that dogs are often calmed when you wrap them in some way? So I know that this sounds strange, but what I mean is sort of swaddling them. A nice firm swaddle in a towel will many times work wonders. This method works for cats too, and we've found that in stressful situations like nail clippings, wrapping a cat securely in a towel or a blanket will often settle them right down.
This is not a theory that I am making up. Temple Grandin has written extensively on the subject. She speaks from personal experience.
There is also a product called the Anxiety Wrap which can help animals overcome nervousness, fears, and anxiety issues.
Hey, the way we think is that it is always better to try to solve problems in the least invasive way possible. Let's try wraps, let's try herbs and homeopathy before we subject our animals (and people!) to drugs. It couldn't hurt to try. Right?
