Separation Anxiety In Pets Is Manageable

 

How to deal with your pet's separation anxiety

Are you compelled to travel to visit family or work?

Before you travel to a holiday, convention, night out or other event, there are many things to remember.

You have to consider the fact that you may be leaving behind a four-legged friend.

Imagine you just left your children alone, with no idea of where you were going, when you would be back, or who would take care of them while you were gone

There are no instructions as to what to do or how to contact us for assistance if needed.

You left without making sure that their concerns, questions and needs were addressed.

It's not good.

You could cause separation anxiety in your fur-family member by doing this. This can lead to bad behavior and worse health.

If you have the right approach, separation anxiety can be managed and avoided in pets.

You don't have to go on a long trip. You can make a change to your routine by going to work, working remotely for several weeks and then returning to work.

You can't change your routines without telling your pet. It's like changing your shift rotation and not telling you husband or kids.

Like the humans you love, pets deserve to be loved and 'kept in line'.

They rely on you. If you make changes to your habits and patterns without any notice or proper provision, they will be able to follow your lead.

Their coping strategies can be even more destructive than those of your family...

It takes thought and care to prevent separation anxiety in pets

Your dog is your entire world... anxiety can make it more difficult for them than other independent pets.

Cats may try to portray themselves as disinterested and aloof if you don't clean up after them. But they also care about your schedule.

Although you might think that riding your horse to a nearby farm is better than boarding at your home, they are used to the same routines every day.

You are part their herd. If they don't understand what's going on or have any questions, it can make their life more difficult.

I don't think you should ever leave your pet at a kennel or sitter. But they must be informed about what's going on.

Treat your pet as a person who is worthy

Separation anxiety is when your pet feels abandoned. You should inform your pet about any changes to your schedule, whether permanent or temporary.

This means that you must tell them:

 

• What should you expect?
• Things will happen when they should
• Who is involved?
• What you want from them
• What you would like them to do
• How long you'll stay away or how long this transformation will last
• They will be kept in a kennel, or taken care of in their own home.
• If you're returning

 

It will help to explain to your pet about the changes in their environment and patterns. This will reduce separation anxiety.

Does your pet suffer from separation anxiety?

You can build a strong relationship with your pet and make them happy as you adjust to the changes in your routine.

However, if they don't take the time to talk with you about your experiences, there will be clear indications they are anticipating bad things.

1. Panting, zoomies, and peeing in all the wrong spots.

After a hard workout, dogs will pant to cool off. The zoomies could indicate that your pet is happy and carefree.

Are they constantly panting, even though the home is at a comfortable temperature?

Do they bounce off walls and furniture?

Are they throwing away their food at the door or have they chosen a different bathroom than the one in the yard or litterbox? Perhaps your closet, pillow or behind the sofa.

These behaviors could be signs of an underlying medical condition such as heart disease or infection.

If they are experiencing problems with bladder control or vomiting, you can take them to the veterinarian.

If you are going through a major life transition, take a step back and consider what your pet may be telling you.

2. 2.

Refrain from thinking, "Wow, that dog has been sitting still so long!" It's amazing that they are so disciplined.

To determine separation anxiety in pets, total stillness doesn't necessarily mean that they are calm.

Your pet could have'shut down,' or is frozen due to anxiety.

They are trying to reset themselves. They may appear calm and alert, but they could be feeling very scared. They don't know how to deal with their fear.

They are like a deer caught in the headlights. They are trying to process the situation, but they don't want the urge to move until they have a plan.

3. Going full Tasmanian devil.

An anxious pet feels left out. Instead of retreating, they take the initiative to get your attention.

They start to steal food from the kitchen counter and bark at anyone who walks by their house.

This can make you think that your pet is suddenly a bad one.

Anger that you feel creates a negative feedback loop.
