There are many factors that can contribute to an animal’s anxiety level. Some animals have a genetic disposition towards a nervous nature while others have become anxious due to specific fears that developed from negative past experiences.

In some cases, the pet’s behavior isn’t the result of an underlying fear but related to an illness, hormone imbalance, or nutritional deficiency. If your pet shows signs of anxiety, it’s important to work with your veterinarian to identify the source.

 7 SIGNS YOUR PET COULD HAVE 
ANXIETY OR  UNDERLYING HEALTH ISSUE

• Extreme digestive issues (like diarrhea or vomiting)
• Extreme grooming to the point of hair loss
• Hiding/Isolation
