Much of the time, however, it\u2019s up to us to interpret their behaviors. Common signs a pet is experiencing anxiety include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urinating or defecating indoors (dogs) or outside the litter box <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unusual clinginess<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden aggression<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barking, whining, or yowling more than usual<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive panting\/drooling<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trying to escape out doors, windows, fencing, etc.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digging<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Destructive behavior<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting stuck in small spaces<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Causes of Pet Anxiety<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Separation anxiety<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Separation anxiety takes many forms. Pets may be struggling with being left home alone all day while the family is at work, or they\u2019re mourning the loss of playmates when the kids head back to school in the fall. Make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise each day and special one-on-one time when you get home. Provide as many opportunities for enrichment as possible while you\u2019re away, such as food puzzles and sturdy chew toys. Also consider doggie daycare or a dog walking service to break up the monotony of their days.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Loud noises<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 With its thunderstorms and fireworks displays, summer can be a difficult time for anxious pets. Set up a \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/keeping-pets-safe-during-emergencies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">safe space<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d for your pet in a quiet bedroom; include their bedding, toys, water, and a fan, radio, or TV for background noise. If you know there will be a noisy event, try wearing your pet out beforehand with a long walk, game of fetch, or other activity.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Life changes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Pets, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/the-cats-meow-cat-health-and-preventive-care\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">especially cats<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, are creatures of habit and can be greatly disturbed by changes in the household. A recent move, the addition of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/adopting-a-shelter-pet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a new pet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or even rearranging the furniture can trigger anxiety in some animals. Strive to keep their routine as close to normal as possible during times of upheaval, and make changes as slowly as you can. Keep in mind that multi-cat households should have one litter box per cat, plus one extra.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve determined the cause of your pet\u2019s anxiety, you can make changes to provide them some relief.
