Loving pets, solving problems: Your guide to living happily with your dog and cat

Having a pet is one of life's most wonderful experiences—but let's be honest: It can also be challenging. From a hairy sofa to a scratched door, from nighttime meowing to walking in the pouring rain. But don't worry—with the right tips, you can solve many common problems and give your four-legged friend a happy, stress-free life.
Why every pet is unique – and has its own needs
Dogs and cats are loyal companions, but they have very different needs. While dogs generally need exercise, structure, and training, cats love their independence and find their own rhythm. The problem? If their needs aren't met, behavioral problems can arise.
Typical challenges with dogs and solutions
- Pulling on the leash: A well-fitting harness and consistent training help. Tip: Positive reinforcement with treats when your dog walks loosely on the leash.
- Separation anxiety: A fixed daily routine, slow training and calming routines will help your dog stay alone.
Typical challenges with cats and solutions
- Scratching attacks on furniture: A high-quality scratching post in the right place can save furniture. Tip: Add catnip or valerian to make the scratching post more attractive.
-
Nighttime meowing: Fixed feeding times and enough activity during the day help to avoid nighttime waking.
Well-being factors for a stress-free pet life
A relaxed pet is a happy pet.
Here are three golden rules to avoid stress:
- Routine & Structure: Fixed feeding times and rituals provide security.
- The right place to sleep: A high-quality bed ensures relaxation and security.
- Play & Activity: Intelligence toys and interactive activities promote mental health.
