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...

Try a Thunder Jacket. Makes the go feel more secure.
Better than drugging your pet.
I ordered one for Ben - but he's a deep-chested, short-bodied boy and the Thundershirt was too long. To put it as delicately as possible, it was going to rub his "boy parts" (although that distraction may have helped distract him from thunder?....LOL!) I think the shirt would have worked wonders, too, because he feels quite secure hiding under a blanket.
Fortunately, there's only one night (our big fireworks display over the lake) where he needs a little bit of drowsiness. And I'm finding that each year that he's not getting terrorized by fireworks because he's sleeping - he seems to be less fearful of them? It does help that my older dog Jimmy is bulletproof. He'll actually ride out on the boat to go watch the fireworks - they are simply something "interesting and noisy" to him.
