiety, such as owner seeking behaviour*hiding*lip licking*cowering*panting*destructive behaviour *vocalising *weeing and pooing in the house*restless pacingThis is all distressing behaviour for you and your pet. However, there is a solution to the problem. In the past there are medications that you can give your pet 2 hours before an event, sometimes we don’t have the luxury of knowing an event is going to occur.Now there is a new medication on the block Sileo. It is a paste and can be given as soon as your dog shows the first signs of anxiety. You can even re-dose if the event continues for more than 2 hours. Make an appointment to speak with the vet to discuss this medication for your pet.
