Others may lose these senses through illness or injury. A pet who\u2019s suddenly gone blind or deaf will probably feel disoriented and experience some initial behavioral changes. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making life safe for your companion animal is part of your duty as a responsible pet owner. Keep the following tips in mind if you live with or are visiting the home of a blind or deaf pet:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smell plays a big role in how both blind and deaf pets interact with their environments. Allow the pet as much time as they need to explore you and their immediate environment (on leash if outside, of course).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Startling a pet is never a good idea, but it can be even more upsetting for one who\u2019s lost their hearing or vision. Be respectful of the animal\u2019s space and need for advance notice before being disturbed while resting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pet who\u2019s gone <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/the-windows-to-the-soul-pet-eye-care\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blind<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or deaf suddenly or one who\u2019s losing their abilities due to age may need extra patience and TLC.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For blind pets, be sure not to change their environment around. They often create mental routes around the house, and changes to the location of furniture and other items in the house can cause a lot of confusion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All pets need supervision, and blind or deaf pets are no exception. Remain aware of where the pet is at all times. Tune in to any signs of stress or anxiety. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Sniff and a Lick<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meeting a blind or deaf pet for the first time may feel awkward to you, but for the pet, it feels perfectly normal. Their other senses tend to compensate for the one that\u2019s missing, so most blind or deaf pets don\u2019t miss a beat when it comes to making new friends, exploring, relaxing, or doing other \u201cnormal\u201d pet activities. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training and Communication<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to popular belief, blind or deaf pets are not more difficult to train. Clicker training works very well for blind pets, and many deaf pets can be trained using hand signals. Make sure to offer plenty of appropriate verbal or tactile praise and, of course, treats! \u00a0As with any pet, the key to success lies in their personality along with your level of commitment and patience. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love and Affection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like a pet who can see and hear, pets with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/invisible-disabilities-battling-the-service-dog-stigma\/#more-748\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">special needs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also crave love and affection. Spending time together is important (this is true for any pet), so always set aside time to play and snuggle. Taking a humane approach to training and providing your pet with a sense of security are central to building a lifelong bond with your pet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> wants to help you make the most out of your interactions with your pet.
