The dogs, particularly Minnie, become very agitated when they hear thunder or other prolonged loud explosions. This usually means that you get the joy of a 45 Kg dog on your lap trying to bury its head somewhere around your neck. It's not funny.
With the fireworks weekend coming up and after advice from the vet, I decided to try something to calm them down.
Adaptil, is a dog appeasing pheromone that replicates the 'scent' given off by a lactating mother for her puppies. We chose the adapter method because we could then hit both dogs at the same time. This means plugging a little doofer into a electric plug socket and the pheromones get diffused.
At first it was difficult to see if it had had any effect because our two spend a lot of time sleeping and just generally lounging about. I guess we weren't really going to find out until the fireworks started.
Still, I did note a decrease in aggressive behaviour from Jan, so that was a result.
