earsdownAs humans, we sometimes forget (or ignore) the fact that animals have emotions and moods just like we do.

Each animal has his or her own personality and temperament. They react to people, animals, environment, and situations with a diverse range of emotions. These include joy, affection, pain, anger, fear, jealousy, depression, grief, and shame.

Animals undergo stress in their daily lives, also. A few examples include visitors to the house, trips to the vet or groomer,  new additions to the family, or just being left behind when everyone goes to work or school.

An animal's behavior may be an indication that they are experiencing difficulty with their surroundings or a physical illness. Their behavior may be self-destructive, fearful or aggressive. Treatment often includes tranquilizers or anti-depressants, or worse yet, the emotional state and behavior are ignored or punished.

Countrycare Animal Complex's philosophy of complete care includes addressing the emotional and mental needs of your animal, not just the physical needs. 

We offer many natural solutions to help with your animal's general disposition, moods, and emotions naturally. Remember that the mental and emotional state  in animals (& people) can also lead to physical sickness and disease. Sometimes a pet's emotional issue is so intense that medication is necessary to help. We can help with that option, too.
