Are deaf dogs afraid of thunder and lightning?

I was wondering if they could sense the turbulence through vibrations.

1. My dog is deaf according to the vet,...

what sounds he now hears are transmitted through his skull. He was terrified of thunder until he went deaf... Now he no longer notices it, no matter how loud. Fire works are the same story.

2. Hmm...then I wonder if we can make doggie ear plugs to alleviate

the anxiety in the others?

4. I would have thought that had been tried before now.

If you have a dog, why not try buying some human earplugs...see how they fit, whether they will remain in, and of course try them out during a storm.

3. I first thought it was about dogs for deaf people
