My dog has severe anxiety when it rains or thunders. Can you vets recommend any natural or alternative treatments for anxiety in dogs, aside from medication?

To be 100% honest with you if it is that bad then nothing natural is really gonna do what you want so your dog isn’t having that traumatic response to that stressor.

I give my dog some melatonin and it seems to help her a little.

Playing music because it creates background noise that way the thunder just blends in

Giving the dog a massage with calming essential oils such as lavender and chamomile can help reduce anxiety. It's important for us to provide them with a safe and comfortable space to retreat to during storms can help them feel secure and less anxious.

We have used a gel for our dog in the past. She is pretty anxious about fireworks and thunder. It's called Sileo, described as "the first FDA-approved treatment for dogs that suffer from a serious condition called noise aversion". It might be worth mentioning to your vet. The first time we used it we used the recommended amount and it really zonked her so talk to your vet about the dosage. But we have used less as well and it seemed to calm her down. You put it on their gums.

I will say exercise will not create an overnight fix. It may take a couple of weeks before you notice any sort of change. I say give it a try. Exercise releases endorphins for dogs just as much as it does for people. Good luck.

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature. This is my third cycle and I’ve been pretty positive up until today. It’s especially hard to get this news in the middle of a work day. Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.
