HINTS FOR PET OWNERS

Anxiety in animals can occur for a number of reasons. Something as simple as moving house where they are in a new environment may even cause this. Be patient with your pet and help to relieve its anxiety. You should consult your Vet for the best approach, however some ideas that can help are:

Behavioural training (you can use treats to reward them for something they don’t usually like, to help them associate it with something they do!)

Give them dedicated attention and set aside time each day to play with them, go for a walk and let them sniff, play with toys or throw a ball

Schedule exercise with your pet before you need to leave.

Calming medicines or treats may assist in reducing anxiety temporarily.
