In recent years, since Covid, we in the pet care industry, have noticed a big increase in the number of dogs struggling with anxieties such as social, separation, and generalized anxiety. Since then, we have tried to learn as much as we could about anxiety and anxiousness in dogs and continue to follow recommendations and teachings from well respected veterinarians, behaviorists, and trainers in the treatments available. We understand that every pet is unique and requires a specialized approach and specialized care, especially those with anxiety. What works with one dog, may not work with the next. One size does not fit all!
At our facility, we have a team of trained and compassionate staff who have dealt with numerous pets with various degrees of anxieties over the years. Many times, merely building the confidence of anxious dogs with positive experiences and positive reinforcement can alleviate some or most anxiousness. We are well-equipped to handle these situations and can provide a safe and comfortable stay for your pet. We can also collaborate with your Veterinary care team to work out if, and what, medications may be helpful if the anxieties are that debilitating or hold your pet back from comfort, trust, and relaxation. Our team is thoughtful and considerate in their approach, ensuring that every pet receives individualized attention and care with the ultimate goal of eventually reducing or discontinuing the need for medication while boarding.
