Help with Thunderstorms

[Sylvie]

Hi there, I know that you think this question has been beaten to death, but
my vet just advised me to use Excel Calm-Quil Calming Tabs. Has anyone used them and if so have yu had any luck?

Also, I was just at the pet store and they suggested HomeoPet Anxiety TFLN, has anyone used this one and any luck So confusing wht to use.

I just got some of the HomeoPet TFLN and gave it to Briar and now he is acting like I have poisened him Don't care if it works. It would be better than drugs. Any help would be appreciated

I've tried Clomicalm from the vet , it takes an hour to do something , by that time , thunderstorm is over now I have Rescue Remedy , I found it works faster and better.

I have tried the Rescue Remedy and it doesn't do anything for him.

We'll see what happens with this new one, we never stop trying.

Just sending and hoping something works for you!

What about a CD with thunderstorm sounds? I have never tried this myself but think it could work. My two are really affraid of storms but last year when we had a number of storms they almost seemed to get use to it when they were hearing the thunder more often.

If I did that the dogs would be even more scared.

I was just reading an article in some dog magazine about this, and one of the things they suggested was melatonin.

Thanks everyone for your advice.

O.K. I tried that and they all ran out of the room whining and barking

I used the HomeoPet Anxiety TFLN yesterday and it seemed to take the edge off, which I find better than drugging him. Will keep you posted if it keeps working.
