Thread: Are your pets afraid of thunderstorms?

    Are your pets afraid of thunderstorms?

    Are your pets afraid of thunderstorms or do they just ignore them?

    Teddy doesn't even notice them.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    I voted only the really bad storms cause snugges usually could care less unless it is really dark. When they happen at night though she curls up right next to me as if she is just making sure I am still there!

    LOL AWWWW

    It's funny actually cause I am the one afraid of thunderstorms in this house. When I was younger I had a miniature schnauzer and it was like a race to see who got to my mom's room first after the first crack of thunder

    I have never had a pet afraid of storms! My SIL had a shepard mix, that had to be sedated if there was a storm!! If she wasn't sedated she would tear the house apart!!!

    I love thunderstorms! The lightning and the thunder excite me. Not many in my family like them though.

    YES!! They terrify Tinky and Jupiter. They make a mad dash to get under the bed during storms..

    I'm scared of them too. So much for them being my comforting heroes!!

    Sasha has to bark louder than the thunder rumbles. She will even want to go outside on the deck, where she turns in a circle and barks at the sky. If it's particularly noisy then she tries to crawl under my skin. Poor doggie.

    I wouldn't say any of mine are scared, but Murph and Oz prefer to be in the house, when it's thundering. Gull and I will usually play a lil' frisbee if it's far enough away, with Oz barking at us to get our crazy selves in the house where it's safe. Once we're inside and his duty's accomplished, he relaxes though.

    Ethan is absolutely terrified of them. Even the small ones send him running to his "safe spots" to shiver in fright.
    Skylar is only afraid of the larger ones, and all he wants to do is sit in someone's lap and bury his head in their arms.
    Frisk doesn't even act like he notices them as long as he's with someone. If he's alone on the sunroom or something, he'll come running to me as if he's asking me if I know there is a storm here^^. Then he calms down.
    The cats appear to ignore them.

    Nala is terrified to the point she makes herself sick sometimes.

    We have to FORCE her outside to potty after storms.

    Simba & Kiara don't care.

    Sierra sleeps through storms and Buddy tries to jump through doors and windows. I used to give him Aceproamizine (sp?) but had to keep upping the dose and it was starting to affect his breathing so now he takes Valium.
