Sometimes, you might not be around when your dog feels worried.
You might think about getting a body wrap to help them in tough times.
There aren’t many studies proving body wraps help anxious dogs, but some owners say they do.

They give gentle pressure to ease anxiety caused by being apart, loud noises, or vet visits.
If your dog has serious anxiety, it’s best to chat with a vet.
