Dogs are remarkably sensitive creatures, and the world around them — including the weather — can have a profound effect on their mood, energy levels, and behaviour. I know this first-hand thanks to my dog Dennis, who seems to have an almost supernatural ability to predict (and react to!) changes in the atmosphere. In this post, we'll explore what's really going on when the weather shifts, covering storms, atmospheric pressure, and yes — even the full moon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696d8d921741bf7cb5fd0d14/9a6eab0e-023e-4942-87b5-ef1a72162c81/thundershirt.jpg Our Blogs - Does the Weather Affect Your Dog's Behaviour? Thundershirts . Recommended by Vets - more than 98% of the Vets surveyed reported having success when using Thundershirt for treating fear and anxiety.

Reduces Stress Symptoms – Minimises panting, trembling, barking, and restlessness linked to travel. Convenient & Easy to Use – Simply spray in the car, crate, or dog carrier before travelling. Trusted by Vets – ADAPTIL is recommended by veterinarians worldwide for managing canine stress. I spray this on Dennis’ bed and thundershirt and it does calm him down. I haven’t tried the room srays but the collars are also good.'‘ Dennis always alerts me that the weather will change so if I am home I have time to remove anything that can be broken from tables or shelves that he can reach ( as he knocks these down in his stressed state). I also keep a fan on for “White noise”. Dennis also likes being on the lead, it seems to reassure him. I have narrowed these solutions down from many many years of trying different thinsg with him so not all will work with your dog but keep going and you will find something! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696d8d921741bf7cb5fd0d14/4b9303ca-afad-4941-b462-97d415dae001/den2.jpg Our Blogs - Does the Weather Affect Your Dog's Behaviour? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.woofandwalk.org/new-blog-1/why-a-short-walk-can-be-the-best-walk-the-power-of-the-sniff monthly 0.5 2026-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696d8d921741bf7cb5fd0d14/7af5cde2-5e5f-44da-9876-0ef37847b155/snuffle+mat+.png Our Blogs - Why a Short Walk Can Be the Best Walk: The Power of the Sniff - Snuffle Mats Snuffle Mat, Dog Snuffle Mat for Anxiety Relief and Slow Feeding, Sunflower Design Interactive Puzzle Toy for Indoor and Outdoor Use, Travel Friendly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696d8d921741bf7cb5fd0d14/4fb13ab4-40cc-4350-b998-438c053f835d/lickimats+for+dogs Our Blogs - Why a Short Walk Can Be the Best Walk: The Power of the Sniff - LickiMats Spread a little peanut butter, yoghurt, or wet food on one of these and watch your dog go to work.
