Imagine this: you’ve packed your belongings for the day, you’re putting on your shoes and you’re headed out for the day. You say your goodbyes to your furry friend and lock the door behind you. You’ve left them alone but, have you ever thought about what they do while you’re gone? We did too! Keep reading to learn more about what pets do when we’re away!
What Do They Do?
So, what are some things our little ones do while we’re away? Well, every furkiddo is unique. Some don’t mind a good long nap while others like to spend their time running zoomies around the house. Some bark or meow at every passerby and some enjoy quietly watching the world around them. In many cases, our sweethearts can get bored or can even face separation anxiety, which is totally normal!
While separation anxiety is super common in pets, it’s still important to try and support your furkiddo through this behavior so that your daily exit is a little easier on both of you. If not addressed, separation anxiety can lead to boredom, depression, obesity, and even destructive behavior.
Separation anxiety is more common in dogs than in cats, with 20-40% of them experiencing separation anxiety at one point or another.
Signs Your Furkid Doesn’t Like Being Left Alone:
Our sweethearts can show they’re in distress in many different ways, including but not limited to:
- Chewing
- Destructive behavior
- Barking/howling
- Excessive meowing
- Pacing
- Hiding
- Accidents in the house
- Reduced appetite
Some Things You Can Do
For Dogs:
- Lesstress is a dietary supplement that can help to naturally promote calmness while reducing hyperactivity and anxiety
- Leave them in a room with a view so that they can see outside to reduce boredom
- Leave clothes out that smell like you as they can bring comfort to your pupper
- Rotate their toys! Making sure they’ve got different toys to play with can help keep them entertained
- Leave a TV/radio on (try and do this only for short trips, to be more eco-friendly and look out for your electricity bill!)
For Cats:
- Matricalm is our dietary supplement that can help to naturally reduce agitation, anxiety, and aggression in cats
- Climbing frames can be helpful in reducing anxiety and boredom because it lets your kitty see the outside world
- Install a bird feeder near the window
- Got a fish tank? Your kitty could spend all day just watching the fish go by!
We can only imagine how weird it must be for our furkids when we leave. Thankfully there are still lots of ways you can support your little one and set them up for success every day! As furparents, our top priority is to make sure our little ones stay as happy as possible, even when we’re not there. Whether your furkid is the type to lounge around all day or bounce off the walls, we know that you love them all the same!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever feel like you need extra support, our team of vets and pet experts are always here to help you with whatever you need! Click here to start!

Holistic Support for Rescued Puppies and Kittens
Giving a rescued pet a second chance at life is a beautiful thing to do! So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
How NHV Supplements Provide A Comprehensive Adopted Puppy Kit and Kitten Kit
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.

A Calming Supplement for Dogs
Dogs can become anxious or aggressive when exposed to other animals or to people they are unfamiliar with. Separation from an owner or a move to a new home can also trigger troubling symptoms including excessive barking, chewing, and inappropriate urination. A calming dog supplement can help your pet through these situations.
How Matricalm Calms Your Dog
Matricalm is formulated with powerful, natural ingredients that will help put your dog at ease. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower, and Hops have non-addictive sedative properties.
Ingredients like Lemon Balm and Valerian are especially helpful in easing anxiety. Your dog will find it easier to behave during times of stress, and may even be more receptive to training.
Use Matricalm to help ease anxiety in your dog, as a supplement for dog aggression, and to help reduce excitability in your pet.

Ingredients like Lemon Balm and Valerian are especially helpful in easing anxiety. Your dog will find it easier to behave during times of stress, and may even be more receptive to training.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
