Right now we’re in North Central FL, and we are having CRAZY thunderstorms right now and tornado watches on TV. While I was in the shower, this poor, storm frightened dog who hates water walked in the shower to feel safe with me. Now she’s in the closet with 10 blankets on her. Stay safe

Oh the poor baby! Please give her a cuddle from me.

Apparently dogs look to you to tell whether they should be worried or not, so during storms and fireworks and the like, rather than speaking softly to and coddling them as is anyone’s natural instinct, which they’ll interpret as a sign they should be worried, you should instead act strong and completely unfazed to calm them down.

Poor girlie

That shower though

Stay safe.

Sorry to hear about your dog. Have you tried a thunder shirt – lots of people say it really reduces their dogs symptoms during a storm. We use one for when my dog has anxiety and it does work in reduction but its notna 100% cure.

I loved storms until I got a dog who’s terrified of them. Poor babies.

Poor girl. My Akira dog would get super stressed out whenever she knew a storm was coming, and fourth of July was unbearable for her. Give her lovings for me, tell her it will be okay.

Awwww! Poor puppy!

Just fyi, it’s not safe to shower in a thunderstorm. [https://www.today.com/home/experts-share-why-you-should-never-shower-during-thunderstorm-t127484](https://www.today.com/home/experts-share-why-you-should-never-shower-during-thunderstorm-t127484)

Poor Thing!

Awe poor thing 😢😔

Wish you all the best and safe coming days

Have you tried Sileo? It’s available from your vet and works well for anxiety in dogs. It’s a gel you rub on their gums.

Poor baby. She needs a thunder shirt.

Try cancel out headphones if you have them! Poor puppy!

A lab that hates water… poor thing. Water gives most labs joy, not fear.

Awe poor baby. My dog is the same way.

And it’s still storming. My dog is shaking next to the bed. Poor darling is so brave about everything else, but storms terrify her.

Is FL Florence?

One of mine has serious anxiety too and she always goes to the bathroom closet. In fact she stayed in there all day yesterday.

Hope you guys are fine!

My big guy hates the boom booms too! Rain is no problem, but the second the thunder claps, he’s trying to hide under the floor.

Is she your dog or a stray that was outside

Awww puppy!!!!!

I hope she got extra cuddles, kisses, and treats!

Try CBD! It helps my anxious dog calm down. Stay safe 🙂

This intrigued me. Look up sound proofing dog crates. Ford MC even has made a prototype. Zencrate is FL based. Thick (moving style) blankets is actually one of the best things. (((((((((((((( woof )))))))))))))))))

Sweet angel baby. Hope she’s okay.

Aww poor baby! One of my dogs has considered doing this a few times in similar circumstances, but usually will just poke his head in and then will lay right up against the shower until I get out. I think the walls of our tub make him feel safe? Sometimes I’ll find paw prints in there in the morning after a storm… Or just seemingly at random.

He’s a very anxious dog and gets scared of a lot of stuff. Like he hates the tones Facebook messenger makes for some reason… We of course mute our phones, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out what’s triggering him.

Have you ever tried the thunder vest? Works similar to the blankets
