When it comes to strange sights and smells, thousands of dogs struggle with anxiety.
Thunderstorms, fireworks, loud veterinarian clinics, traveling in the car, and so much
more can trigger feelings of anxiousness in dogs. Then there are everyday
occurrences, like being left alone and coming nose to nose with other dogs and new
people.
In fact, according to Medical News Today, 70% of dogs have anxiety.
However, many pet owners are (understandably) worried about putting their pooches
on anti-anxiety medications due to potential side effects.
Luckily, there are all-natural solutions for dog anxiety!
