What to do for Stressed and Anxious Pets

What else can I do to help my pet?
• Regular exercise is essential. High energy pets need a natural outlet for their energy and exhaustion can have a dramatically calming effect on a too active animal! Plus, exercise has been shown to have a mood-stabilizing, calming effect.
• Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic). Behavioral issues can often be related to food intolerances and an inadequate diet. A diet that is too high in protein can also be a factor. If in doubt, please consult your vet.
• Avoid exposure to toxins and chemicals as much as possible including pesticides, herbicides, commercial flea collars, flea powder, insecticides and second-hand cigarette smoke. Also make sure that food and water bowls are made of glass, stainless steel or porcelain. Cook food in stainless-steel pans, not aluminum or copper pans
• Don't feed your pet chocolate as even a small amount can be toxic
• Use PetAlive PetCalm to immediately soothe a highly-strung pet.
• Instead of reacting to your pet's bad behavior, try ignoring it and leaving the room -- the idea being to eliminate any attention-seeking efforts on their behalf. A pet behaviorist will give you further advice and ideas.
• Take note of particular stressors in your pet's environment that may be causing problems (particularly recent changes) and take whatever steps are feasible to minimize them.
• Ensure that your home is a secure environment where your pet feels safe.
• As a last resort, neutering or spaying may also have a calming effect on your pet.
• Natural remedies have a long history of providing safe and effective solutions. The correct choice can make all the difference!
