How To Recognize Stress In Your Pet (And What To Do About It)

Increased Shedding

Stress can lead to increased shedding in pets, as anxiety and tension can affect their coat health. This is particularly noticeable in dogs and cats during times of stress, such as moving to a new home or changes in their routine. Regular grooming can help manage shedding and provide comfort to your pet. Use gentle brushes and soothing techniques to reduce anxiety during grooming sessions. Additionally, ensure your pet's diet is balanced and rich in nutrients that support coat health. If excessive shedding persists, consult a veterinarian to rule out underlying health issues and explore additional stress-reduction strategies.
