Many pet owners experience hard times during Christmas, New Year and afterwards as their pets get really nervous and anxious.
It’s loud, it’s different, there are too many people around and the routine is not as usual. Thus, your cats and dogs can get stressed.
What can be done here?
- When having visitors, let your pets slowly approach to new people. Don’t force the contact.
- Make sure they have a save, cosy and quiet place to relax. It has to be somewhere away from all the fun and excitement. Provide your friends with a nice and cosy bed. A lot of such can be found at Pet Pro Supply:
- Make sure all the routine is as consistent as possible. There are some gadgets to help you with that in case you are away and you can find some of them here at Wopet:
For instance, here is a live camera with video dispenser, which will help you stay in contact with your dog when away. Reseachers have found that leaving your dog with no contact for over 4 hours is bad for its health.
- What is important is to keep your pet busy. If you cannot play with it, leave enough toys lying around.
- If you have to go far and you worry about your own mental health, order a toy shaped just like your loved one (the pet). You can do so at Petsies:
