Animals are so sensitive that not only do they pick up on your energy, but it is widespread for them to absorb the emotions that you and your family are feeling, especially in times of crisis or stress. Pets often reflect their owner’s feelings and imbalances and take on those negative emotions, which can create an emotional and physical imbalance.
When a negative emotion is felt strongly enough, it can become trapped in the pet's body, just like in humans. These imbalances can manifest in our pets' behavioral and physical problems. Unfortunately, our pets cannot talk about their feelings, but if you watch their behavior closely enough, you can see subtle and often extreme changes in their behavior.
