How to Identify and Manage Anxiety in Dogs | PetSmart Veterinary Services

Is your dog showing signs of stress or acting out when you're away? In this video, PetSmart Veterinary Services explains how to recognize common signs of anxiety in dogs and offers tips to help reduce stress at home. You’ll learn what to look for, including tucked tails, pulled-back ears, drooling, accidents in the house, and signs of separation anxiety. This video also shares techniques to help desensitize your dog to departure cues like jingling keys or grabbing your bag so they don't associate those actions with being left alone. In addition to behavior training, your veterinarian may recommend medications or calming tools like diffusers to support more anxious dogs. This guide provides a balanced approach to identifying and managing canine anxiety in a safe, supportive way.
