Plan ahead and be prepared for this Halloween Season!

Our pets can be faced with a great deal of stress, especially around Halloween as there can be a lot of changes to their environment. Loud noises can be a huge trigger for many animals with fireworks being a major part of this. Even smaller things such as moving house, going to the vets or any household changes are all unfamiliar surroundings that can cause stress. It is important to understand that there is not just one easy-fix solution to this and most of the time it can vary from pet to pet, however, there are many great products on the market that could be a great option to help ease this stress.

 

What do calming products do?

The aim of calming is to help relax and settle your pet so that they feel more comfortable in their environment. It is crucial to note that these products should not be used with the idea to sedate your pet, they will simply allow your pet to feel more secure and process the changes around them. We would always advise that you anticipate or plan for these stressful events for your pets. Some calming products can take hours/days/weeks to give the full effect of their relief. This halloween season, anticipate fireworks and plan ahead on how you can help your pet manage this scary time.

 

 

 

Pheromone Products

Pheromone calming products are a much stronger product and are made specific to a species. They release pheromones that would be naturally produced by your pet, to help them calm down in stressful situations. Pheromones are natural chemicals produced by animals to communicate and display behavioral or state of the animal. These products release synthetic pheromones which sooth these chemical messages and allow your pet to feel safe and secure in their new environment.

 

Adaptil and Feliway are two brilliant products which use pheromones to calm your pet and are 20% OFF for the month of October!!

Important to Note

It is important to note that these products are the perfect way to help your pet through stressful and anxious situations. Some prime examples are when staying home alone if they bark, whine, or soil the house, if your dog gets frightened by fireworks or thunderstorms or if your dog shows signs of fear at home or when visitors come into the home.

These products are NOT suitable when a dog’s issues have arisen from improper training (hyperactivity, over-excitement), lack of stimulation, soiling in the house due to lack of toilet training or medical reasons or for any kind of aggression shown towards humans or other dogs. It is strongly recommended to to seek advice from your vet or a dog trainer in any of these instances.
