Vocalization

Vocalization

Vocalization in dogs and cats refers to disruptive crying, whining and barking in dogs and meowing in cats. Vocalization in pets refers to such excessive behavior as barking, howling, whining, meowing or yowling. Both cats and dogs can display this behavior for a variety of reasons. For example, cats often yowl when they are getting ready to fight or when they are in heat. Dogs often howl at sirens. Other things that can lead to vocalization in dogs and cats include boredom, stress, pain or illness, and distress.

How to Recognize

If your pet howls, cries, whimpers, whines, or barks/meows much more than usual, something may be wrong.

Causes of Vocalization

Pets usually vocalize when they are bored, stressed, or afraid, but vocalization may also be a sign your pet is in distress or pain. Intact cats become very loud during while they are in heat, which is a part of their mating cycle.

Pet Insurance

When adding a dog or cat to your family you want to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and protected. During its lifetime your pet is exposed to many illnesses and diseases and some breeds are affected by a congenital disease which is a condition existing at birth. At these moments when your pet is ill or maybe needs surgery, you want to be protected for the unexpected and high veterinarian costs.
