Anyone else's dog terrified of fireworks?

[Jester7]

My dog loses his **** when he hears fireworks. We tried everything and finally our vet prescribed him human Xanax and it does a lot better than doggie sedatives but he's still kinda scared.

Poor guy! Our greyhound doesn't give a crap about fireworks but that's true about most things. He can sleep through anything.

Not too sure if mines scared, but hes been sitting by me all night. Keeps looking at me for reassurance.

Not the ones I have now but I have had a couple in the past that were terrified.

I'm not sure my Chocolate Lab is smart enough to be bothered - he's sleeping right now

Why Aussie (Jake) just looks out the window and growls but my lap dog (Maggie) scared ****less and can't find a place to hide.

Our cat was scared of them and bad storms.

Our dog is very scared of fireworks and thunder. He goes in the bathroom and starts shaking. We give him an herbal supplement that relaxes him and makes him sleepy. Also bought him a thundershirt. Still tough on the little guy though.

For people with dogs that freak out - try a "Thunder Coat" Wrap a towel around their torso. Supposed to soothe them. ???

Thunder Shirt....it does sooth them some but it only does so much. Our rescue used to seriously FTFO in storms on around fireworks, now it's more like she just wants to hide, quake and drool.
