We know that the holiday
season can make even the most serene person anxious. So…with the holidays right
around the corner, between shopping and holiday parties, pet owners have a lot
on their plate. Did you know this busy time of year can affect your pets too? Did
you know there are natural products available to aid pets in overcoming stress?
Morris Animal Inn is
participating in a product review program to share our experience and
observations of the Sentry Calming Collar on one of our own pups. This collar produces the naturally occurring
pheromones that mother dogs produce to calm and soothe their puppies. There are
no toxic substances in this collar making it even more appealing. The
manufacturer states that this unique collar has been shown to reduce or
eliminate stress-related behavior problems in dogs such as scratching, whining
for attention, fear while separated from owner and many more.

Lexi, anxiously awaiting Joanne's return |
Morris Animal Inn’s Vice
President, Joanne Morris’ rescue, “Lexi” is aynamic Labrador Mix and
perfect to try this new collar. Lexi joined the Morris Family in July 2012
just after being rescued from a high-kill shelter in Kentucky. Lexi is very close with her canine
sister, a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel “Tori” and has bonded with her human
companions quickly. She loves to cuddle and is a very active dog – she recently
ran a 5K and didn’t even break a sweat!
19-month-old Lexi is as sweet
as can be but does experience anxiety when left alone... She is often seen
looking out the window when members of her family leave – even for only a
couple of minutes. Once they are out of site she will resort to digging and
scratching at doors and chewing up items that may have been left around, all
things she would never do when someone is present.
We look forward to providing more
information and “Lexi’s” experience after wearing the Sentry Calming Collar. Lexi is wearing the collar today and it is a pretty light
blue color…stay tuned!
