Just like humans, pets experience stress — but they often can’t tell us directly. Recognizing early signs can prevent serious health or behavioral issues.
Watch out for:
-
Excessive licking or grooming
-
Hiding or avoiding contact
-
Appetite changes
-
Aggression or sudden mood swings
-
Excessive barking or whining
-
Pacing or restlessness
-
Sleep pattern changes
How to help your pet:
✔ Create a calm environment with soothing music or scents.
✔ Stick to a consistent routine — pets love predictability.
✔ Offer mental stimulation with toys and short training sessions.
✔ Ensure regular exercise and outdoor time.
✔ Use vet-recommended calming treats or diffusers if needed.
Your presence and gentle reassurance often make the biggest difference. A calm pet is a happy pet — and a happy pet makes a happy home.
