What causes destructive behavior in dogs?

Causes and treatments for destructive behavior

Anxiety

Can’t leave the house because your pup will tear up anything in their path? Destructive behavior is a common sign of a distressed, anxious pet. It can be moderate, such as chewing up a pillow when the dog is still new and nervous about being in your home, but it can also become very disruptive, including destroying door frames and furniture. If you can figure out why your dog is anxious, address that first. A new dog who came from a rescue could be very nervous, so creating safe, calming spaces and providing engaging activities might help. A dog that’s started chewing after a major change in diet could be suffering from calorie intakes that are too low. Or, the dog might not have good outlets for its normal energy, in which case giving it more chew toys and increasing the number of opportunities it has to run and play may be the best option.

Behavioral therapy

We work directly with two of only 80 board-certified veterinary behaviorists who create easy-to-learn training exercises and environmental enrichment techniques to create lasting change to help with your dog’s destructive behavior. Schedule your online vet visit today to learn more.

Vet prescribed anxiety treatment

Dog anxiety medication can help stop your dog’s destructive behavior in many cases. These can range from supplements that help calm the dog to prescription medications that affect brain chemistry.

With Dutch, you can meet with a top rated vet online. Dutch is the only service that connects dog parents with licensed veterinarians to deliver specialized anxiety treatments right to your door. Our Dutch-affiliated vets will review their list of triggers and fears to develop a plan that will get to the root of your dog’s problems and create lasting change.

Frequently asked questions

What is a visit with Dutch like?

When booking a video call with a vet, you'll be asked a few questions about your pet’s health issue. Depending on the issue, you may also be asked to fill out a longer questionnaire about their symptoms and share photographs of them so our veterinarians can better understand what’s going on. You’ll then pick an appointment time that works best for you.

During your video call, one of our licensed veterinarians will talk to you about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions you have. The vet will ask to see your pet and their environment. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.

After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.

Who is Dutch for?

Dutch is for dog and cat owners wanting a more cost effective and timely way to handle common pet issues. We eliminate the unnecessary vet visit as well as the stress related to getting your pet to the vet. The Dutch experience is designed to connect you with a vet via video call for general advice and recommended OTC product offerings. In certain states, vets may prescribe medication and therapeutics and our partner pharmacy will ship it right to your door.

What’s included in a Dutch membership?

All Dutch members have unlimited access to U.S.-licensed veterinarians over video chat and messaging for up to 5 pets. In many states, our vets can also prescribe medication for pets. Our vets will create a specialized treatment plan for your pet that can include prescription and/or over-the-counter medications, as well as behavioral modification, diet, and/or enrichment advice. A Dutch membership also includes free standard shipping and free, unlimited follow-ups with our vets through messaging and video calls. In addition, our Annual + Insurance plan includes $10,000 of emergency insurance. The cost of medication is not included in membership.
