At least one in six dogs and countless numbers of cats are prone to and will exhibit signs of separation anxiety due to an absence of a family member- many times resulting in destructive and unsafe behaviors.
Durham, NC (PRWEB) August 19, 2013
For many families, the arrival of fall means getting back into the routines of school, college and extra curricular activities. Just like people, pets also have to make adjustments for the back to school season, as they are left at home without human for longer periods of time while kids are off to school. This “empty nest” feeling can leave both dogs and cats feeling lonely, depressed and displaying signs of separation anxiety.
“As a family’s schedule becomes busier, allowing for less interaction with their dogs and cats, it can leave a void in the pet’s lifestyle,” explains Phil Blizzard, founder of ThunderShirt. “At least one in six dogs and countless numbers of cats are prone to and will exhibit signs of separation anxiety due to an absence of a family member-many times resulting in destructive and unsafe behaviors.”
Should your dog or cat display signs of separation anxiety, ThunderShirt provides a simple and easy to use solution. Since 2009, ThunderShirt has been reducing anxiety among hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats around the world. With its patented design, ThunderShirt’s gentle, constant pressure has a dramatic calming effect for dogs and cats if they are anxious or fearful. Anxiety experts believe that pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system and may release calming hormones like endorphins or oxytocins.
