| | | How to Spot Stress in Your Dog (and Help Them Chill Out) | Dogs, like us, can experience stress. Whether it's due to new situations, past experiences, or changes in routine, your dog may show signs of stress that need attention. Recognizing these signs early can help prevent more serious issues, like health problems or behavioral changes. By understanding your dog's stress signals, you can offer support and help them feel more at ease. | Stress in dogs can be triggered by many things—fearful vet visits, unfamiliar noises, or even separation anxiety. These stresses can lead to behavioral changes, so it's important to recognize when your dog is anxious. | Signs that a dog is stressed include pacing, shaking, drooling, hiding, lip licking, excessive yawning, and showing "whale eyes" (the whites of their eyes). Behavioral signs can include excessive barking, whining, and avoiding eye contact. Stress can also lead to compulsive behaviors like chewing or licking. | When your dog is stressed, creating a calm space for them to retreat to is key. Keep them away from triggers, and try calming techniques like anxiety wraps, pheromone sprays, or regular exercise. | If your dog's stress turns into aggression or causes health issues, it's time to consult your vet. They can help you make a plan to manage your dog's anxiety and get them back to feeling relaxed. | By learning to spot and manage your dog's stress, you'll help them stay happy and healthy! |

| | Thank you to Money.com for sponsoring Daily Dig. | | NYC Bans Sale of Dogs and Cats in Stores | In a win for animal welfare, the New York City Council has passed a bill that bans the sale of dogs and cats in retail pet shops. | The new law aims to crack down on the inhumane puppy mill industry, where animals are bred in poor conditions and sold for profit. With this bill, pet stores will need a permit to sell animals, ensuring stricter oversight. It's a major step toward aligning the city with the state's upcoming Puppy Mill Pipeline Act, which kicks in December 2024. | This move puts NYC in line with other states, like California, which passed similar laws years ago. The bill was supported by local animal advocates and organizations like the ASPCA, who have long fought to end puppy mills. | The new law also highlights the hidden truth behind the cute puppies and kittens often found in pet store windows—the dark reality of poor breeding practices, neglected animals, and the financial burden on unsuspecting pet owners. | With this historic vote, NYC is set to make a significant change in how pets are bred, sold, and treated. |
