THREE HANDY TIPS FOR JULY 4TH FIREWORKS

TIP #1- CALMING MUSIC 

TIP #2 YAWN OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH NICE BIG YAWNS IN FRONT OF YOUR DOG. IN THEIR LANGUAGE IT MEANS  ALL IS OK.  

YAWNING IS REASSURING AND COMFORTING TO THEM.

When dogs were very nervous in my exam room I would yawn away! 

One pet owner asked if she was boring me!  

I told her I was talking to her dog :)

TIP #3    THE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY BORAX.  

NOT THE CLEANING PRODUCT.

THIS IS A HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY FOR FEAR OF FIREWORKS AND CAN START A FEW DAYS BEFORE AT 3 OR 4 TIMES A DAY.

BOIRON BORAX 6C.

It's important that you know: 1. The Homeopathic remedy is what you want [NOT THE CLEANING PRODUCT] 2. Boiron is a homeopathic pharmacy 3. Every remedy has thousands of uses and the FDA requires placing 'one use' on the bottle. So it will say for canker sores.  With thousands of uses the last thing they would put on the bottle is 'for dogs who are afraid of thunderstorms' ! 4. Homeopathic remedies need to melt in the mouth and cannot be hidden in food. Put them in the little pouch that is formed between their gums and their lower lip so they melt. 5. No matter what the size of the dog 2-3 pellets are fine.  6. Give these little pellets four times a day for one or two days before and the dog can get the remedy every hour during the fireworks if needed.  7. Most of the time this can be shipped overnight on amazon.com
