Thanks for the info Yorkiemini. This little guy was a shelter rescue so we don't have background for him, but he not only has storm anxiety but raindrop anxiety. Even a gentle spring shower will send him into the corner cowering and shaking and trembling. Good thing we live in Phoenix where it rarely ever rains. He is a big boy at 15 pounds, and 1/2 mg of Xanax is usually enough to calm him down. I don't know if that is considered a low dose or not, as dogs metabolize it so differently than humans. I know it is addictive, but he doesn't take it often enough to worry about that. It rarely rains two days in a row here except during our summer monsoon season, and otherwise we can go months at a time with no rain at all. I guess Xanax is the best option for him.
