🐾 How to Recognize Stress in Your Pet

Our pets feel stress just like we do. Since they can’t talk, they show it through small behaviors—signals that are easy to miss. Here are three simple signs to help you quickly check your pet’s condition.

āœ” 1. Changes in Eating Habits

If your pet suddenly eats much less or much more than usual, it may be a sign of stress. Pay special attention if this happens after a recent change in their environment.

āœ” 2. Excessive Grooming

Dogs and cats often groom themselves to calm down. When they repeatedly lick the same spot to the point where fur starts to thin, it’s a clear red flag.

āœ” 3. Hiding or Excessive Barking

Cats may hide, while dogs might bark more than usual. Both behaviors often indicate anxiety or discomfort.


🐶 How Can You Help?

  • Create a quiet and safe resting space

  • Maintain a consistent walk/play routine

  • Provide familiar-scent blankets or toys

  • Use calming treats or stress-relief products

Noticing small changes early is the key to keeping your pet healthy and happy.
