Hello, Olivia here. July 1st is Canada’s birthday & July 4th is The United States’ birthday. Humans like to celebrate national birthdays with fireworks. They can be beautiful to behold but we dogs, cats & other creatures really don’t like them. In fact, a lot of us are down right terrified.

Fireworks are very loud & sound like thunder to us. It’s a fact that pounds & shelters get a lot of “strays” right after a local firework display. A terrified dog will run away given the chance. Running away from the noise is a survival instinct. We just want to get away from those awful sounds.

If you are celebrating with fireworks I would like to suggest you keep your good dog home & inside where it will feel safe; preferably not alone. Be sure to close the windows to lessen the sound. If your dog feels safe in a covered crate or under the bed, then by all means give them the option. My late furriend Micky Moo used to hide in the bathtub. Putting your good dog in it’s Thundershirt before the fireworks begin is a good option too. Lavender oil waived under the nose or in a diffuser can have a calming effect. You could also use Adaptil to calm your good dog.

E-Z Rest is an easy – to – use, better absorbed liquid formulation that has been specifically formulated with us dog’s & cat’s anxieties in mind.  The 3 herbs Albizia julibrissin (Silktree Flower), Biota orientalis (Arborvitae Seed), Ziziphus jujuba (Jujube Fruit) in E-Z Rest are referred to as nervines (herbs that specifically help support the nervous system) that act on the central nervous system which in turn help calm your furlegger’s anxieties.

EnduraStress helps to bring a sense of calm, concentration & mental focus to support your furleggers. The 5 herbs in EnduraStress Panax quinquefolius (North American Ginseng Root), Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian Ginseng Root), Astragulus membranaceus (Astragulus Root),  Codonopsis pilosula (Bellfower Root), & Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha Root) are adaptogenic herbs meaning they have health benefits for dealing with stress.  They are synergistic (interacting or cooperating giving rise to a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts) in the formulation to reduce physical & mental stress.

CBD Oil is this dog’s choice but I have used both EZ Rest & EduraStress & found them to be a pawsome choice to help relieve anxiety & stress.  CBD is also known as adaptogen. We know adaptogens assist the body in adapting to the different stress & anxiety faced by us furleggers. CBD does this while also pawmoting long term resilience of body & mind. Since taking CBD I have had more seizure free days & currently I’m 8 MONTHS SEIZURE FREE! That’s why it makes sense that I would rely on CBDs pawsome support.

Stress & anxiety can have dogbilitating effects on a human’s health.  Stress in dogs & cats acts much the same way. Not only can it exacerbate existing physical conditions, but it can lead to a number of problems often considered behavioral.  But luckily, there’s a lot you can do to support your good dog or cool cat.

Stay safe & be calm this howliday.

Have a pawsome week, CEO Olivia, Dot & Jerry Underfoot 💜
