Stress-related illnesses are also on the rise in dogs. The causes are manifold and can manifest themselves in everyday situations that usually seem ordinary to humans but are highly stressful for dogs. Chronic anxiety behavioral and temperamental problems can manifest as nervousness, stomach problems, or constant fatigue. Psychosomatic illnesses, for example, increase pain symptoms, prolong the healing process and reduce the immune system.
