Today's Bonus:
We have one female thunder-fireworks-phobic dog and one male fireworks-phobic dog. Neither are the worst case scenario (the word phobic is probably too strong but dog owners know what I mean) but it's heartbreaking to watch them shake, pace and pant, wander the house looking for a safe place, jump up on the bed for a few minutes and down when we're trying to sleep etc. My 80+ pound female even wraps herself around hubby's head when she jumps up on the bed when he's sleeping!
I've tried at minimum 20 different calming tablets over the past 4 years that had no effect whatsoever. Thundershirts with all their great reviews unfortunately did nothing for them, although both dogs looked pretty darn snazzy wearing them and loved wearing them, too. Our male is absolutely fine with thunderstorms but the fireworks are another story.
A few months ago I tried Vetri-Science Composure which was slightly helpful. Then I found the Pet Naturals with the same ingredients, however, the ingredient amounts are about half of the Composure. You'd think you'd have to give double what the Composure dose is just because of that alone but I found that isn't true. The Pet Naturals works better :) and I'm giving her less "stuff" in her system with better results which I like. I then noticed that the Pet Naturals says Sugar Free on the front of the package and I'm thinking that may be what makes the difference. I don't see this on the Composure package. Dogs don't need nor should they have sugared products anyway. We all know what too much sugar can do to kids, so to me sugar free makes more sense and is better for one's dog.
There is nothing that's going to cure them, but the relief our female gets from the Pet Naturals is significant enough that I will continue to buy it. I will be trying them on my male for the upcoming fireworks season. Here it's not one night but a "season" because of all the idiots shooting fireworks off all over the neighborhood that don't care about what their fun is doing to others. Having two fireworks-phobic dogs takes all the fun out of fireworks for us.
She's an 80+ pound dog and I give her 5 chews for thunderstorms. They must be pretty tasty because they both love them and she'll take them even if I miss the beginning of the storm. Normally, she won't eat *anything* and I do mean that literally. I give my male 1/2 of one chew when I dose my female just so he doesn't think he's missing out on anything, LOL! I will probably do 6 for the upcoming fireworks because she's more affected by fireworks.
I did call both companies and asked how long between doses is safe and both companies told me to check w/our vet which I did just this morning. DO NOT go by my vet's recommendation for your own dog -check with your own vet! Anyway, she said I can go with dosing 6-8 hours apart for one day only. If additional days are necessary (we've had several stormy days lately) only 2x per day after that initial day. According to our vet it's the thiamine that they can OD on. So, these should not be given freely nor like candy. They can OD so use it wisely, and contact your vet before you do any dose increases from the regular dose on the package. They do work better if I can beat the storm and get them into her about 30 min prior to that first thunder-boomer.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the package for medium to large dogs only contains 21 chews and I would prefer more in a package. I looked at the package for "giant" size dogs which comes in 50 chews but there's *way more* thiamine in that than she can safely have. Even 1/2 a chew would be an overdose of thiamine for their weight according to our vet.

My dog loves these and I love that he seems to relax during thunder storms after a couple of these.Buy Pet Naturals Of Vermont Calming Treat For Medium & Large Dogs 21 Count ( Multi-Pack) Now
My dog is afraid of any loud noise (thunder, fireworks, etc) and now associates rain with thunder so as soon as the rain starts he gets nervous he also gets nervous about road trips at times. We now give him these when he starts getting nervous and it definitely relaxes him. He is not completely himself during a storm, etc, but he does not run off and hide under the bed. In fact, over time, he has gotten better and better about thunder now he stays by me and woofs at the noise at times. Much better than being afraid.I have Airedale terriers and, like all terriers, they tend to be pretty active (and a bit hyper). My youngest had surgery recently, and the vet told me to keep him calm and not to let him play or jump. Very funny...the man must not know much about 2-yr old terriers. I happened to see these and, liking Pet Naturals of Vt products, thought I'd give them a try. They really work, and the dogs love them. They don't make the animals druggy, but they do take the crazy down a few notches. I have been recommending them to all my friends and now have them on Subscribe and Save order.My dogs also like the Hip and Joint chews, and I'm thinking about trying the Daily Best. They really seem to like the taste.
