New calming product for loud noises??
"Yay, it's the 4th of July weekend" (said in my best sarcastic voice). I'm lucky, Ben is just *scared* of fireworks - not terrified, doesn't destroy the house, etc; just sits on the couch and shivers...

Having been in the veterinary product distribution business for over 40 years I have seen many, many products that have been touted as an end-all for noise phobia.
Consulting your veterinarian is a wise choice to see what is available. Unfortunately many families cannot, or will not, be able to afford the cost associated with vet visits (these are the same people who pay $1.50+ for a soda at a convenience store!!!).
Many people choose to visit their pet store or feed store for answers this time of year when fireworks are the norm in their neighborhoods. One product that has been around for years, and seems to work quite well, is Quiet Moments by NaturVet.
With ANY product I cannot recommend enough to administer the proper dose several hours before the anticipated firework show begins. Waiting until the dog or cat starts "freaking out" before administrating your chosen product will have less than desirable results (like, in many cases, no results).
Dr. Doug, if anything I have passed on here is incorrect please correct me!! Thanks.
