Anxiety and Stress In Dogs

In this episode of On Dog Terms, MJ and Sam tackle a common but often misunderstood topic: the difference between stress and anxiety in dogs. While these two terms are often used interchangeably, they’re not the same—and knowing the difference can make a huge impact on your dog’s well-being. We’ll take a deep dive into the common stressors in your dog’s life and how you can help lighten their load. From chaotic home environments to inconsistent routines, many aspects of everyday life can be overwhelming for your dog—but the good news is, you have the power to make a difference. We’ll guide you through identifying the most common sources of stress for dogs and how to identify what is stress and when we cross the line into anxiety. Then, we’ll share actionable strategies to remove or reduce these stressors, creating a calmer and more predictable environment where your dog can thrive. If you’re ready to help your dog feel more at ease and improve their overall well-being, this episode is packed with practical tips to make life better for both of you.
