There's a 11 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: few things that do tend to come through. A lot 12 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: of cats end up getting stressed with flatter issues, so 13 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: we're getting coming in not able to pee properly read 14 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: a lot of dogs Yeah, yeah, stress can affect their 15 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: urinary system, so nothing not like they're straining and not 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: producing anything, which should be quite concerning. Yeah, and then 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: the dogs will often they'll be quite destructive. They'll chew 18 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: through things, they'll run. They're outside, they can get away 19 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: from leads and kennels and things like that, and then 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: they're getting hit by cars. That's yeah, they're quite stressful. 21 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: The outdoor animals in particular, I spear of thought for 22 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: and I've heard some horror stories when it comes to 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: like horses, yeah. 24 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: I'm lucky myself. I don't deal much with horses. I've 25 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: heard some nasty things, so they can be quite boked 26 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: for things. 27 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: Like breaking too fe and stuff. Yeah, so exactly what 28 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: would you encourage people consider before setting off fireworks? 29 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: Just have a chat with the neighbors and say, hey, guys, 30 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 2: we're planning on this night. You know you've got some pets. 31 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: Just that you know, people can actually prepare and do 32 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: something for their pets before that happens. 33 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're pretty well versed in particularly domestic pets, you know, 34 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: bring them inside and trying to look after them. Something 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: that we have for the kids is a white noise machine. 36 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: Would that work for pets till there's some like quirky 37 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: ways to help cart our pets. 38 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, there's no reason why I wouldn't. Absolutely not. 39 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: I've heard of things in the States and get to 40 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: like boom rooms and things, so they're like like I 41 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: sort of sound proofs of areas and stuff. You can 42 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: get them in, distract them and you know, their favorite toy, 43 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: favorite treat. Something like that can sometimes help too. 44 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: What does stress look like in animals? We've got Scruffy 45 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: the dog and I swear that he's more and more 46 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: deaf by the day, so that probably helps an all 47 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: finus too, But he seems pretty chill. He's never been 48 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: rattled by fireworks, although that's just what it appears. 49 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: Like. 50 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: What are the signs if a pet is in fact 51 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: a little distressed. 52 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that is one of the trickiest parts of 53 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: my job, because it's so hard to tell sometimes, right, 54 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: it can be little cues just you know, a little 55 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: bit of twitchiness in the ears, or that it's not 56 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: sleeping quiet as well. And I mean some somehows absolutely 57 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: fire with fireworks, but others they say can't be. And 58 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: if you know they're pacing a little bit more, they 59 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: might just not settle as easily, being a bit clingier. 60 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: It's quite a common one. They just like a little 61 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: bit closer than normally would the cats on the lap 62 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: when it normally would be on the cat beside you, 63 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: for example, Sometimes it are vocalizing and might start mewling 64 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 2: or barking a little bit more than normal. And then 65 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: other changes like they and go off food and water 66 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: and change your touring habits and things as well, which 67 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: come normly a bit down the line. But that also 68 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: can be a finest stress. 69 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,279 Speaker 1: Maybe I just need to find a little more consideration 70 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: for scruff dog. You know, with two young kids in 71 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: the house now, more often than not it's get out 72 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: of the way mate, But it might just need to 73 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: extend a few extra cuddles his way this coming week, 74 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Thinking of all our fur babies, and thank you Hanna 75 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: Evans from Vetlife for your thoughts.
