Treating Anxiety in Dogs Symptoms
Treating dog anxiety isn’t always as simple as taking some medication; it takes understanding a dog’s behaviour, as well as their fears, to help.
If you think they are suffering from anxiety and you’re not sure why, the first thing you should do is take them to the vets.
They can help you identify the cause of anxiety in dogs symptoms as well as rule out any other medical issues that may be causing their problem.
Once you know what it is, if possible, you can try to remove the source of fear—for example, taking the ‘scary’ object out of their view, avoiding busy areas or keeping them in familiar environments.
Anxiety in dogs symptoms are extremely common. Unfortunately, in many cases, it’s almost impossible to avoid – either through necessity or it being out of our control. A key example of this is leaving your dog when you go to work.
