Pet Anxiety

Pets have all the same emotions as humans, this means that with all the good may come some of the bad. One of these is anxiety which can come in many forms but is ultimately the product of fear or worry.

Dogs cannot control what their anxiety reacts to and the pet parents’ job is to make sure their furry friend feels safe at home. Some of the things that might lead your pet to freak out include thunderstorms, fireworks, strangers, increased company, and maybe even a new piece of artwork. It is hard to tell exactly when and where your dog may have anxiety and certain holidays may seem like rough times for certain dogs. Halloween and the fourth of July are two holidays that have high anxiety rates for dogs of all ages and sizes.

There are also some forms of anxiety that may benefit from CBD but will need additional help in the behavioral training department. These include cases like separation anxiety, aggressive behavior, and aggression toward other animals.

Anxiety in dogs is a tricky thing to deal with and can sometimes even go unnoticed. It is important to look at some of the symptoms and to check with how your dog is handling themselves to make sure they are not suffering from anxiety. These symptoms include scratching at doors, licking of the lips, increased grooming, whining, panting, shaking, pacing, and uncontrolled urination.
