Manage episode 486997324 series 2467889
Pets also experience mental health challenges ranging from anxiety and chronic stress to depression-like symptoms.
These issues can manifest through behavioural changes like aggression, withdrawal, or compulsive actions.
As awareness grows, more pet owners are beginning to understand that emotional well-being is just as important as physical health, and recognising the signs and seeking proper care can make a life-changing difference for animals, creating safer, calmer, and more supportive homes.
On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Daphne Ang, Emergency & Critical Care and Veterinary Behaviour specialist at Beecroft Animal Specialists & Emergency Hospital, to find out how mental health issues in pets are identified, treated, and why more owners are now recognizing the importance of their pets’ emotional well-being.
