Does Rescue remedy really calm a pet dog during fireworks and thunder?
I’m thankful I do not have a pet dog that’s afraid of fireworks or thunder, but I know these are real fears lots of dogs deal with.
There is no quick fix for helping a pet dog with fireworks, but two products that keep coming up in my discussions are Rescue remedy and Canine Calm.
I’ve heard enough pet dog owners recommend these products that I thought it was worth starting a discussion about them.
Both Rescue remedy and Canine Calm are marketed as natural products created to help a pet dog kick back during stressful situations. I’m sure there are dozens of similar brands out there that claim the same.
I’m highly skeptical that any of these really do much to calm a dog.
However, other pet dog owners tell me otherwise, and maybe these products could help your pet dog as well. If you think your pet dog might need a prescription medication for fireworks, see this post. You can also try giving your pet dog Benadryl for fireworks anxiety.

A bit a lot more about Rescue remedy and Canine Calm:
Does Rescue remedy calm a pet dog afraid of fireworks and thunder?
Bach Rescue Remedy (affiliate link) is advertised as a natural anxiety reliever for dogs made from flower material, according to its web site. You just put a few drops on your dog’s food or in his water. It’s also available for humans.
Rescue remedy will help a pet dog manage stressful situations such as storms or fireworks, according to its web site. The product has an “immediate calming effect.”
You can purchase 20 ml for $20.95 directly from the site. I found it for less on Amazon.
I purchased the product a few years ago when trying to help a foster pet dog deal with separation anxiety. It did not help at all, from what I could tell. I also gave Rescue remedy to my pet dog Ace while traveling, and it did not seem to calm him either. (Maybe in both cases, I should’ve just taken the Rescue remedy myself!)
Others vow by it though, so it might be worth a shot. If you’ve used this product, let me know if it helped your dog.
Canine Calm by earth Heart for helping a pet dog deal with fireworks and thunder
I’m really curious about this product because I know it’s made a difference for some of the pet dog owners I’ve talked to.
Canine Calm (affiliate link) uses pure, vital oils to help dogs relax, according to its web site. It says to gently mist your fingers and then massage your dog’s outer ears or abdomen.
You can also mist the dog’s blanket, bed, etc. If you don’t see results in 10 minutes, it says to repeat as needed.
Ingredients include “pure vital oils” of bergamot, tangerine, lavender, geranium, marjoram and ylang ylang, according to the web site.
You can get 2 ounces of Canine Calm in the mist form for $12.98 off its site or on Amazon.
