Managing Pet Stress

Pets stressed out this summer? We can help!

Thunderstorms, celebrations, and fireworks… with all the noises, flashes, and traveling, its not hard to understand why our pets seem to be extra stressed around this time of year.

Stress can manifest in many ways for both dogs and cats. Panting, trembling, hiding, and destructive behavior are just a few examples of the many ways our pets show stress. Luckily there are several options available at Chaar to help alleviate some of your pet’s stress.

We carry a variety of both herbal and pheromone based calming aids to help you and your pet enjoy all this time of year has to offer.

Pheromones are a natural secretion your pets give off in order to communicate. They provide your pet with positive or negative information about their environment. By simulating positive pheromones in your home you are able to reassure your pet that the environment is safe. There are a variety of products for both dogs and cats that use drug free odorless vapors that mimic natural pheromones in order to help your pet stay calm during stressful situations.

Comfort Zone Diffusers and Sprays for dogs and cats are a great drug free way to help keep your pets calm and happy. The sprays are quick single doses of the pheromone simulation perfect for short-term isolated usage. The diffusers plug into an outlet and give off a continuous flow of the pheromone allowing for a more long-term solution.

There are also many herbal-based products that are available in chewable tablets or soft chew form that can be used as a daily maintenance or rescue type remedy.

Quiet Moments for both dogs and cats are products from NaturVet that help by introducing calming herbs like Chamomile, Passion flower and Ginger, as well as L-Tryptophan in great tasting soft chews or tablets pets will love.

These easy-to-give all natural remedies are a proven way to manage stress and anxiety. They can be used daily for reasons such as, separation anxiety and general, or simply as needed for traveling or other stressful short-term activities.
