Does your pup turn into a trembling, panting mess the moment a storm rolls in or the neighbors start fireworks? 😢 Dogs hear far better than we do, so those booms can feel genuinely terrifying.

A few things that really help 🐶: set up a cozy "safe den" with a blanket that smells like home, close the windows, and put on soft music or the TV to mask the noise. Stay close and talk calmly, but don't scold or force them out of hiding. A chew toy or a lick mat is a great way for them to burn off nervous energy. If the panic is severe, ask your vet about gradual sound desensitization.
