Dogs and electric storms

[seedcorn]

I've heard it's the static electricity that their hair picks up. So if you pet them w/static cling reducer(those sheets you use in driers), they handle storms much better. Anyone try that? I never think of it during storms as my dog is hiding in garage.

Very interesting! My sisters dog is petrified of electrical storms. He bawls and shakes the whole time! I will have to tell her to try this.

* I used to have to use herbal calmatives on ours-- but after 4 hurricanes she's been much better, really. BUT, We had a close lightening strike last week that put the cat a foot in the air, and then in hiding for the first time ever, as far as I know!!!

All my dogs are hiding, no where to seen during storms. LOL. Bunch of chickens! Can't even say that 'cause the chickens couldn't care less. LOL
