๐ Ready for actionโor ready to rest?
Your animal's autonomic nervous system helps the body respond to changing demands.
โก Sympathetic nervous system: Helps prepare the body for action and challenge.
๐ฟ Parasympathetic nervous system: Helps support rest, digestion, and recovery.
Both are essential! Your dog needs to be able to respond when something exciting or unexpected happens. But animals also need opportunities to relax, sleep, and recover.
Consider your pet's daily routine. Do they have a quiet place to rest? Do they get time to decompress after exciting activities? Are there predictable routines that help them feel secure?
Supporting wellness starts with understanding what your animal needs throughout the day.
