Stress and trauma can manifest in many ways. With rescue pets, it’s hard to always know their history. They can’t tell us everything they have been through. Maybe they suffered abuse or neglect from an owner, or maybe they got separated from their families during stressful events such as a hurricane or a wildfire, or a car accident, or maybe the only life they have ever known is life on the streets. All we want is to help them rebuild their faith and confidence in the world.
Stress is not always a negative thing, as it is part of everyday life and can sometimes even help protect us from dangerous situations. Our animal companions can be thrown into a state of extreme stress over a variety of different experiences. When bringing home a rescue dog or a rescue cat we have to remember not to judge their personalities and label them anxious or aggressive. We also have to remember to be patient, even though it is the state of mind, the whole body is affected and we have to help them cope with it.
Bringing home a pet with trauma can be a frightening and tense situation. They may need time to adjust to their new surroundings. They are safe now but they may still be dealing with trauma from the past. Here are some of the things you may recognize in a furkid with trauma:
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Lack of appetite
• Trauma-driven fear
• Finding places to hide
• Aggression
• Pacing
• Excessive vocalization (whining, barking, meowing)
• Heavy panting
• Trembling
• Housebreaking issues
It’s important to remember that trauma has a very deep impact. it will take some work to recognize and minimize the stress triggers for your new fur baby. In the process of bringing home a pet with trauma, your NHV Pet Experts are here to help our fur babies heal.
Juno here was rescued from the streets by his dog mom in the Philippines. He had mange and needed lots of extra medical attention before becoming healthy and social.
Tips to reduce stress and trauma in your rescue pet
First few days
• Give them space and time to decompress. Even something like an anxiety shirt or a security blanket, or having their own ‘spot’ in the house can help them feel safe and secure. A porcelain tub or a dry and dark spot in a ventilated closet also helps.
• Approach with calm and confident energy. Our fur kids pick up on our mood too. Leading by example helps us build a bond with our fur kids. Take 5 minutes to relax and normalize your breathing before you approach them. If you are stressed while handling them, they will stress out too.
• With cats it is very important to help them feel safe and protected when they are eating or using the litter box. Don’t let the other pets in the house or any loud noise startle them when they are eating.
• Get them fresh bowls, litter boxes, bed, leash, and collars. It will really help if they get new objects around them that do not smell like their past life in a shelter. Sometimes, if the pet looks very comfortable with a certain toy or blanket then it is better to bring that object home for him so that he can feel secure in its lingering smells.
• Take them to the vet for a thorough check-up and get them the medical attention they need. Before you introduce your rescued pet to other pets, kids, or the elderly in the house, you must get a clear go-ahead from the vet. Sometimes our rescued companions can come home suffering from heartworms, malnutrition, skin infections, or contagious diseases like FIV and FeLV. That’s not a death sentence. NHV pet experts will work along with you and your vet to help them live a healthy and normal life. Keep your promise!
• Get a crate to help them sleep in, for the first few nights.
Introduction
• Reward every positive action with a positive reaction. It could be a treat or a pat or a kiss or lots of praises. That will encourage the scared little kiddo to open up and accept all the new attention he is getting.
• Gradually introduce them to other animals and humans, to ensure they feel confident and comfortable. Let them take their time and introduce one new person or animal at a time.
• Ensure they have proper identification in the event they do try to escape.
• Introduce routine. A daily feeding, training, and walking routine can help enrich their lives with restructure and to re-build confidence.
• Try to identify and manage any stress triggers. Ask your family and friends to help if needed. Some rescued pets get very worked up when they hear loud noises or some hide when they see a flame or a lighter. Some may even associate cars with trouble and hence show aggression around them. You have to make a note of each trigger and try to eliminate them from their lives for some time before positively introducing them again. Rewarding each successful interaction.
Useful Tips & Tricks
• Calming herbal formulas like NHV Lesstress for dogs or Matricalm for dogs, cats, and other pets can help reduce their stress and anxiety while adjusting to a new home. These supplements can be given at double the recommended dose for the first few weeks to help reduce stress and make a smooth transition possible.
• Feed them well. A healthy and well-balanced diet can fix so much. It will help them stay active and feel welcomed in their new environment. NHV multi essentials is a great multivitamin that can help fill dietary gaps quickly and give them some much-needed energy and nutrition boost.
• Homemade bone broth is a great way of getting sickly and stressed out pets to eat. We have a recipe that works really well. You can also get them some NHV Yucca to help relieve any discomfort while simultaneously promoting a healthy appetite.
• High-quality essential oils like Chamomile and Lavender can be used to spread calm around the house. Instead of using electronic diffusers which can be harmful to pets, it is better to go for high-quality pure oil and simply place a few drops on objects around the house, ensuring that the pets do not come in contact with them or ingest them in any situation. You could even place a drop or two on yourself when you try to approach them.
• Organize a few dates with your new rescue before bringing home a pet with trauma. On those dates take along objects from your house and leave them behind for her to familiarize herself with.
Be patient and don’t give up on your promise. Many of these rescue pets have already been to different owners and have been rejected. Or they have been scarred for life. But the good thing is that animals are very forgiving. A little bit of TLC goes a long way, and they eventually leave their baggage and become one of your own. Bringing home a pet with trauma and a life with a rescue pet will bring its own unique rewards.

Discomfort and Appetite Support for Cats
Yucca is used in cat food as well as food for other animals around the world. Its root is a highly nutritious herb that’s rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.
How Yucca Supports Cats
Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols) which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on Yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort relief and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca for cats may also be a natural appetite stimulant and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some cats.

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.
