Pet Behavior Management Tips

Calm Fido's Nerves

Does Fido have a hard time sitting still? We all know what it feels like to be anxious and overly worked up—it's no picnic. If your dog becomes antsy and excited on a regular basis he may have a condition that needs attention. A pet behavior problem is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. Contact a vet immediately and have your pet examined.

Acepromazine maleate is a phenothiazine tranquilizer that is often helpful in soothing a dog with a behavior problem. This medication decreases anxiety and causes both the blood pressure and heart rate to lower. Acepromazine blocks the control of some blood vessels, and aids in getting more blood flow to certain areas of the body.

Does your dog go into frenzy or a depression when you leave the house? Let's face it, our pets enjoy our company and don't want to be left alone. As a result, a dog that is left home alone often is at the risk of developing behavior problems. Some of these problems include:

• Using the restroom in the house
• Moping

What can you do to better the situation? Talk to your vet about treatment options. Clomicalm Tablets have been proven to be quite effective in treating this condition.

Stop Defiant Urination

When you come home are you often greeted with the smell of cat urine rather than a happy kitty? Cats that are extremely stressed have a tendency to get the message across by spraying or urinating in places other than the litter box. Unwanted urination can be one of the most frustrating of bad pet behaviors. This disgusting habit can lead to the destruction of both furniture and carpets. Have no fear, however, there's hope for that cat yet!

It's been proven that the main reason why cats urinate in places other than the litter box is because they are stressed out. It's a great idea to invest in a Comfort Zone Plug-in with Feliway. This Plug-in contains a formula that mimics the smell of the feline facial pheromone. You can best utilize these plug-ins by placing them in the area that the cat frequents the most. The scent will calm and soothe your feline and provide a sense of reassurance—this will aid in putting an end to behavioral problems.
