Stress Signs in Pets

What is Stress in Pets?

Pets can experience stress just like humans. It's very important to identify the source of stress and take appropriate action.

Stress Symptoms

Behavioral changes, loss of appetite, excessive shedding, aggression, or withdrawal can be signs of stress.

Stress in Dogs

Barking, chewing, house accidents, and escape behaviors are stress signs seen in dogs.

Stress in Cats

When cats experience stress, they may eliminate outside the litter box, over-groom, or hide.

Stress Reduction Methods

Regular routines, creating safe spaces, play and exercise, and pheromone products are effective in reducing stress.
