🧠 Why Do Pets Freak Out?

Noise anxiety is a real thing. It’s not just barking or hiding—it’s a stress response that can trigger shaking, panting, accidents, escape attempts, and even aggression.
It’s more common in:

• Dogs with a fearful personality

• Older pets with cognitive decline

• Cats who didn’t get much early socialization

👉 Here’s how to spot noise anxiety in your pet.

🏡 Build a “Safe Den”

Your pet needs a hideout that’s cozy, quiet, and familiar.
Try this:

• A covered crate or a quiet room with blankets

• White noise machine or a calming playlist (yes, we made one:

  🎧 “Chill Tails: Calming Music for Pets” on Spotify

• Favorite toy or an old t-shirt with your scent

🌿 Try Natural Calming Aids

Some natural remedies to ease stress:

• Adaptil® diffuser (for dogs) or Feliway® (for cats)

• CBD drops made for pets (ask your vet first!)

• Chamomile or valerian-based chews

• Thundershirts or calming wraps

🐾 Training Techniques

Desensitization takes time, but it works!

• Play thunder or fireworks sounds at a low volume

• Reward calm behavior with treats

• Gradually increase volume over weeks

💡Pro Tip: Never comfort anxious behavior with “It’s OK!” like you’re scared too—act calm and confident instead.

💊 When to Talk to a Vet

If your pet’s anxiety turns serious, meds might be needed.
Anti-anxiety medications or short-term sedatives can be prescribed to help during intense events.
