Many of us know how uncomfortable it can be in this hot, hazy and humid weather.  It can be hard to get relief on days where the temperature feels like it just keeps climbing.  Our dogs are no strangers to the downfalls of summer either and are just as affected by the heat as we are (sometimes moreso since they always carry their fur coats).  So to avoid heatstroke (learn more about that here) and help your pup stay cool on these dog days of summer, give these tips a try…

Ringing In the Summer With Things That Go "BOOM!" - How to Help Your Dog Cope With Fireworks and Thunder

It's so common.  The 4th of July approaches and between the fireworks and summer thunderstorms, your dog becomes a drooling, whining, quivering mess in the corner of the room.  Or she becomes so anxious that she literally won't leave your side.  Your heart breaks for her.  Doesn't she understand that these loud noises aren't going to hurt her?  The truth is, for many of our dogs, the loud noises of summer can be a bit too much, as they don't understand why suddenly it seems like the world is falling apart. 
The good news is, fear of these loud noises doesn't have to be a life sentence.  Depending on the severity of your dog's reactions, there are some things you can do to help her cope.  While in severe circumstances, there may be a need for medication to help your dog take the edge off (and for this, you would consult your veterinarian), there are also plenty of natural home remedies that may help your dog deal with her anxiety as you work to provide her some support while desensitizing her to these common summer happenings.
