Identify signs like trembling, hiding, and excessive barking as indicators of storm anxiety in pets.
Designate a cozy area where your pet can retreat during storms. Provide familiar bedding and toys for comfort.
Play calming music or use white noise machines to mask thunder sounds and soothe your pet's nerves.
Offer treats, toys, or activities your pet enjoys to create positive associations with stormy weather.
Consider anxiety wraps or vests that provide gentle pressure to help your pet feel more secure.
Gradually expose your pet to recorded storm sounds at low volumes to reduce sensitivity over time.
If anxiety persists, consult a veterinarian for expert advice and potential medications to alleviate storm-related stress.
