Keep Your Dog Calm on the 4th
Anxiety is simply a fact of life these days – for us, and our dogs.
We've all suffered from severe stress at one time or another, so we understand that feeling stressed and anxious can be extremely unpleasant, both physically and psychologically.
Stress can take its toll on our minds and bodies in many ways causing depression, emotional outbursts, disruption of sleeping or eating patterns, compromised immune systems, ulcers and panic attacks. The same is true for our dogs.
Many dogs suffer from stress or anxiety. Often our dogs' stress is a response to the stress their humans are feeling. It could also be a response to a stressful situation – a new baby, a new pet, houseguests, moving, kenneling, divorce, a death in the family – even something as simple as a change in daily routine can cause anxiety for your dog.
Fireworks are one of the biggest stressors for dogs. In fact, statistics show a 30% increase in pet runaways related to fireworks.
At this time of year, the noise and commotion of July 4th fireworks celebrations can make dogs whine, quiver, bark, bite, hide, run away, vomit, self-mutilate, urinate, pant… and for some dogs, it can even cause seizures. This is a common fear seen in even the “toughest” of breeds. And these same symptoms can be brought on by thunderstorms.
If your dog suffers from anxiety or “situational” stressors like thunder, fireworks or lifestyle changes, there are things you can do to help. If noise or stressful home conditions are a problem, make a “quiet” room for your dog with soft relaxing music and a comfy spot to rest with a blanket or piece of clothing that has your scent.
Some dogs will welcome your attention and allow you to soothe and comfort them. But sometimes anxiety can cause dogs to become so irritated that they can't be around others. They may even bite if you try to approach them.
In addition to making your dog as physically comfortable as possible, there are also several excellent anxiety aids that can help soothe your dog before and during a stressful situation.
