As advertised in The Listing October Issues – Fear, Anxiety & Phobias in our Pets… 

Pets respond to fear, anxiety or phobia in a variety of different ways. Typical physiological reactions are an increased heart rate, trembling, increased respiratory rates and sweating. It can also be observed that fearful/anxious pets have a tendency to urinating/defecation and emptying their anal glands. Typical behaviour responses include avoiding eye contact, licking the lips, scratching, and turning away. More obvious signs are hiding, a crouched posture, ears are flattened to the head, the tail is tucked under the body (dogs). Generally, it is easier to detect fear in dogs than in cats, but both can suffer from fear and anxiety. Most common fears in dogs and cats are loud noises such as fireworks and thunderstorms, travelling in the car and visits to the vets.
