Dealing with Thunderstorm Phobias
Spring is here and in addition to sunshine and summer fun comes thunderstorms.
For many dogs, thunderstorm phobias are a big problem. Changes in the barometric pressure, the loud crack of thunder, the sounds of wind and hard rain, and flashes of lightening can all cause fearful reactions. Panting, pacing, drooling, quivering, and trying to hide are some of the signs your dog has developed a fear of storms. In some cases, dogs who have no issues with storms develop a fear later in life. There are some things you can do if your dog is thunderstorm phobic.
- Maintain a cool and level head yourself. Use a cheerful voice, don’t act afraid, and don’t baby the dog.
- Even though you may not like your dog drooling on you and shedding large amounts of hair from stress, don’t show any signs of being upset with your dog.
- Reduce the sound of the storm by turning on the television or radio and moving to a room that is quiet.
- Try an activity that can distract your dog such as ball play or another favorite indoor activity.
- For many dogs who are afraid of storms, offering a safe “den like” place is a great solution. Cover the dog’s crate with a sheet, or give your dog access to a room with no windows such as a bathroom.
You can also use a CD of thunderstorm noises to desensitize your dog to storm sounds. Finally, in extreme cases where the dog can actually get hurt, it may be necessary to talk to your veterinarian about the possibility of medication.
- Keep dogs indoors in a well ventillated room - air conditioning is a plus!
- Give your dog a "Puppy Cut" (short hair cut). This especially helps if your dog has long hair. It also helps against ticks and fleas.
- If you keep your dog outside, be sure they have plenty of water. Make sure the water is in the shade. Also, be sure to have a second bowl of water placed outside as a back-up, just in case the first bowl is accidentally knocked over. Place the 2nd bowl at a different location then the first.
- Walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening (about an hour after the sun sets), when it is cooler outside. Besides being cooler, the pavement will not be as hot and will not burn the pads of their feet.
- Heat Exhaustion is very common with dogs in the summer. Signs of heat exhaustsion - rapid breathing, heaving panting, and salivation. Don't be nervous if your dog is panting. This is a way dogs cool themselves down (since they don't have sweat glands). If you see your dog having a heat stroke, bring them to a cool place, place cool wet towels on them, and call your vet.
- Don't leave your dog in your car without leaving the car "ON" with the "AC". Leaving the windows cracked when it's hot outside will not do the trick. Cars heat up quickly in the summer and dogs will overheat.
- Don't bring your dog to the beach. It is too hot for them. They will experience heat exhaustion and dogs do sunburn! So leave them at home with the AC on. They will be much more comfortable.
