Pets Absorb Your Stress- What Can you Do!

Pets love you unconditionally and will do anything they can

to make you feel good.
Pets absorb your stress and they are affected by the

stresses.

Your loving dog will sit quietly at your feet or curled up on

the couch next to you as you vent your stress. You can cry,

yell, talk on the phone or talk to your dog. She will listen

and feel your emotions. She will also try to vent and release

that stress that she has absorbed. She may appear to be

acting in a disobedient way or revert back to a puppy

behavior. This is her way of getting back into her comfort

zone. When she vents love her and be affectionate with her,

this will help her to release the absorbed stress.

Some pets absorb so much stress from you and from the

rest of the family that they get physically sick. Resolve to try

to reduce your stress levels for the sake of this loving pet

and your best friend. Play with your pet and go for walks

because being alone with your pet will release some of the

absorbed stress that you both have. Your pet will know that

you are her focus and unconditional love interest. She does

not have to get confused by the need to focus on anyone

else. When she feels you have reduced your stress levels

she will physically feel better. Her eating and sleeping

routines will improve and her vulnerability to infections will

decrease.
