Episode 31 – Fears, Phobias and Anxiety

So many of our pets struggle with anxiety or specific fears and phobias.

But how can we tell if this is just a normal and adaptive response to the pet’s environment or if they are “abnormal” or maladaptive responses that need treatment?

What you will learn in this episode:

1. The definitions, differences and similarities between fear, phobia, and anxiety.

2. How to tell if this is an adaptive or maladaptive response to the pet’s internal or external environment.

3. What causes and contributes to these presentations?

4. How you can help your pet or patient if you suspect they may have an anxiety disorder or are suffering form fears and phobias.

There is so much in this episode and will set listeners up for following episodes that diver deeper into specific presentations such as separation anxiety and noise phobias.

We really hope you enjoy this episode; it is packed with so much information!
