Michele’s Message

While we can do our best to care for our pets, sometimes there are factors beyond our control that we cannot prevent from occurring... rather, we just have to take action once they occur.

The normal aging process and noise-related anxiety are two major factors that can wreak havoc on our pet's health and well-being. While we may not be able to completely prevent these conditions from occurring, we certainly can take steps to alleviate and slow the effects both can have on our pets' health.  

Check out our helpful articles on managing these common conditions.

Best wishes to you and your pet,

FROM THE EDITOR

Hand in Paw

It goes without saying that our pets become a part of the family pretty quickly. Given the way they become intertwined in our lives, also it's natural to grow quite attached... and often hard to see them begin to show signs of aging.

However, there are many ways you can slow your pet's deterioration of health and even prevent some conditions from becoming full-blown ailments.

While age-related health troubles are just a part of nature that we must deal with, there are also behavioral issues that can be stressful for owners to endure throughout a pet's life, as well. Often owners aren't sure how to address certain phobias that can greatly affect a pet's well-being, especially noise phobias.

Whether your pet is going through common changes associated with aging or just has a sensitive nature, any pet owner can benefit from the knowledge of the best way to handle and comfort unsettled nerves. However, like all behavioral techniques, moderation and balance are key.

Controlling Common Aging

Caring for common pet health ailments

While we'd all love to turn back the clock and have our pets puppies and kittens again (fully potty-trained, of course!), unfortunately, they too must deal with the same aging process that we experience. However, there are common conditions that you can help control by implementing preventative health care measures.

In addition, addressing slight problems right away can lead to reduced costs in long-term care, as many diseases are potentially preventable. As diseases advance, the cost of treatment also increases. Therefore, early detection and regular maintenance can go a long way to building a strong foundation for your pet's health.

Nix Noise Phobias in Pets

As a pet owners, we come to expect mishaps now and then-a wetting accident after being left alone too long, changed behavior in a new environment, stomach upset after a new food-but sometimes, unavoidable and seemingly inexplicable triggers can send even the most composed animal into a frenzy.

For instance, many animals experience anxiety during thunderstorms and fireworks. Animals may cower, hide under the bed, tremble, or exhibit nervous behavior. However, sometimes the response can be disproportionate to the situation or result from an unlikely trigger such as beeping from an electronic device, a hair dryer, or a vacuum cleaner.

Controlled Comforting... Balancing Behavior for Best Effects

As more and more people become pet owners, sometimes disturbances in behavior, such as anxiety around noise, aren't considered before adopting or buying. However, to provide both emotional and physical support for your pet during times of nervousness, it is important to be ready to care for your pet in the best way possible-without exacerbating an existing problem or creating a new one.
