FAQ

What are the signs that my animal might be highly sensitive?

Common indicators may include:

  • Overwhelming easily in busy or chaotic environments
  • Strong reactions to changes in routine or environment
  • Difficulty settling in new places or situations
  • Intense responses to sounds, smells, or visual stimuli
  • Need for longer “decompression” time after activities
  • Deep processing of experiences (seeming to “think” about things for a long time)
  • Strong emotional reactions to their family’s moods
  • Preference for predictable, calm environments
