Isolation – you are not alone!

As we focus on how Covid-19 has impacted our own lives we may have forgotten the impact it can have on our four legged family members. Just a few weeks ago their everyday life looked very different from how it does today. This change in routine can dramatically change them emotionally just as it can us. Are we more stressed, anxious concerned about the unknown. Our pets can also feel these emotionally charged feelings which can lead to unsettled behaviour. It is important during this time to try to stick to some of our regular routines for meals, quiet time and activities. The time will come when we begin to resume our regular routines for work, sporting activities, hectic schedules. We want to make the transition for our pets as stress & anxiety free as possible. After all, we all look forward to returning to our ‘normal’ lives but lets not forget who else’s lives will be affected in the process.
