Changes in routine, travel, visitors, loud noises and unfamiliar environments can be unsettling for some pets. A calm routine and supportive environment can make everyday situations easier to manage.
Create predictable routines
Regular feeding, exercise, rest and quiet time can help pets know what to expect. Where possible, make changes gradually rather than all at once.
Provide a safe resting space
Give your dog or cat access to a comfortable area where they can rest without being disturbed. Cats may prefer raised or enclosed spaces, while dogs may benefit from a familiar bed or quiet room.
Use activity appropriately
Physical exercise, play and enrichment can support general wellbeing, but the right amount depends on the individual pet. Avoid forcing interaction when a pet is trying to retreat or rest.
Complementary calming products
Calming products come in several formats and use different ingredients. Always follow the product label and check that it is intended for your pet’s species and circumstances.

When extra help is needed
Sudden or severe behaviour changes, persistent distress, aggression, loss of appetite or other concerning symptoms should be discussed with a veterinary professional.
