It is traditional for us to make New Years resolutions for ourselves. What about our pets? Here are some suggestions for 5 popular human resolutions that could benefit your pet!

Reduce Stress – 10% of all people making a resolution include this one. If your dog or cat suffers from stress or reacts badly to new people, car journeys or noise there are some simple non-drug solutions. Adaptil for dogs and Feliway for cats, both calm pets by the use of synthetic pheromones. These are available as plug-in diffusers and sprays and help your pet feel at ease. An alternative is Zylkene, a food supplement which triggers a contented “just fed from mum” sensation. Available for cats and dogs, Zylkene can be used as a short term or a long term treatment. Your local pet store or vet should stock them.
