Your dog is a major part of your family, and any changes that happen within the household significantly impact his life. This means that the loss of a loved one, moving to a new home, or even adding an additional pet can be a very big deal to your dog. Because of this, he needs to be supported just as the human members of your family do. When major life changes take place, make an effort to spend some extra time with your dog. Your pet thrives on routine, and anything that throws him off of this will cause him some stress. He needs your reassurance to know that everything is alright, and that he is well loved. You can also help to ease his stress by taking his mind off things for some playtime every now and then. Your local Cameron Park veterinarian can help you care for your pet’s individual needs.
