July is the time when the fireworks begin, thunderstorms can roll in at night and dogs can become anxious and scared. When our furry friends become scared by noises, there is potential for dogs to cause harm to themselves and others. Sileo (meaning "to be silent" in Latin) is a product developed by Orion Corporation and distributed by Zoetis, specifically for dogs with noise aversion. When dogs suffer from noise aversion they can show symptoms during events of fireworks and thunderstoms such as pacing/restlessness, lip licking, trembling, panting, cowering, hiding, freezing/immobility, clinginess, refusal to eat, yawning and vocalizing.  According to Zoetis's* website, "At least one-third of dogs in the United States have noise aversion. Dogs experiencing noise aversion are distressed and suffering. They can damage property, injure themselves or escape. The suffering associated with self-inflicted trauma is readily recognized, but the physiological and emotional toll experienced by dogs with less obvious signs of noise aversion is often overlooked." With July 4th and our own Utah holiday, Pioneer Day, approaching, there is great potential for dogs to become stressed and nervous due to the noise from fireworks. To help them and their owners, this product alleviates noise anxiety by calming the dog without sedating, which means they will have normal interactions with their owners. However, Sileo isn't just for events such as fireworks and thunderstorms. Does your dog suffer from noise aversion due to traffic? Construction work? Loud noise from parties or celebrations? Talk to your vet about using Sileo for cases like these!  Sileo is the first and only FDA-approved treatment you can use at home for noise aversion in dogs and is clinically proven to be safe and effective without other treatments. It is fast-acting and can be used as needed for each noise event.  If you have a dog that gets very nervous and scared during storms and fireworks, or displays some of the common behaviors shown in the picture below, give us a call to set up an appointment to discuss this product with one of our doctors.
Sileo is a prescription, therefore we will need to see your pet to prescribe this. If you have any questions please call our clinic at 801-782-4401.

Most of the time I don’t make comments on websites, but I'd like to say that this article really forced me to do so. Really nice post! 12/5/2019 04:58:43 am
This is where many people can work with dogs care. I am looking for something new and good to take care of my pitbull. Hope this can solve my problem. 12/21/2019 10:15:38 pm
The fact that the Sphynx is a hairless cat is only a small part of why we are Sphynx lovers. Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens have very unique personalities. I really do not consider myself an owner of Sphynx cats, because really, my Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens own me! Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens love their owners unconditionally. The Sphynx has so much love to give and is willing to love anyone that will allow them into their lives. 12/23/2019 11:26:34 pm
If you have a large un-leashed dog approaching you and your small leashed dogs, I'm not sure which dogs the horn will terrify most. 12/28/2019 03:04:58 am

Wish I had known this was available a few years ago. I lost my dog to cancer that was unknown to both the vets and me. We were treating Jack for bronchitis.........we were not prepared for his death. After he died the vets asked to perform an animal autopsy, which I authorized. We were all stunned to discover that one of his lungs was riddled with cancer. I was devastated. An organization of this type would have been of extreme benefit to me. Keep doing the good work. We pet lovers need the support . 5/6/2020 12:08:44 pm

I like that you also include information on what’s actually in the recipe – makes it super easy to understand and it’s reassuring to be able to make your own and know what you’re giving your pet. When we get treats from in stores, I spend a solid few minutes looking over the ingredients to make sure…so it’s nice to know maybe making my own treats (for our cats) could be easier than I thought.
