This festive season, keep pet anxiety at bay with veterinarian-endorsed Ceva solutions 

Festive season fills homes with lights, music and gatherings. Yet, for many pets, this time of year can be a major source of stress.

At Ceva, one of the world’s leading animal health companies, we work to make the festive season safer and more peaceful for both pets and their families. Our science-based solutions, backed by world-class veterinarians, help reduce anxiety and strengthen the unique bond between animals and their owners.

The signs of festive season stress in pets go beyond hiding, trembling, panting or excessive barking, among other indicators. Continued exposure to stimuli that overwhelm them can lead to increased heart rate, digestive problems, inappropriate urination, loss of appetite and even destructive behaviour. That is why it is essential to act in advance and provide them with tools to help them feel safe.

With over 25 years of experience as a leader in animal health and pet behaviour, Ceva offers a broad range of vet-approved products specifically designed to alleviate anxiety in pets. For cats, FELIWAY pheromones in diffusers and sprays, and the recent launch of its liquid snack with alpha-casozepine, can calm them in stressful situations, creating a safe and peaceful environment at home. For dogs, ADAPTIL diffusers and collars release pheromones that help dogs feel calmer, while ADAPTIL chews provide a fast-acting, non-addictive solution with ingredients such as L-theanine and colostrum to help calm dogs in stressful situations.

In addition to these solutions, we recommend preparing a dedicated, quiet and safe space inside the home, using soft music to mask outside noise, keeping routines as recurring and stable as possible, and ensuring that your pet has a microchip and up-to-date identification, especially on days with increased activity or potential escape opportunities. 

‘Protecting pets during the festive season isn’t only about reducing stress: it’s about nurturing the bond we share with them,’ says Dr Sarah Endersby MRCVS, Technical Director of the Wellbeing Range at Ceva Animal Health. ‘With the right combination of scientifically backed products and practical care, owners can help their pets feel safe, secure and relaxed, even during the busiest times of the festive season.’
