This week, let’s take a moment to focus on our furry companions’ emotional well-being, especially when it comes to dog anxiety. Dogs give us a lifetime of loyalty—let’s return the favor with extra love and care. ❤️🐾
Just like humans, dogs can suffer from anxiety. Dr. Jaclyn shares some insights to help us understand and support them with dog anxiety.
Common Triggers:
🔹 Loud noises (e.g., fireworks, thunderstorms), separation, past trauma (such as abuse, neglect, or poor socialisation)
Signs of Anxiety:
🔹 Pacing, excessive barking, destructive behaviour, aggression, or clinginess
How to Help:
✅ Behavioural training – desensitisation techniques, positive reinforcement
✅ Holistic approaches – calming supplements, soothing music, pheromone therapy
✅ Medical support – consult your vet for severe or persistent anxiety
Let’s work together to create a calmer, happier world for our dogs. 💛🐶
