🐾 Signs Your Pet Might Be Stressed—And What You Can Do About It
If only pets could talk, right? Well… they do. Just not in words.
Whether it’s your dog hiding under the bed every time the hoover comes out, or your cat glaring at you like you've ruined their entire week by rearranging the furniture—chances are, they’re trying to tell you something.
Stress in pets is real, and just like us humans, it can affect their mood, health, and behaviour. But don’t worry! At Pet Remedies, we’re all about keeping your furry family members happy, healthy, and mellow.
(I was gonna make a pun like "meow-llow" but I was advised against it)
Let’s sniff out the signs of stress and what you can do to help —without breaking the bank or using harsh chemicals.
