Rain and occassional lightning and thunder are normal for Loudoun in the spring and fall. Help your pets learn to ignore these events, rather than have them suffering. This article on our website discusses how to immediately calm your pet if he or she is already sensitive to storms, and then consider reading some desensitization training techniques that will prepare the pet for the long term (thunderstorms, fireworks etc.). Pets can learn to sleep through storms, it's just takes patience and a plan.
Some of the immediate helpful hints:
* provide background sound to drown-out the thunder
* provide pets with lots of toys
* consider moving pet to a windowless room
You may need to create a userid on our website to access these, and thousands more pet-health articles. Registering takes just a few minutes, and can reduce the paperwork for your pet's next appointment with us.
