Before the sky darkens with clouds, your dog’s strong sense of smell and hearing may allow them to pick up on the changes in the weather before you. Some dogs may be able to sense a change in atmospheric pressure as another sign of an incoming storm. Most importantly, your dog will be watching your cues and signals. The changes in your behavior, and even the changes in your smell, may signal to your dog that something is about to happen. As you prep for an incoming storm, be mindful and attuned to your dog’s stress signals, such as panting, restlessness, or pacing. This means they are looking for reassurance and comfort!
