Griffey was a terrier mix. He did not like fireworks at all. nothing we could do could calm him down, cuddling etc, OTC drugs and home remedies. I don't think the Thundershirt was out back then.
We did try the Thundershirt on Schatzi, our doxie. It was mostly "meh" as in it seemed to help a little bit, but not a lot. His weakness isn't fireworks, but cars. We take more than a few vet visits for his diabetes and he hates the car as he's in the back seat - is not comfortable with the front buckets either. We actually have a truck with a bench seat primarily because of him - his dog bed fits in the Ford where it wouldn't in the Trailblazer :P
What's odd is that because of our trips up to our seasonal campground (where fireworks are not permitted) he really enjoys going on golf cart rides. Must be the open air blowing by him. He does the same thing in the truck, has his nose out the window even at 55 mph.
Fireworks are a pain in the neck to clean up too, we've been lucky not to have too many this year. Also very lucky to have enough rain that the risk of fires isn't too high.
