Behavioural issues in pets

Stress and anxiety can lead to behavioural issues in pets, which they can demonstrate in a variety of ways.

As an owner, it’s never nice to see your dog or cat stressed but you may notice behaviour issues in pets in certain situations which cause stress for our four-legged friends. Pets can show signs of stress and anxiety in a number of ways.

For dogs this includes trembling, whining, destruction of property and sometimes aggression. Cats may spray urine, leave widespread vertical scratch marks on walls and furniture and in severe stress situations react aggressively towards people or other household pets.

If your dog is nervous or stressed easily this can be because of a number reasons, which can make certain situations stressful for pet owners. For example changes in their normal environment or routine can be the reason for a dog or cat to become nervous or stressed.

Both dogs and cats will choose to hide in enclosed safe places like under a bed or in a den. These symptoms can be caused by a number of stress factors such as loud noises, separation anxiety, travel and other stressful situations, such as: vet visits, fireworks, new pets or moving home.
