Nervousness in dogs and cats

Nervousness in dogs and cats can be caused by various factors, such as stress, separation anxiety, loud noises or changes in their environment. Treatments to calm this nervousness include behavioral, natural and medical solutions. Behavioral approaches, such as progressive socialization, interactive games or relaxation training, are essential to reduce anxiety. Soothing pheromones, available in the form of diffusers or collars, reproduce natural reassuring signals to calm animals. Herbal supplements, such as valerian, chamomile or L-tryptophan, offer a natural alternative without major side effects. In severe cases, the veterinarian may prescribe anxiolytic or sedative medications, always short-term and under supervision. Each treatment must be adapted to the specific needs of the animal and accompanied by careful monitoring to ensure its long-term well-being.
