Need advice: My Saluki mix gets too anxious during sandstorms! 🏜️

Hi everyone! First winter here in Dubai. My rescued Saluki mix gets incredibly stressed when the heavy winds and sandstorms hit. I've tried closing all windows and playing white noise, but he still paces around for hours. Has anyone tried those anxiety vests? Any local trainers that specialize in this?

[VERIFIED VET] Summer is coming: Essential paw protection guide. Please read!

As temperatures start rising above 35°C, I'm already seeing burned paw pads in the clinic. Remember the 5-second rule: If you can't hold your bare hand on the pavement for 5 seconds, your dog shouldn't be walking on it! Stick to early mornings (before 7 AM) or late evenings.

Built this customized cat wall in my apartment. Landlord approved!

Took me two weekends, but the cats absolutely love it. I used sustainable wood and secured everything perfectly so there's zero wall damage when I move out (used tension poles for the main structure).

Has anyone transported a Golden Retriever via Emirates from DXB to LHR recently?

Looking for experiences with the cargo holding during summer months. Are the embargos currently active for large breeds? Appreciate any insights!
