Stress as an emotion expressed by animals as well, although in ways we may not be so familiar with. Stress is the reaction to certain unwanted outward stimuli. It may be due to traveling, change of location, change of atmosphere and so on. However, stress may also be due to certain ailments and disease process, certain emotional/physical trauma, or it may be due to certain normal physiological conditions such as pregnancy/lactation etc. Let us understand this better:
A GAME OF STRESS: 10 REASONS WHY STRESS IS A MESS

1. Travelling.

Although you may love traveling and exploring the unexplored, this particular expedition may not fare well with your pets. Pets are highly sensitive to change in localities and areas. One of the reasons may be that pets such as dogs are territorial animals. They like protecting and guarding their regions. A sudden change in environment may affect them mentally as it takes time to acclimatise to the new atmosphere.

Here's what you can do

  • Make your pet comfortable with the idea of travelling by introducing them to your car/mode of transport prior to the journey, allowing them to explore car seats, etc.
  • Travel shorter distances before undertaking longer journeys.
  • Carry water and feed bowls.
  • Water should be freely available.
  • A fitness certificate by your vet is a must prior to undertaking any journeys. Vaccination schedule must be up to date.
  • Carry all prescription medicines along with your pet’s health file.

2. MOVING HOUSES.

On similar grounds as travelling, any sudden change can affect your pets and therefore it is advisable to make your pets more comfortable prior to any shifting/moving houses scheduled plans.

3. INTRODUCING NEW PETS.

Every pet is different and unique, with their own little quirks, likes and dislikes. Thinking of bringing home new pets? Stop and think twice. Some pets are commonly ok with new pets being added nearly immediately. Where as some pets is not-so-okay with the whole scenario. Some take time to gel and open up. You know your pet quite well, hence, before adopting another furry paw, ensure that pet is okay.
