“Without their daily exercise, they have a tendency to get bored, and their pent-up energy will make them destructive—chewing, nibbling on objects, scratching, pacing etc. Some may show stress through shivering and barking,” explains Carpio. Extra cuddles also come highly recommended: Carpio says that giving them some loving attention during this stressful period can help. “Caressing your cat’s fur or brushing your dog’s coat while watching your favorite Netflix series together will help them relax and give them a sense of safety.”
“For hyperactive dogs that need more exercise, establish contacts with facilities/friends/relatives that might be able to provide an exercise area that you and your dog can use,” she says.ecause pets are often attuned to their owners’ moods and emotions, it would be good to manage your own stress levels, too.
Diaz says having another person—whom they are comfortable with—stay with them or check up on them while you are away should help, too. It also means that it’ll be a while before our pets can socialize with their friends, and outdoor activities will probably still be limited as compared to before.The ‘new normal’ for pets and pet parents may mean no large socialization events with other pets and pet parents, and only few carefully planned essential activities outside the home,” says Diaz.
