Just like humans, pets can experience anxiety and fear—and when they do, it shows. Whether it’s trembling during thunderstorms, hiding from guests, or growling during a vet visit, anxiety in pets is more common than most people realise. That’s why timely Pet Anxiety Treatment is essential to help them feel safe, calm, and cared for. At Dr. Synghal’s Pet Care, we’ve spent over 30 years helping pet parents understand and treat anxiety in dogs, cats, and other companion animals. If your pet is acting out of character, there may be more going on than just “bad behaviour.” Let’s walk you through how we help pets overcome fear—and how you can support them at home. 🔎 What Does Pet Anxiety Look Like? Not all signs of anxiety are loud or obvious. Many pets suffer silently. Keep an eye out for: If your pet regularly shows these signs—especially around certain triggers like loud noises, car rides, strangers, or being left alone—it’s time for a check-up. 🏥 Pet Anxiety Treatment Plans at Dr. Synghal’s Clinic We approach every anxious pet with calm, care, and a step-by-step plan. Here’s how: 1️⃣ Initial Assessment We begin with a thorough medical exam to rule out pain, illness, or neurological causes. Anxiety can sometimes mask deeper health issues. Next, we talk to you—the pet parent—to understand your pet’s routine, triggers, past trauma (if known), and any recent changes at home. We also observe your pet in a relaxed setting. Our clinic is designed to be stress-minimising, with quiet zones and gentle handling. 2️⃣ Tailored Treatment Plan Every pet is unique—so is their anxiety. Based on the assessment, we create a customised plan, which may include: 3️⃣ Treatment Options We Use We use a multi-modal approach, often combining the following: ✅ Behavioural therapy Positive reinforcement to reframe fear triggers. This can be done by trained professionals or guided by us at home. ✅ Natural remedies & homeopathy We offer safe, vet-approved calming solutions such as Bach flower remedies, homeopathic drops, and herbal diffusers for mild cases. ✅ Prescription medications In severe cases, we may prescribe short-term anti-anxiety meds—especially when pets are at risk of self-harm or aggression. ✅ Environmental enrichment We guide you on how to create safe zones, use toys for distraction, or introduce calming music and pheromone sprays. 🏡 What You Can Do at Home Your role is just as important. Here are ways to help your pet feel more secure: ✔️ Do’s ❌ Don’ts Special Tip for Indian Pet Parents: During Diwali or weddings, use soundproof rooms, calming sprays, or even a calming vest. Early preparation goes a long way. 🐶 Case in Point: Coco the Shih Tzu Coco, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu, was brought to us for aggression during grooming. On assessment, we found her fear stemmed from a past injury and loud clipper noise. With a combination of desensitisation therapy, homeopathic support, and short grooming sessions, Coco now walks in wagging her tail. Her parent couldn’t believe the change! 💬 Final Thoughts Pet anxiety is not just a phase—it’s a genuine condition that needs understanding and care. With early intervention and the right support, most pets show amazing improvement in just a few weeks. At Dr. Synghal’s PetCare, we believe in fear-free veterinary care.
