Creating a Safe Space for Your Dog During Storms

Creating a Safe Space for Your Dog During Storms

During storms, many dogs can become anxious or fearful due to loud noises and changes in atmospheric pressure. Creating a safe space for your dog can help them feel more secure. Choose a quiet and comfortable area in your home where your dog can retreat to. This space should be away from windows and external walls to minimize exposure to loud noises. You can make this area cozy by adding your dog's favorite blanket, toys, and maybe an item of your clothing that carries your scent for comfort. Consider using a crate if your dog feels safe in one, as it can provide a den-like environment. Playing calming music or using a white noise machine can also help drown out the sound of thunder. Additionally, some dogs benefit from pressure vests or wraps that provide a gentle, constant pressure which can have a calming effect. Remember to stay calm yourself as dogs can pick up on your emotions. If your dog's anxiety is severe, consult with a veterinarian for further advice.
