It really helped Stanley with the fireworks. My OH poo pooed the idea & wasnt even interested, i think i badgered him that much & made him feel guilty, citing poor Stanleys nerves etc etc. Lol. He got him sum the day before i was goin to & it worked an absolute treat. He sed Stanley wont wear a bandana!! But he did with the spray on it. My OH had to admit it in the end!!
