Nothing worked for my dog either. I just had to hold her tight to keep her calm. Once when walking in the woods, a local farmer's bird scarer went off. My dog bolted! I found her waiting for me at the gate beside the road near our home.
Not sure what size of dog you have but I have kids padded headphones for my scared dog. They do deaden the sound a bit. You could try a pair of basic ones to see if they are kept on. Scullcap and valerian good if given early enough.
We had had that thunder storm OldMeg that is what prompted me to look into ear muffs! The sky is very dark again so I am hoping that it's not on it's way back. Thanks to everyone for their helpful replies.
The vet prescribed my dog diazepam. Nothing else has helped, we tried using the firework cd but the dog knows the difference between real ones and the cd! I have never heard of dog ear plugs.
My dog is terrified of thunder and fireworks. We are unable to console her and the state that she gets in is pitiful. I know that ear muffs for dogs exist I just wandered if any one had found them successful? And if so where did they get them from? Thank you. (This is a genuine question)
