As we make this transition, here are some tips on how you can support your stressed pets during Covid and prevent them from becoming anxious.
As we plan on heading back to the office, all pet parents can think about is what we are going to do with our fur kids! Are they going to be okay alone again, after long periods of constant cuddles, and oodles of attention? As we make this transition, here are some tips on how you can support your pets and prevent them from becoming anxious and stressed as things change once more.
Tips for Dogs and Cats Staying Home Alone: Controlling Our Own Anxiety
For some pets, regular routines and some alone time are normal, so having that change to the sudden reality of 24/7 pet parent company at home could have been confusing. Now, going back again to “normal” might create some anxiety and an increase in stress levels for you and your furkiddo.
To make matters worse, many of us humans are incredibly stressed right now. We’re worried about our health and that of our loved ones during the pandemic. While we may think we’re handling all that well, our pets will recognize our tension and anxiety — and may make it their own.
“You might think you’re internalizing everything, but what we know from studies on both humans and animals is that we are not. There are physical manifestations that are probably even more obvious to our dogs and cats than ourselves,” said Dr. Dana Varble, the chief veterinary officer for the North American Veterinary Community.
So take some deep breaths, practice mindfulness.
How Can I Tell If My Pet Is Stressed?
Every pet is different, so not every sign will apply to every dog or cat. Just like humans, pets will have different and unique thresholds for stress.
Stressed dogs can startle, jumping at the slightest sound or movement. Some shake and shiver, vocalize excessively or drool. They can use self-calming techniques, such as yawning, lip licking, excessive grooming, or spinning.
Oddly, tense and upset dogs can also look depressed, showing a lack of appetite or energy. At times they can get diarrhea or urinate or defecate more often. And, of course, dogs can become uncharacteristically aggressive, snapping or growling.
Cats, on the other hand, are more difficult to read. The signs are subtle, such as overgrooming, increased vocalization, lack of appetite, hiding or acting standoffish, and suddenly ignoring their litter box.
While you should always check with your vet to make sure there’s no urinary infection, stress itself can cause significant problems.
How Can I Calm My Pets Down?
There are a few different ways you can try to calm down your pet and reduce their stress and anxiety for when you go back to the office. Here are a few tips:
Routine. The main solution is to stick to a regular regimen, just as you would with a young child. Getting up simultaneously, taking them for walks at their regular hours, feeding them at the same time as before, etc.
Use pet gates and crates. If a dog is crate trained, it can be very soothing for them to go back to their own special place. The use of baby and pet gates or barriers can also help keep pets in their own little zone.
Keep grooming and playing. Dogs need regular exercise and playtime with their owners. If you’re suddenly sitting on your couch all day instead, you’ll soon see the signs of distress in your pet. Cats, too, need daily play that mimics what they would do in the wild. Playing with toys such as feather spinners and puzzles that contain treats can energize cats and keep them happy. Hopefully, grooming is part of your regular routine as good health care for your dog or cat. When it comes to calming them down, if your cat likes to be brushed, that’s often a winner.
Check your litter box etiquette. Most cat owners already know they need to keep the litter boxes sparkling clean by scooping often. However, cats are susceptible to the type of litter (most like sandy or clay-based) and scent (they prefer no scent). The litter box should be big enough for the cat to turn around in — bigger is better — and there should be a litter box on every level of your home. The suggestion is to always have one more litter box than the total number of cats in the home. It’s also a good idea not to have a covering on a litter box, especially in multi-cat households, as cats feel most vulnerable while urinating or defecating.
Use positive, not negative reinforcement. Having a dog rip up clothing or paper or your cat starting to scratch the couch or either species offering a sudden “gift” of pee or poop may seem like a personal affront, but you should never take it personally. Your furkiddos may be experiencing severe anxiety, which results in these fear-based or anxiety-based behaviors. But it’s not some form of retribution against the owners. It’s because they’re experiencing a really heightened emotional state.
Positive reinforcement, such as providing treats when the cat does go in the litter box or the dog poops outside, is the best way to solve behavior problems.
Lesstress and Matricalm. They will naturally help keep your furkiddo calm and reduce anxiety. We recommend starting to give the supplements one to two weeks before you go back to the office so that their body has time to adjust.
We all know how delicate this moment is and as pet parents (and experts), we are here for you! These are just a few ways to help ease this transition back to the new normal, but please send us a message, and we will help you with any other questions to support your furkiddos and pet parents all over the world.

Holistic Support and Pet Supplements for the Holidays
'Tis the season you say! Of course, the holidays are a time to celebrate, but with family dinners and get-togethers just around the corner, changes in your pet's daily routine can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. Hanging wires or seasonal decorations can entice your pet's curiosity, and they may gobble up something they weren't supposed to from the kitchen! Bringing home new plants like belladonna, mistletoe, or holly may be toxic to your pets, and may cause an upset tummy resulting in diarrhea from a few casual nibbles. We recommend creating safe spaces for your little one to relax, play and retreat to when the festivities become too much for them. If you're low on space, just opening up a few closets or having a few boxes with blankets or soft bedding inside will do wonders for your pet's mental wellbeing. For added support, we recommend our Holiday Essentials Kit that contains Matricalm (natural stress relief), Plantaeris (diarrhea support) and Yucca (anti-inflammatory and appetite support).
How the NHV Holiday Essentials Kit Supports A Relaxed Pet
With the new faces and changes, your dog, cat or pet’s heart rate and blood pressure may increase, and they may become irritated, excitable, and stressed. These symptoms may cause digestive upset and aggressive behavior. Matricalm contains five calming herbs that may help relax the nervous system, improve digestion and discourage aggressive or anxious behavior.
Dogs and cats of all ages can have very sensitive GI tracts (especially our feline friends), so if they accidentally munch on mistletoe, an ornament, chocolate or an edible arrangement, they will likely get an upset tummy and possibly diarrhea. Plantaeris is a gentle, fast-acting diarrhea remedy that contains herbs like barberry and mullein which help to relax muscle cramping and encourage digestion. Some foods, like chocolate, and plants can be toxic, please see an emergency vet right away if your pet has ingested toxic foods/plants.
Yucca is a nutritive superfood (rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein) and contains beneficial properties that help support the absorption of nutrients. Yucca also helps with overall digestive discomfort, and can even help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some pets.

MATRICALM
Help reduce aggression and anxiety in your pet with Matricalm, a natural herbal product designed to help reduce excitability in your pet. Pets can become anxious or aggressive when exposed to other animals or to people they are unfamiliar with. Separation from an owner or a move to a new home can also trigger troubling symptoms of anxiety
TARGET SPRAY
Safely rid your pet of insects and their eggs. Target Spray helps your pet rid itself of fleas, ticks, lice, and mosquitoes. Its soothing herbal formulation keeps insects away and calms skin irritated by the inevitable scratching bugs cause. Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that feed on your pet’s body by sucking blood. They can transmit disease, cause skin allergies, anemia, and generally irritate your pet. Many pets are allergic to flea saliva, which causes them to lick, chew, scratch, and rub the irritated area. This can often result in hair loss and secondary infections.
HEAL CARE OINTMENT
Many pets are busy animals prone to paw or skin injuries including bruising, sprains, cuts, wounds, burns and infections. Signs of injury are easy to spot and include obvious discomfort, limping, red and swollen pads, and a general reluctance to walk or run. Heal Care Ointment is a topical ointment designed to soothe and heal injured paws and skin.

Description
MATRICALM
Help reduce aggression and anxiety in your pet with Matricalm, a natural herbal product designed to help reduce excitability in your pet. Pets can become anxious or aggressive when exposed to other animals or to people they are unfamiliar with. Separation from an owner or a move to a new home can also trigger troubling symptoms of anxiety
TARGET SPRAY
Safely rid your pet of insects and their eggs. Target Spray helps your pet rid itself of fleas, ticks, lice, and mosquitoes. Its soothing herbal formulation keeps insects away and calms skin irritated by the inevitable scratching bugs cause. Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that feed on your pet’s body by sucking blood. They can transmit disease, cause skin allergies, anemia, and generally irritate your pet. Many pets are allergic to flea saliva, which causes them to lick, chew, scratch, and rub the irritated area. This can often result in hair loss and secondary infections.
HEAL CARE OINTMENT
Many pets are busy animals prone to paw or skin injuries including bruising, sprains, cuts, wounds, burns and infections. Signs of injury are easy to spot and include obvious discomfort, limping, red and swollen pads, and a general reluctance to walk or run. Heal Care Ointment is a topical ointment designed to soothe and heal injured paws and skin.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
