When there is a change in your pet’s routine or environment, do you see changes in their behaviour?

How should I help my pet cope with stress and why?

1. Use a product with calming effects to decrease signs of stress and increase your pet’s ability to learn how to behave appropriately.

2. Manage his/her environment by fostering comforting living conditions and routine while decreasing identified stress factors.
