Establishing and maintaining a pet’s daily routine is one of the best things you can do for their mental and physical health. The ability to anticipate the timing of certain events like bathroom breaks, meals, or walks gives them stability and confidence, and helps to build trust at home. Sometimes a pet’s profound attachment to their owner, combined with unsettling solitude, can lead to separation anxiety. Dealing with separation anxiety in pets can be challenging, but there are special strategies to soothe a pet’s symptoms.

Cats tend to receive far less veterinary care than other household animals. Travel is a big stressor for many cats, and when a cat is stressed, their owner is stressed, too. The intense fear and anxiety related to traveling directly impacts routine care, as owners opt out of wellness visits (especially if cats appear and behave normally). With a little bit of effort, you can reduce your cat’s anxiety so he can get the veterinary care he needs.
