Every year around November, many pets start to unravel—pacing, barking, stealing food, or having accidents seemingly out of nowhere. In this episode, I break down why the holidays are so hard on our animals and how small, thoughtful adjustments can prevent overwhelm. You’ll learn how visitors, noise, routines, and tempting smells trigger stress—and what you can do to create calm, supportive spaces before things spiral. With a little planning and empathy, your dog can enjoy the season as much as you do.
