How does your dog feel about thunderstorms? While some dogs are ignorant of the disturbing noise atmosphere's natural electrical charges make, others are afraid of them to the bone. Is your dog afraid of thunderstorms and lightning?

Thunder and lightning are scary, that’s a fact. Even many people are afraid of them, and most dogs are no different as we can see when they often tremble, shiver and try to hide during a storm. The flashing lightning, the boom of the thunder, the house shaking, dogs are highly sensitive to all this unexpected noise and movement, which can wear highly on their nerves.

Dogs are very sensitive to smell and sound, especially to high-frequency sounds. In a thunderstorm, dogs can probably smell the ionizing effect in the air and they are scared from the great impact of the sound of thunder. The frequencies of the sounds are wide, and probably high-frequency sounds are produced as well, similar to fireworks, which scare many dogs as well.

This adorable pooch is found lying on the kitchen floor, which it believes be a perfect place to hide when lightning strikes. Reportedly, the adult pooch hates all loud noises, so during a nasty thunderstorm it is easily comforted when its human protects its body by lying on top of it! Watch how comfortably the pooch feels when covered with its little human’s body. Hilarious!

The good news is that the storm will pass, because storms always pass, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do something to comfort your pet during a thunderstorm! There has been a recommendation to rub dryer sheets on your dog’s fur during thunderstorms, to help minimize the effects of the static electricity. Does this work?
