THUNDERSTORM AVERSION GOES BEYOND FEAR.
Thunderstorm aversion in dogs is an extreme reaction not only to the sound of thunder, but also the stimuli that signal that a storm may be coming.
Dogs may react to rain or a change in barometric pressure before thunderstorms occur. Some owners report observing the signs of anxiety as much as 3 days prior to a thunderstorm. And it can take hours or even days for some dogs to fully recover.

Let’s work together to help them
If your dog has experienced thunderstorm aversion, you’ve probably tried all kinds of things to help. But unfortunately, there are very few scientifically proven treatments.
That’s why we hope this clinical study will lead to a new option for helping dogs with this aversion – one that is both easy for owners to administer throughout thunderstorm season, and which helps prevent the anxiety and fear behaviors before they start.
