During thunderstorms and big rainstorms, it’s common for some canines to become anxious, shivering, panting or even barking. You can ease your pooch’s preoccupations with a dog Thundershirt. These anxiety-relieving shirts apply a constant amount of pressure to your dog, which is shown to create a calming effect on dogs. Many users rave about the dramatic difference the Thundershirt makes in their dogs’ anxiety during storms, fear during travel or new situations or even their over-excitement.
For whatever reason, it’s not that unusual to see a dog trying to eat its own poop. Feed your dog a coprophagia deterrent chew – these chews make stools taste bad, thus preventing the desire and interest of the feces. If your dog seems abnormally interested in consuming other animals’ stools, it may be time to take him/her to a vet – some instances of coprophagia are because of medical issues.
If your dog’s a yapper and the incessant barks are becoming a nuisance to you, your neighbors, or both – think about a bark deterring behavioral aid. Our SpraySense anti-bark collars are a long-lasting and safe way to deter barking. The anti-bark collars emit an aroma of citronella, an unpleasant smell to dogs (but virtually undetectable to humans) that interrupts their barking.
Many canines get shy in new situations, or show fear when exposed to new environments; you can’t always protect your dog from new encounters, but you can help them feel more at ease. Our anxiety relief aids vary from calming chews and yummy lickable gels to Thundershirts and more. Help make the stress more manageable by getting some of these stress-relieving solutions online at Pet Health Market.
