Do you have an anxious kitty? At Pet Circle we stock a wide range of mild cat anxiety treatments to help keep your cat calm and relaxed in your home. Cat anxiety treatments can have a range of potential benefits that improve your pet's quality of life. This includes preventing destructive behaviours like scratching furniture as well as reducing the chances of chronic anxiety that can lead to physical health issues such as urinary tract disease and digestive upset.
Anti-anxiety supplements are available that contain tryptophan, a serotonin precursor which helps produce feelings of calm as well as cat pheromone sprays and diffusers, which emit feline appeasing pheromone. Pheromone products made by Feliway can be very successful and are heavily used and recommended by veterinarians. Cat anxiety wraps can also be useful for cats during periods of intense stress, such as during thunderstorms or when travelling.
As always, it's crucial to consult with a vet to ensure that the chosen products are suitable and effective for the individual cat.
Anxiety is a common problem with domesticated cats and it's sometimes difficult to tell what the source of the stress is. Common causes include the introduction of a new family member or pet, a visit to the vet or cattery, a neighbourhood cat nearby, or change of environment such as moving house.
Signs of stress or anxiety in your cat include spraying urine, vocalising, decreased appetite, scratching the furniture, over-grooming, redirected aggression, or the development of urinary problems. It is important to consult with your vet to rule out any underlying medical causes that may mimic these symptoms.
