Even just wearing a T-shirt helps with that (maybe because I use softner) and they remain calmer. It has worked like a charm for my Jack Russell who was the biggest storm baby of all. Now she sits calmly, maybe not liking it yet, but at least not shaking violently like before. |
Your suggestions sound really good.
Thank goodness we don't have a problem with this. I don't know anything about Dr. Cooper. I thought this site might be helpful to someone, but hopefull, people will check out all information to make sure it is credible.
