š¾ How to Recognize Stress in Your Pet
Our pets feel stress just like we do. Since they canāt talk, they show it through small behaviorsāsignals that are easy to miss. Here are three simple signs to help you quickly check your petās condition.
ā 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.
ā 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, itās a clear red flag.
ā 3. Hiding or Excessive Barking
Cats may hide, while dogs might bark more than usual. Both behaviors often indicate anxiety or discomfort.

Create a quiet and safe resting space

Maintain a consistent walk/play routine

Provide familiar-scent blankets or toys
