Best calming drops / spray for fireworks

[Polos Mum]

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for brands of calming drops / spray to help my dog over firework season.

Has anyone had any success with these?

They tend to go on for weeks around here so I'm not keen to use anything stronger from the vet for an extended period

I tried the dap defuser and the collar, didn't work. Zyklene (recommended on here) works well for her but isn't cheap. Vet says its fine for prolonged use though even though the box says short term issues, so she's on that now till new year and topped up with meds from vet for bonfire night, following Saturday and new years eve.

I’ve just ordered some Zyklene for my dog, we’re going to a holiday cottage in Devon and she needs to be on best behaviour (reactive to dogs), she’ll be great in the house and dogs aren’t allowed off lead onsite (apart from the 5 acre field which we’ll avoid) so no one should come near her, but I’d rather she was on best behaviour. I’ve also got one stronger sedative left over from our elderly dog with cognitive decline just in case.

Should arrive Wednesday so I can start dosing her!

Hempine CBD. The droppers are good for more occasional use

We use the valerian and skullcap drops from Dorwest herbs and notice a difference.

My heeler started with separation anxiety after we lost our old dog back in July. He is on daily valerian and skullcap tablets plus the drops for particularly stressful times, and I feel it has made a difference.

I've used the human Rescue Remedy spray on a bit of biscuit before, when I had a dog that was scared of fireworks and it worked really well.
