Natural Ways to Calm Your Pets
Dogs
Excessive noise, thunder storms, alarms and fireworks can frighten and scare your dog. But there might be more subtle triggers to their stress such as new family members, visitors or a tense environment at home. Identify what may be triggering the behaviour first to resolve the situation appropriately. If your dog persists, try speaking in soothing tones, stroking and staying close to them or adding a few drops of aromatherapy oils such as chamomile, jasmine or St. John’s Wort to their bath or bed.
Cats
Cats can be calm and collected but they can also suffer from anxiety, depression and distress. Although they are independent, cats still need affection and can find travelling or transportation stressful. Calming herbal remedies such as ginseng, chamomile or lavender can be incorporated into their diet or oils can be applied to their toys, scratching posts or cushions.
Horses
Birds
Domesticated birds in captivity will naturally feel stressed from time to time but plenty of attention and reassurance will help them feel safe, calm and happy. Feed them on a variety of fresh and seeded food and make sure their cage isn’t too exposed to excessive movement and noise. Soothing music, playing, talking and training your parrot or pet bird can help relieve stress too.
