They are the underlying cause of many concerning behaviors such as excessive barking, aggression, destructive behaviors, and house-soiling. They are also the source for deterioration of the human-animal bond, and can make a trip to the veterinarian, pet groomer, or boarding facility miserable for pet and owner alike. Left untreated, these negative experiences can lead to devastating consequences and permanent damage. Unfortunately, many well-meaning owners misinterpret or overlook the often subtle signs of emotional injury and turmoil, or think that the pet will simply outgrow it. This leads to unnecessary trauma and suffering. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCommon FAS triggers include: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTrips to the veterinarian (even for routine services such as vaccinations and nail trims) \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBath time, brushing, or cleaning ears.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLoud noises; thunderstorms; fireworks; the vacuum cleaner; construction; gunshots; or even buzzers on appliances. \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLess-familiar people or animals encountered on walks or near the home.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBeing left alone during work hours or even for short errands.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTravel, including car rides. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFinally, there's help. \u003ci\u003eFrom Fearful to Fear Free\u003c\/i\u003e is based on the groundbreaking Fear Free program embraced by tens of thousands of veterinary healthcare professionals and hundreds of thousands of pet owners (fearfreepets.com and fearfreehappyhomes.com).
