By now, you’ve learned about signs and symptoms of cat and dog anxiety, read books and watched videos about it, and now we’re going to dive into products and solutions to help treat your pet’s anxiety.
Many pets will need more than one treatment. For example, a dog that’s afraid of noises may need to wear a ThunderShirt and get treated with a medication.
A cat that’s stressed over visitors may need pheromone therapy and a designated zen zone in the home.
Always discuss your pet’s anxiety with your veterinarian to create a treatment plan that works for you and your pet.
