Friendly reminder that if your furry friends get scared In thunderstorms you should try and comfort them or better yet get them a thunder coat, or just hug them really tight, whatever you do remember that they have feelings too and if you can help them, do.
i thought this post was about furries and i’m fucking sobbing
If you guys ever need hugs, let me know. ❤
If this is truly about dogs in thunderstorms:
Actually… thunder shirts, yes. Otherwise, you should ignore them. The more you comfort and coo at them the more you are reinforcing the anxiety behavior. Unless they are hurting themselves, another animal, or really destroying something important, leave them alone. Let them hide behind the toilet or in the bathtub, whatever it is they want to do. If it’s curled up in your lap or on top of your head (I’m speaking from personal experience on that one), still ignore them- don’t talk to them or acknowledge them as much as possible.
