Dogs & fireworks - please share if this will help a dog you know!

Here is the 4th of July routine I follow for my fearful dog. We give him prescription anti anxiety medication and prepare a "safe room" for him (he chose the downstairs bathroom as his "safe spot"). Lots of exercise in the morning and some stuffed, frozen Kong chews for him as it gets dark. Good luck to all the dogs this year! 🐾 🎆

Let me know what has helped your dog during fireworks (if anything). Benadryl is one option that can help some dogs feel calm if they're scared. Our vet said it's OK to give Benadryl to dogs.

Benadryl for dogs during fireworks, does it work? How much to give? Is it safe? The general dose is 25mg per 25 pounds of body weight.

Does giving affection to a fearful reinforce his fears?

You may have heard it's best not to give comfort to a scared dog, but this is not true as long as you are calm while giving affection.

Wanted to share this article on returning an adopted dog because this happens more often than people realize. In 2020, I chose to return an adult dog I had planned to adopt. It was so hard but the right choice for my family and the dog. ❤️

Sometimes adopting a dog doesn't work out and you have to think about returning the shelter or rescue dog or finding him a new home.

In 2021 I had the goal to run, walk and bike 2,021 miles (any combo). I'm happy to report I met my goal! 🏃‍♀️

I'm so thankful I got to race a trail 10K with my dog in June, race 24 miles on the Bangtail Divide trail in July, race the Jackson Hole 10K while 12 wks pregnant and a 9-mile hike up to 9,000 feet with Josh in October. And hundreds of miles with Remy pup a step ahead. I do not take movement for granted. 🐾
