Sophie reacts very badly to fireworks, and I don't mean taking her to actual fireworks displays. This is indoors during formal fireworks displays in NY Harbor about a mile from home (never mind about street fireworks!). She starts barking almost uncontrollably and running all around the kitchen, and it's very difficult to calm her down. We've tried both homeopathic and a prescription sedative for her for thunderstorms, and after using the remedies a few times, they seem to no longer work. We wish that she would be one of those dogs that runs and hides under the bed because it's upsetting to see her so terrified and be unable to do much about it. So we're really dreading the July 4th weekend. It's hard to predict how your little one might react if Cosmo has never heard fireworks before. |
