My dog is quiet and not eating during a thunderstorm. Is he afraid?

Question

It's raining heavily with thundering and lightning. Mike has become really quite and ate very little. Is he afraid or is it something else? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 3 months old

Poor Mike. It is difficult to answer your question without getting Mike's full clinical history. However, loud noises can really frighten our pets so it would be a good reason for him not to be himself. Try offer him a place where he can hide and feel secure during these times, a confined area, with his bed and a blanket over so that the lightening is masked and if possible away from the thunders.
