What's the best thing to give her before the panic attack start happening when the fireworks start going off in the neighborhood? She doesn't like thunder either.

Judge to the snout.
Just kidding. A small dog box that they barely fit in. Dogs love small boxes. They feel safer when they're cramped up and they behave well when they feel safe.
Give a dog a big box and a small box and he's gonna sleep in the small one.

There is a product called thunder shirts that are made for dogs. It wraps tightly around their bodies and it helps reduce stress and anxiety due to thunder, fireworks, gunfire, car rides, etc, etc. They run about $40 though but seem to work really well.

Benadryl
quote:
Yes you can and here is some info about it and dosages. Please read carefully.
Benadryl:
Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine. It is used for the treatment of allergies and atopy, primarily to stop itching. (Atopy is an allergy to something that is inhaled, such as pollen or house dust; also called 'inhalant allergy.') It may also be used to control vomiting and motion sickness, as a mild sedative, and to treat muscle tremors due to certain toxins or medications. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences sleepiness, agitation, a rapid heart beat, depressed respiration, an inability to urinate, vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite while being treated with diphenhydramine.
Benadryl for Dogs or Cats
Benadryl is a brand name for an anti-histamine (diphenhydramine). Although it is considered fairly safe for use in dogs and cats, please be aware that it does have potential adverse side effects. It may interact with other meds that your pet is taking, so do not use it without first consulting your veterinarian. You should also use extreme caution using Benadryl in dogs that have glaucoma, prostatic disease, cardiovascular disease or hyperthyroidism.
Benadryl is quite effective when used in proper dosages.
Stops itching
Controls vomiting
Good for motion sickness
Can be used as a mild tranquilizer
Good for snake bites
Useful for vaccination reactions
Good for bee stings and insect bites
Be sure to use only the plain Benadryl formula. Giving benadryl with other combination of meds could be fatal, so be sure to read the box. Make sure is is Bendadryl ONLY, not a combination of pain relievers.
Liquid Benadryl is too high in alcohol content to be safely used for animals. Please use capsule or pill form.
Dosage every 8 hours
Dogs under 30 lbs and Cats : 10 mg
Dogs 30-50 lbs: 25 mg
Dogs over 50 lbs: 50 mg
Also, if you feed your dog a premium holistic food you will see a difference in your dogs itchy skin. Foods such as: Canidae, Chicken soup For the Dog Lovers Soul, Innova, Wellness, are all great foods that contain only ingredients that are good for your pet. You can find them in the yellow pages under PetFoods/Supplies. Look for stores that advertise holistic foods and you will find a good, quality food there. Foods from the grocery store shelves, and foods such as Iams and Science Diet have by-products in them, along with dyes, BHA, BHT, and ethoxiquin. All ingredients that can cause many medical conditions in dogs, including itchy skin. Also, add Safflower Oil to your dogs food. 1 TBSP in each meal should do the trick.
Best to you.

Tie her up close to the family and have her join in. Pet her and acclimate her to them.

Benadryl + xanax!!
Used to give my lab benadryl when he was small during car rides. If i remember correctly u can give them a pretty high dose, 75mg or some shite... Doesnt last long tho due to their high metabolism.

My catahoula is the same way. I have to pen him up. He broke out a few years ago while we were gone to a firework show and stayed gone two days

Had a dog when I was a kid that would try to catch them. The lab I have now always want to be right beside them when they shoot off. He is terrified of thunder and rain though.

Ya Benadryl or put them in a dog box or where they sleep. My lab is deathly afraid of thunder and fireworks yet cannot get out in the field fast enough w 12 ga. W/ this dog he is happiest (but still not happy) in his crate or in the laundry room where he sleeps – I don’t make a fuss over it to make the situation worse, just deal w/ it at the time and move on
