Call us for pet care from a “veterinarian near me” at our animal hospital.

How Can I Tell if My Pet Has Anxiety?

Even though pets can't express when they're experiencing anxiety, they provide clues that can give you a glimpse into what's going on inside their brains. When a pet exhibits new, unusual behavior, it's often a sign that there's an issue with your pet.

Signs of anxiety in pets can include:

●             Changes in bathroom habits (such as a cat urinating outside of the litter box)

●             Excessive whining or barking

●             Changes in appetite

●             Destructive behavior (such as chewing or clawing at furniture)

Helping Your Anxious Pet

Sometimes, making simple changes, helping your pet get some energy out with a longer walk before you leave for the day, can help alleviate your pet's anxiety. If you're finding that your pet's anxiety is continuing to get worse despite making changes that should help, it may be a good idea to reach out to a veterinarian. A vet at our veterinary hospital may have other suggestions for helping your pet with his anxiety and will talk with you about whether medication is the right fit for your animal.
