Dogs can suffer from fears and phobias, too, just like humans. Fear is a natural response to a perceived threat or aggression or unfamiliarity with people, animals, or events. When fearful experiences become persistent, dogs may develop a phobia. Some common phobias dogs have are fear of thunderstorms, firecrackers, strange people and places, vet visits, injections, riding the car, or going up and down the stairs. Some dogs also have a phobia of being left alone in the house. Dogs that are overly fearful or anxious tend to drool, pant, whine, whimper, or become extra clingy. Some dogs also exhibit destructive behaviors like growling or chewing household objects. Dogs develop fear and phobia due to their past negative experiences. Lack of early socialization is a contributing factor, as well. Dogs not exposed to various people, animals, places, or events at an early age tend to become more fearful and less confident. To help pet dogs get rid of phobia, consult your veterinarian Lewisville, TX.
