Can pets experience PTSD just like humans? How do traumatic events affect their behavior, emotional well-being, and overall health? In this fascinating episode of Smart Pet Talk, we welcome Drs.

From rescue pets and animals experiencing abuse or neglect to those affected by sudden loss, frightening experiences, or major environmental changes, trauma can leave lasting emotional and behavioral effects. Together, we discuss how pet owners can recognize potential signs of trauma, understand the connection between emotional and physical health, and explore compassionate approaches to helping animals regain their confidence and sense of security.
