Many people have situations that cause fear or panic; heights, spiders, snakes, flying or public speaking. Just as we can be triggered, so can our dogs. The most common fear triggers for dogs are thunderstorms, fireworks, and separation from their pack/people.
Your Lab was originally bred to be a hunting dog, of course. They learn in field training to associate the environment of the woods, lake or field with gun fire. The sound is expected and they have time to prepare. Thunder and fireworks are unexpected, loud noises that can startle them and can actually hurt their ears.
Relax Dog Aromatherapy takes the edge off fear and stress for your Lab without the need for harsh drugs, by using our custom blend of essential oils. Relax isn't going to sedate your dog, it isn't supposed to. Relax gently calms your dog and reassures them everything is going to be ok. We include complete directions in each purchase and it is all below also.
