My dog is terrified of fireworks. What can I give her for anxiety?

Question

I have a female pug. She trembles and palpitates violently when crackers go wild in my neighborhood for a week. We had to sedate her last year. She doesn't eat anything. Can you help? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 4 months old | 22 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Olive is adorable! There are anti-anxiety medications you can try which your veterinarian can prescribe such as Trazodone. I find this medication very helpful in these cases. Good luck!
