My dog is suddenly restless and anxious after a storm. Why?

Question

Hi, we live in an apartment and tonight was a rainy day, there were thunderstorm but it wasn’t really that loud. Now, my dog just kept on walking around the room. When I carry him, he just stares at the window and then do the door. He also just follows me wherever I go and whenever I’m at the door he keeps calling my attention to open it, even when the rain and sound of thunder stopped. He was never like this before, so I don’t quite understand what he really wants, can you please help me? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male

Hi there. It sounds like Champ may be feeling anxious or stressed for some reason, but without being able to evaluate him in person and get a much more detailed behavioral history, there's really no way to know what might have caused this. You can try using a DAP pheromone diffuser along with a natural calming supplement like Zylkene or Composure for the next few days to see if this helps.
