From Sweet to Spooky: Spotting Behaviour Shifts
Notice your cuddle bug turning grumpy or your playful cat suddenly hiding? Strange shifts can be your pet’s way of saying “something’s up.”
Hidden Reasons Behind the Mood Swings
- Ouch Factor: Pain, dental problems, or skin issues can make pets cranky.
- Golden Oldies: Senior pets may get confused, clingy, or less playful.
- Life Shake-Ups: Moving house, loud noises, or a new family member can throw them off balance.
- Boredom Blues: Too little exercise or playtime often leads to mischief.
- Food Fuss: Tummy troubles or diet changes can affect energy and mood.
Vet Check: The First Step
If the change is sudden or extreme — aggression, hiding, or low energy — book a vet visit. Many medical problems sneak in disguised as “bad behaviour.”
Clues Around the House
Once health issues are ruled out, look for environmental triggers:
- A change in daily routine?
- Less play or walk time?
- New food or treats?
- A noisy neighbourhood or extra visitors?
Easy Fixes for a Happier Pet
- Boost with Supplements: Calm nerves, support joints, or improve skin health.
- Keep Them Busy: Interactive feeders and smart toys fight boredom.
- Rethink the Menu: Premium food tailored to life stage = better mood and energy.
- Zen Zones: Create cozy safe spots and use calming aids when needed.
Pets Have Big Feelings Too
From joy to jitters, pets feel it all. By tuning in and making small changes, you can bring back their happy, tail-wagging selves in no time.
