We all suffer from stress every now and again and some of us suffer from stress more than others. The same is true of our pets. Where one dog may be happy and content when home alone with just a good dog bed and his favorite toy for company, another may howl and pine and remain stressed until his owner returns.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your pet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s behavior is the best indicator that they are suffering from anxiety or stress. They tell us a lot by their actions, their physiological responses, and sometimes by the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153evidence\u00e2\u20ac\u009d they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve left while you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the years we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve worked with many cases of stress in animals \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from dogs and cats, to rabbits, birds and horses! While many animals exhibit similar manifestations, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s comforting to know that we need not see our animals suffer and that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s much we can do to help keep them relaxed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our four legged patients was a dog who showed his separation anxiety by climbing into a pot plant and howling. He would convince himself that his owner wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t home \u00e2\u20ac\u201c even when she was \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and commence his sad protest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another was a rescue dog who shows aggressive behavior towards the other dogs in her home, because she feels threatened and uncertain of her own safety. This same dog also got car sick and vomited all over the back seat on any journey longer than 30 minutes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Loud noises such as fireworks or thunder cause stress and anxiety in countless dogs and cats all around the world and can cause them to bounce off the walls or hide somewhere in the house, trembling with fear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some pets can wreck furniture, scratch up the place or relieve themselves when experiencing extreme anxiety. Panting, drooling, whining and fretting are all indicators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n None of these manifestations of stress are desirable behaviors and as loving pet owners we obviously want to help comfort and calm our animals as best we can.
