Anxiety in Pets Although certain animals have a more nervous temperament than others, traumatic events or exposure to particular stressors can upset even a normally calm animal. Infrequent events like fireworks, a trip to the vet or thunderstorms cause a lot of stress for household pets because their perception makes the noise or change seem like a threat. Even the everyday noise from a hair dryer or vacuum cleaner can frighten some animals. When pets are not introduced to potentially stressful situations when they are young - like being around small children or other animals - those will often cause a fearful or anxious response, as well. Of course, an abusive situation or change of owner has the potential to instill fear also, and those situations require patience and discipline to overcome. Pets that are left alone for long periods without access to space for exercise and those fed cheap, low-nutrition diets will also develop high levels of stress and anxiety, and may present aggressive or inappropriate behavior. In addition, pets are very attuned to their owner's stress levels. If you are anxious and stressed, your pet will sense it and react in kind. This can be a problem when participating in competitive events like pet shows and breeder competitions. When there is stress in the home due to relocation, divorce or other conflict, PetCalm™ Granules can help your pet cope without compromising her health. The Natural Way The best approach to nervous system health is a holistic one. This includes a healthy diet, regular exercise and a secure home environment - as well as extra support in times of stressful events like moving day. Natural remedies can be very helpful for safely and effectively soothing fear and nervous anxiety. What else can you do to calm your dog or treat pet anxiety during times of stress? Here are some tips from our Clinical Psychologist and Veterinary Nurse: Although it's a natural urge to comfort your pet during times of distress, giving your pet attention when it displays bad behavior during a frightening episode such as a thunderstorm may actually encourage that behavior. Ensure that your pet feels secure, turn up the radio or television to mask loud noises and provide a warm, cozily lit area for your pet to sleep in. Then do your best to ignore any unwanted behavior. It's not easy, but it's the best choice for your pet's overall health. Be consistent with reactions to your pet's behavior. The whole family needs to follow the same routine when dealing with your pet's anxieties, or your pet will become confused and even more insecure. Consider consulting an animal behaviorist if your pet's behavior is affecting quality of life. The sooner you address bad responses to stressful situations, the easier it will be to modify the inappropriate behavior. Start socializing your pet at an early age, helping her to become accustomed to trips in the car, strange noises, children, noisy trucks, etc. Engage in regular daily exercise with your pet to help both of you stay fit and manage everyday stress. Bored, frustrated animals are more likely to misbehave, and exercising together can build close bonds of trust. A confident pet is a happy pet who gets lots of love from her owner, along with consistent rules and discipline. Resources 1. Martin, Kenneth, DVN, and Debra Horwitz, DVM.

Social Behavior in Pets Well-behaved and sociable pets are a delight, but some animals have difficulty interacting with other pets, children or strangers. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including upbringing, socialization problems or past experience. Such pets may display a tendency to bite, growl, scratch or even attack in certain situations - causing a great deal of worry for their owners, who are often at a loss to explain or understand their pet's behavior. Although some breeds are definitely more prone to socialization problems than others, experts say there are usually underlying reasons for their behavior, such as routine problems relating to breeding, past abuse and physical discomfort. Sometimes the poor pet may just be trying to do its job (such as the dog that barks at the postman) but other times owners are desperate to find a solution for their pet's behavior. The Natural Way There are many things which can be done to calm your pet and encourage good social behavior. Here are some tips: Sometimes dominance issues or nervousness can play a part. Consult an animal behaviorist for insight into your pet's problem. Animals that fight over food should be fed on their own in a different room. If a normally calm animal suddenly changes into a socially difficult one, consult a holistic vet as soon as possible, as there may be underlying health problems. Have there been any recent changes in your pet's environment, which may have upset him? Changes such as a new baby or a job that keeps you away for longer periods than before may be the explanation. Regular exercise is a good outlet for pent up emotions and will help to keep your pet healthy and fit. But keep your dog on a leash at all times and consider investing in a muzzle if necessary. Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic). Many behavioral problems can be related to an inadequate diet. Some experts say that animals that are prone to fighting may be eating too much protein. Speak to your vet about introducing more carbohydrate (e.g. rice) and vegetables. As a last resort, neutering your male dog or cat may help to control aggressive behavior. There are many herbs which have been traditionally used to maintain nervous system harmony and support calm behavior. Used as part of a holistic approach, these can make all the difference to your pet.

Signs of a Healthy Immune System Just like the human immune system, the animal immune system is an amazingly intricate and complex system that keeps our pets healthy and helps to protect them against all sorts of invaders and toxins. If the immune system is weakened, every system in the animal body, along with white and red blood cells, energy levels, appetite, and waste elimination can be affected. Additional factors such as diet, living conditions, or exercise levels can contribute to your pet's immune system health. Since immune system health affects the body's natural ability to stay healthy, the importance of maintaining a strong immune system is essential in maintaining your pet's health and overall wellness. Other Ways to Promote a Healthy Immune System Support your pet's immune system health with these tips: Be sure your pet gets uninterrupted sleep. Sleep is one of the most important factors in maintaining a strong and healthy immune system. Ensure your pet has a wholesome diet. Help your pet maintain a healthy weight. Don't stress. Small amounts of stress are natural for animals, but prolonged stress can impact the immune system. Exercise. It's not only good for your pet's body and mind but also helps optimize immune functioning. Additionally, regular activity in fresh air can help relax your pet, encouraging healthy sleep. Play. Chemicals produced in an animal brain while playing are similar to the "feel good" chemicals we experience when we laugh. Keep your pets away from cigarette and tobacco smoke. Chemicals contained in secondhand smoke depress the immune system and negatively impacts its functioning. Keep your pet's toys and bowls clean, and always give your pet fresh water.
