Fireworks season

We live on a lake and the tent-vendors are set up selling fireworks. We pretty much have fireworks until the vendors go away....

I have had good luck giving Ben a product called "Composure" by Vetriscience. I found it at Pet Smart and I think Amazon has it too. It makes him a bit more chilled-out, somewhat sleepy but he doesn't act "drugged". It's a small chewy piece that he happily eats - I think each chew is good for 20 lbs.

Anyway - just passing that along. Don't forget to make sure your dogs are collared and tagged - this is a time when many run away from home out of fear....

  • Our 7 yr old blck lab just started hiding in the closet during fireworks and thunder storms... We tried the Thunder Shirt and it really works... She acts a little fidgety first, then like nothing is happening around her...
  • Worst time of the year for mine.

    Not just the 4th anymore. Fireworks tents stick around through labor day, so it's constant shows nightly. Stupid township government won't pass any restrictions either.

    Very frustrating.
