I have had remarkable success with both Relax (by Dynamite Marketing) and Rescue Remedy in horses and in dogs These are basically bach flower rememedies that address fears. The former is available through independent distributors and the latter is available at many health food stores. I like the Relax best. The Rescue Remedy has a very strong alcohol component which is distasteful to some animals. Only a drop or two at a time are used.
Application of these types of remedies should ideally preceed an impending/anticipated episode and continue through it. However I have seen dramatic results midst an occurrence. It is necessary to be with the animal to adminster these types of remedies in recurring doses until the desired effect is reached or it is apparent the particular remedy is not addressing the individual's fear. I have seen AMAZING results from both of these products and recommend them highly to anyone with an animal with fears that might be addressed in such a manner. Best of luck to you in managing your dog during the fireworks. If I can try to be of assistance in other discussion about application of these remedies, let me know.
