They set off fireworks practically every other night over here.  The only thing that really gets her nervous is the airplane and really really long car trips. When my family and I traveled to Southern California (a 5 hour car ride) during the early morning, she did fine. But on the way back she wouldn't sit still. I really hope the Benadryl does help to settle her down a bit. I'm going to try increasing the dosage slowly to see what works or her. Thank you again for your help. |
These types of shirts can be used for many types of anxiety. travel, separation, thunderstorms, crate training, barking, excessive excitability, etc...
Thundershirt | Travel Anxiety sometimes one method is not enough. maybe the benadryl alone doesn't work, but pair it with the shirt and you might have success.
another example could be for noise/crate/separation anxiety. Pair the shirt with a calming dog CD to drown out other noises or to make the dog feel like they are not alone.
Its hard to see them so anxious with whatever scares them. I tried many things to help Morgan but nothing worked. So i figured what the heck, i'll give it a try. Plus you have a 45 day guarantee, so if it doesn't help you can return it for a full refund.
