[ ] >> Meredith: 8:42 on your monday morning. You're watching "breakfast television." sid seixeiro is back. Hello, I'm meredith shaw. And most of us know when we're feeling stressed but what about our pets? That's the question. Joining us this morning to share with us the signs of stress in our pets and what it looks like and how we can alleviate the causes and symptoms, we have dr. Colleen wilson with us. Good morning. >> Hi. Pleasure to be here. >> Meredith: yeah. >> Sid: so many questions and so little time. Doctor. Let's start with the typical behavioral signs we look for to determine if a dog or cat is stressed. I think of all the common pet questions, this must be top five, if not top three. What should we be looking for? >> Right. First we have to say if you're worried about a change in behaviour or signs you have to visit father veterinarian. Common signs of stress in cats include hiding. Like, they don't interact with the family. Even marking furniture with their paws and scratching. Marking and eliminating outside the litter pan. Those are common signs for cats. In dogs people miss the subtle signs. We look at a dog by the face and look for ears back, big eyes. They might lick their nose or lips or yawn when they're not tired and that progresses to wining and barking and sometimes aggression. >> Meredith: if we look to the causes of stress I our animals, like I know we were talking about the top three questions but I have a dog named lucy. I haven't thought about if she's stressed. Is she happy? Fed? Loved? But the idea of stress, I'm like, what could you be stressed about, girl? You're all taken care of. What problems do you have? What problems do they have? >> Good point. For animals, cats and dogs especially, change. If it's not same-same, they get stressed. Think about the summer coming up, if you're travelling with the pet in the car or taking your pet with you somewhere or maybe having company over. A lot of dogs and cats aren't comfortable with children. Things like that.

and noises. You might not be fearful of fireworks and might enjoy them, but your dog and cats don't like them. Or construction, that's a big one in the summer too. A lot of people move in the summer. That's another source of stress for cats and dogs. >>>>id: I used to like fireworks until I worked this shift and then sleep became an issue. Anyway, it's not about me, it's about the pets. >> Meredith: back to the pets, yeah. >> I can't help you with that. Sorry. >> Sid: no, I'm being selfish with the segment. I'm sorry, it's a me issue. We determined what the stresses might be, we determined the causes. What do we do about them? >> I'd like to say first, the first thing, these behaviours can become annoying to pet owners and rightfully so. But the first thing is don't punish your pet. They're not doing this to get at you or get back at you. But some things you can do after that are pheromones. They're kind of natural because they mimic when a mother gives birth and has a litter, a cat or a dog. Also when your cat rubs up against you and rubs against your furniture, they're releasing calming pheromones. These are easy to use and veterinarians like these products because they have research behind them. You can use them as a diffuser in your home. There are sprays as well or a colour around the neck. Those things help. They get in the environment, they go past two ducts behind your teeth and into the organ which we call the jacob's organ and into the calming sensation centre of the brain. >> Meredith: it's all sprays. Not a pill or anything? >> Ah, exactly. Diffuser, colour, spray, yeah. >> Meredith: sometimes administering medication on pets can be stressful. >> True enough, yes. >> Meredith: I'm glad this is done in a different delivery method. >> Yeah. >> Sid: these are great tips. That's not all, ladies and gentlemen, if you're watching this segment going, I could use this, we have something for you.

Doctor, before we go, if this is an issue and you want to do something about it this summer your biggest tip for people is what? >> Don't punish your pet. >> Meredith: this is their natural behaviour and check with your vet. Could be an indication of something else. >> Exactly. You're allowed to not like these things but remember there's dog behaviours and cat behaviours and that's all they have. >> Meredith: save your questions for another segment, okay, sid? Had queen city questions about his cats >> Meredith: >> Meredith: what happens when you pet your cat and the cat punches you in the face. >> Sid: asking for a friend. We're going to focus on this. It's not about the owners necessarily. Thank you very much, doctor. >> Thank you for having me. >> Sid: don't be a stranger. Come back, please. We're going to take a break.

[ ] >> Sid: in july of 2020, colin and justin did the ultimate seasonal adjustment when they upped sticks as the kids say, and set off to redesign and run an oceanside hotel in cape breton called north star. These incredible designers -- and look at these pictures -- are heading into their fourth summer and we could certainly use their expertise to refresh our home for the summer. Ladies and gentlemen, colin and justin! >> Good morning, you too! [ speaking simultaneously ] >> Come on, sid! What an entrance! >> Come on now -- >> Meredith: we're better for it. Thank you for being here today. >> Oh my god, thank you for having us. We are literally living the canadian dream. We wake up, the atlantic ocean is on our doorstep. We're in a hotel on a cliff on a beach, overlooking a harbour with fishing boats. There's a lighthouse! There's coastal trails! An 18th century fortress in our view -- >> Meredith: it has a fortress, sid! >> We have a fortress! >> Meredith: you've had success in your career and rightly so, but a lot of people maybe think about doing this one day or I want to go open an inn, but they don't do it. You did it. How did you do it? >> Then the middle of the pandemic we thought we want to do something completely led by us, something that allows us to perform in the way we want to. We fancied a bed and breakfast or hotel and the plan got bigger and bigger. We started watching the options available and this guy -- formally called point of view suites as my grandma would say, s-h-i-t with adjustment. >> Sid: never too early to spell. >> We jumped to it and completely t tnsformed it and we were lucky the previous owners maintained it really well. But we reidentified it. Jumps down there and being hands-on and running it as a decompression from the real stress and anxiety of city life has been amazing! >> Sid: I love that you guys did this. Hello north star.ca for more information. Anything else on this before we move on and get summer -- >> If you come and stay, you could be sleeping with colin and justin, sid. Literally. >> Sid: if that's not a hook, I don't know what it is. >> I don't know -- >> Sid: no one is showing up if that was mine. No one is showing up. >> You'd be surprised is.
