love their "drugs', which I give them during thunderstorms.

Excel Calm-quil calming tabs. Natural ingredients. I give them each a couple and then put them in their crates. Then I take an old towel and spray it with dog appeasing pheremone spray and drape it across the front.

They usually fall asleep
