Relationship breakdowns proven to affect pets

A national animal welfare charity has revealed that increasing numbers of fretful domestic pets are enduring the misery caused by a range of compulsive disorders when their owners split up.

The People Dispensary for Sick Animals, known as the PDSA are warning that the elevated numbers of relationship breakdowns in the UK is having a serious effect on the health of the domestic pets involved.

The charity has confirmed that veterinary surgeries across the country are observing more and more pets that are showing the various symptoms of obsessive or compulsive behaviours and illnesses which result from emotional trauma.

Concerned officials at the charity are asking the UK’s pet owners to consider the welfare and security of their pets as a crucial part of the break-up process.

One PDSA senior vet advised that canines suffering from the effects of stress will demonstrate signs of compulsive disorder through extensive licking or nibbling of the limbs or excessive tail chasing, whilst cats may resort to chewing blankets or similar woollen items.

He commented:-

“We see cats and dogs with compulsive disorders that have been caused or aggravated by the anxiety associated with owners breaking up.

Cats and dogs, like young children, are sensitive to adult human emotions and when these become tense or unpredictable, this can cause health problems.”
