In this episode of The Marty and Laura Show , host Laura Reeves and veterinarian Dr. Marty Greer dig into the real-world challenges of anxiety, fear and stress-related behaviors in pets, especially during high-trigger seasons. They cover what doesn’t work (spoiler: Benadryl and acepromazine aren’t true anxiety solutions ) and explain what can help: structured training, “happy vet visits,” smart environmental choices, and medication plans that match the pet’s needs—whether the stress is occasional (holiday visitors, grooming, thunderstorms) or constant (dogs who live under a “black cloud”). This is a must-listen for anyone dealing with separation anxiety, vet visit meltdowns, noise sensitivity, or a dog who simply isn’t comfortable in their own skin. The Marty & Laura Show is produced by Pure Dog Talk Inc. , with sound design and editing by Premium Audio Services .","meta_description":"Helping Anxious Dogs (and Cats) Through Vet Visits & Holiday Chaos Holiday gatherings, noisy celebrations, and busy schedules can spike anxiety in dog…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2029,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-marty-laura-show-7153313/episodes/56-helping-anxious-dogs-and-cats-through-vet-visits-holiday-chaos/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-marty-laura-show-7153313/56-helping-anxious-dogs-and-cats-through-vet-visits-holiday-chaos.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
