anxious

Dogs are the best thing in the world. This had to be said at the beginning of this list. Dogs are adorably hilarious, dogs are dramatic, dogs are rays of sunshine that everyone should have in their homes. But... some of them are a bit anxious, and others can be somewhat aggressive sometimes. Rather than give up on them though, we, as owners, have to do out best to help them. 

Sometimes, helping your pup with their aggression or anxiety can be as simple as getting them a special new toy - one with treats inside, one with cooling properties, one that helps with teething. There are so many options, and we've collected some of the best ones for you right here. All of these products have been hand picked by us, the editors, and 'I Can Has Cheezburger' earns an affiliate commission on qualifying purchases from the products we link to.

And if you have an anxious cat on your hands rather than a dog, you can check out our list of relaxing products for anxious cats and kittens or our list of interactive cat toys for cats with too much energy on their hands. 

Losing your pet is a different kind of pain. And you know that you love that thing so much, you'll do anything in your capabilities to get them back. So, when you're walking your dog, and it somehow gets you to let go of the leash and sprints off full speed, your first instinct is most likely to run after them, because you're not losing them. Only that when you do that... they might just think you're playing and run faster. 

After a tweet went viral, people on twitter shared their own stories of running after their dogs while the dogs think they're a game. Luckily though, in most of those stories, the owners either stopped running and had the dog come back to them or the doggo full-on trolled them and just ran back home. 

So thank you, twitter, for mildly stressing me out while also making me laugh while also educating me.
