Understanding Your Dog's Stress and How to Help

Dogs, like humans, can experience stress due to various factors such as changes in routine, loud noises, separation anxiety, or even health issues. Signs of stress in dogs include excessive barking, panting, pacing, trembling, or even destructive behavior. To help your dog cope with stress, it's crucial to identify the triggers and provide a safe and calming environment. You can help by establishing a routine, providing mental and physical stimulation through activities like interactive toys or puzzle games, ensuring regular exercise, and creating a quiet space for your dog to retreat to when feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, consider using calming aids like pheromone diffusers or calming supplements under the guidance of a veterinarian. Always consult with a professional if you notice persistent signs of stress in your dog.
