Until recently, there has been a tendency to consider the behaviour of animals as being separate from, and even immaterial to, their physical health. However, there is now strong evidence that the emotional state of both human and veterinary patients not only influences their behaviour, but also has a profound influence on the onset of, and recovery from, disease. This chapter explains Negative emotional states; Behavioural signs; The stress response; Emotional state, stress and disease; Negative emotional states in dogs in the veterinary practice and in long term care; Negative emotional states in cats in the veterinary practice and in long term care; and Other tools for reducing negative emotional states in dogs and cats.
