Re: Puppy Dead of Fright.
Well the Adapt calmer worked a treat last night when she settled she even ate a bit of food before bed.This past week she as not been touching her food or drink just sitting shaking and in the mornings her bowl had been emptied as she would sneak down after midnight and have a midnight feast when all was quiet.
Really not a fan of these plug in the power socket smelly things because I feel they are not 100% safe because they tend to get hot.
So before I went to bed I switched it off,will turn it back on around 3 pm when the kids are coming home from school and the noise starts again.
That way it should also last a lot longer than the 30 days estimated on the box.

Re: Puppy Dead of Fright.
I would guess the poor puppy had a heart defect to begin with to have such a terrible reaction.
I desensitise new puppies to fireworks so fireworks = something pleasurable eg a game with toys and treats.
When I walk Chloe late at night and there are random fireworks Chloe never flinches while I jump a mile.
Amy the dog before Chloe was desensitised but when she was old suddenly developed a fear of fireworks. She had a degree of CCD (canine cognitive dysfunction ) so I think her brain registered familiar sounds differently and she was terrified. So TV on loud and curtains drawn tightly on bonfire night.
I worry about the farm animals in the fields and the wildlife, fireworks must be terrifying for them . I have seen a herd of cows spooked charging around the field they could easily get hurt.

That's exactly what I thought too, Meg.
His photograph and this incident was mentioned on telly lunchtime when they were debating about fireworks.
Every single year the loudness of these bangs is debated but nothing is done, and they still get louder.

Re: Puppy Dead of Fright.
FWIW, our dog used to be very nervous with fireworks.This time round he was fine. We have been giving him Serene-Um tablets.
