Amazing cure for firework phobic dog
My dog has always been absolutely petrified of fireworks and is so bad that even a small crackling from an open fire in the living room will set her off trembling and hiding which could last for well over an hour. She has always been in a real state for hours at Halloween which is heart breaking.
Tonight she heard one firework go off a number of miles away and she started her frantic shivering and running for cover.
Then I remembered that I bought one of these last year

I put it on her (the first time she had ever worn it) and within 5 minutes she had completely stopped shaking, she had come out of her hiding place and although slightly cautious she was a different girl.
Within 15 minutes she was happy to go outside and stayed outside for half an hour while fireworks went off in the distance all around. She really didn't seem bothered and was happy to take treats from me. Usually she would refuse a sirloin steak if offered when she was in her panic state.
I'm not saying that it will work for every dog but it was an absolute success for my Bella.
I'm absolutely delighted!

It seems to have the effect of giving comfort to the dog and in our case it was instantaneous. I wouldn't want to use it all the time but just in cases where you know your dog will get stressed.
Sandy I agree it does sound too good to be true and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. I do hope it works for you so will you please let us know.

Glad to hear your confirmation that they work chaps. I don't know many people who have bought them BUT those I know who have ALL say they worked.
Many years ago I remember hearing a report on the radio by an unknown (to me) female, who was saying that babies in incubators should be tightly swaddled as during her research she had noticed that they were less distressed and calmer than non-swaddled babies.
Same thing with dogs it seems.

Annemollie - as Lady suggests I would def give it a try.
Sandy - I know it does sound too good to be true, (and I felt a bit daft buying it to be honest), but I really didn't want to put her on medication. It is well worth a go - it made an incredible difference.
Ladybirder and chaptazbru - Bella is a bit of a nervous nelly so I can't wait to try it on her in other situations. It is fantastic!
