Stressors impact on all areas of a pet's life, potentially to the detriment of their well-being. In addition, should this lead to behavior change, it is likely to cause strain in the owner-pet relationship with an increased risk of relinquishment. Understanding why events may be perceived as stressful to a given individual is essential in remedying their effect. Clinicians need to be skilled in recognizing and categorizing potential stressors as well as auditing the background stress in the animal's environment as only once this has been accomplished can specific measures be implemented to reduce the effects of the stress load.
应激源会影响宠物生活的各个方面，可能损害它们的健康。此外，如果这导致行为改变，很可能会使主人与宠物的关系紧张，增加宠物被遗弃的风险。了解为什么某些事件可能会被特定个体视为有压力，对于纠正其影响至关重要。临床医生需要熟练识别和分类潜在的应激源，并评估动物环境中的背景压力，因为只有完成这些，才能实施具体措施来减轻压力负荷的影响。
