Dog fears thunder!
Our 90-lb seven year-old Golden Retriever who is normally very mellow, will pant and whine and try to escape our TT if he hears thunder or a firecracker. What will calm him down? Tranquilizers? Thunde...

Unfortunately, a few years ago, Paige's anxiety escalated to full-blown panic attacks. We arrived home one day to a completely destroyed dog-room door. Our little 30 lb. girl had destroyed her crate, and then chewed and ripped a 3 foot square hole in the door.:E Our other BC was still calmly napping :)
She is now on fluoxetine (prozac) daily with alprazolam (xanax) added during extreme anxiety, and is doing very well.
