An Easy, Natural Help for Anxious Cats & Dogs

Many times when clients hire me it’s because their cat or dog is anxious, restless, or reactive. There are many reasons that dogs and cats can get this way, including

*illness or injury,

*changes to their home or environment,

*their senses getting duller as they age,

*being understimulated or underexercised,

*their belief that it’s their job to take care of you so they become hyper aware

*mirroring their humans’ anxiety,

*and more.

But whatever the cause, an easy and natural fix for cats and dogs is to diffuse pheromones, a chemical that’s specific to their species. Pheromones help calm dogs and cats by giving them a chemical message that everything in the environment is safe.

As predators, cats and dogs lead with their sense of smell, and diffusing pheromones, whether it’s in spray or plugin form or on a collar, sends their brain the reassurance that all is well. As predators age, their senses of sight or hearing may weaken, but their sense of smell rarely does. So using pheromones goes through their sharp olfactory senses straight to to the brain to give effective results quickly. You can purchase pheromones at your local pet store or online. Try them today to help naturally relax your cat or dog.
