My dog is 12, always been scared of noises, doesn't even have to be loud. He is getting worse. Have tried CD's, tried sedatives for 5th November, but don't know what's going to set him off any more.
Seen Thundershirt on Amazon, has anyone tried it and if so did it help?

They worked for mine and I think they are brilliant. No more frightened out of his wits on bonfire night, just relaxing on the sofa fast asleep. Couldn't believe it. Amazing. They are not expensive and if it doesn't work you'll easily sell it on Gumtree. You must try it, better than drugging your dog. Good luck.

fairycakes, the Thundershirt acts as a comforter so you could use it any time your dog is becoming distressed. I really do hope it works for him and would love to hear how you get on.

Update on Thundershirt : took a few days for him to get used to it, put it on him last night before the fireworks started, it did help a bit, but still shaking and hiding behind the sofa, but not panting as much as usual. So a bit of an improvement, didn't expect a total cure, will see what tonight brings.
