However pets suffer with anxiety all year round. Whether this is due to travelling, meeting new people, going to the vets, fears of loud noises, the hoover, living in a stressful environment...the list goes on!
FELIWAY has been around for over 20 years helping cats cope with anxiety but there are still many that are not aware about what can be done and what products can be used. We want to raise awareness all about these issues and highlight that there is something you can do to help your pet.

Pet Anxiety Awareness Month - Help your cat
Professional help
Helping your cat cope with their anxiety is not always a simple fix. It can be really beneficial to understand further why your cat has started behaving in a certain way. If you understand this, you maybe able to make environmental adjustments to help. This can be as simple as introducing an additional scratching post or even moving it to an area they prefer to scratch in.
We would always advise either visiting the APBC or the ABTC to find a list of regulated professionals to help you on your journey. If you are ever concerned about your cat please also visit your vet, some behavioural issues can be down to a health issue, they will be able to help you eliminate any potential causes.
Also...Do not give up!! You will have good and bad days, the important things is to keep going.
