We've typically had 3 dogs at a time. 13 of our own over the years. All but 5 who were adopted from rescues, and the others dumped or strays who had no one looking for them.
Not all of them have been storm/fireworks sensitive but roughly half have experienced the terror yours have during fireworks.
About 20 years ago, I started putting cotton balls in their ears as well as putting on their Thundershirts. During the day, before most of the fireworks start shooting off, I put on an action movie with explosions (which never bothered any of them), feed them treats, turn the sound up and keep something until fireworks stop.
It isn't 100%, but it does seem to help tamp down the fireworks terror by at least 50%.
