Many pets today are prone to anxiety and stress.  The stress of living with a fear or anxiety disorder can negatively affect your pet’s health and longevity.  The more you know about what triggers your pet’s anxiety, the behaviors she exhibits when anxious, and the effect of stress on her health, the better you’ll be able to notice the signs and take action to minimize or eliminate the stressors.  In this 3-part series, we’ll talk about these factors and how you can help your pets  have a more stress-free life.

Sometimes, what we consider to be a normal event, our pets may see as stressful or even traumatic.

Things we consider normal that may stress our animals:

Big stress triggers that can affect our pets and our stress level too:

Many pets lack the coping skills to effectively manage anxiety and stress due to experiences or lack of experiences in their early lives, so when identifying triggers for your pet’s anxiety, also consider his history.  What do you know about your pet’s past?  Is there a history of past abuse or neglect?  Was your pet properly socialized between 3 and 14 weeks of age?

Stay tuned!  Next month we’ll talk about the signals your pet gives you when he’s feeling anxious or stressed.

Testimonials

Healing happens within the context of relationship, and that is right where Beth starts!

Beth has worked with two of my dogs. One was declining from cancer, and the other was suffering from a traumatic fall.  During their treatment sessions, she helped them feel safe and comfortable, and both responded immediately to Healing Touch and Craniosacral therapies, and the healing stayed with them.

Beth has always been readily available when needed, follows up as appropriate, and can be completely relied upon! Her practice is an extension of her mighty heart, and I’m grateful she is here in our community!

Before her relocation to Durango, Beth was a regular volunteer at the small animal shelter that I work for.  You would not believe the difference in the dogs while she was visiting and providing them with her wonderful Reiki energy.  If you’ve ever been to a shelter, you know how loud it can be.  During and after her visits, the dogs became so much calmer and more relaxed.  The shelter was quiet!  That is the “proof in the pudding”.

Beth has helped countless “failure to thrive” kittens, mostly by distance work after providing her with a picture of the failing baby.  She continues to help remotely with any animal we think could use some extra assistance.  I have seen the difference it makes.  I am so grateful for the valuable assistance that Beth has donated and continues to donate to shelter and rescue animals to help them have the happy, healthy life they deserve.  Thank you, Beth!

I took my son to Beth, of Spirit Wolf Energetics, due to chronic muscle and joint pains.  She was incredibly warm and welcoming, which quickly put him at ease.  The Reiki session was calming yet somehow vibrant at the same time.

My son immediately felt less muscle tension and happily stated that his shoulder wasn’t popping as it had been earlier. As an added bonus, he slept much better that night!  A huge thanks to Beth for the wonderful experience!

Beth didn’t just support me — she showed up like a soul ally when I needed it most. I had experienced an injury, and in that raw moment, she held space with such grace and strength that it felt like something bigger was at work. Strangely — and beautifully — a couple walking their dog were drawn into our situation and stayed to help until everything settled. It was as if her energy called in what was needed.
I’ve since had a Reiki session with Beth, and the only way I can describe it is: transformational. I left feeling not just relaxed, but rebalanced — as though my body had remembered something it had forgotten.
There’s something magnetic about her — the kind of quiet power that draws people in and creates instant trust. You see it in her eyes. You feel it in the room. And when she works with animals? That connection is almost beyond words. They sense her — and respond.
Beth isn’t just a healer. She’s a force of compassion, calm, and energetic precision. If you’re lucky enough to cross paths with her, don’t hesitate. Say yes.

Masha is a big, energetic Lab with loads of enthusiasm for life, but she has some fear issues that cripple her in certain environments.

She quickly calms down when Beth starts her therapy session of Healing Touch and Reiki, and the changes in her are immediately apparent. Masha’s fear lessens after her therapy, which allows her to more comfortably navigate the places that cause her stress and fear.

Thank you, Beth, for loving animals, especially mine! You absolutely make a difference.
