Anyone who has a pet will definitely try to give it as much attention as possible to keep it happy. You certainly don't want to see your dog stressed, so it's a good idea to remember what your pet is afraid of. Veterinarians say that the first signs of fear are a change in body posture, arched back or shaking.
Here are 6 things that scare your pets.
1. Changes in routine
Pets are sensitive to even the smallest changes - the arrival of a guest, a trip... these are all things that can lead to negative changes. To ease the situation, provide the pet with a place where he can retreat to his peace.
2. Insects
Just like people, pets can have insect phobias. The sound of insects can make a pet jump or “bite” the air, and if they have past trauma from stings, they may be especially afraid of encountering insects. There are repellants that you can put on your pet to keep insects away from it while walking.
3. Loud noises
Telling your pet loudly how much you love them can scare them. The same goes for yelling, which is extremely stressful for them. If you're an ardent fan, watch the tone during the game or place your pet where it's comfortable.

4. Unknown objects
According to veterinarians, pets can be skeptical of certain objects, so a cat may jump in the air when it sees a cucumber, and this unexpected reaction is probably due to surprise.
5. Children
It is not impossible for your pet to be afraid of children, as they are often afraid of unfamiliar people. Children are afraid because they don't actually know how to pass animals properly, so they are often too loud and rude. Such behavior can be interpreted by the dog as aggression. Here is the advice on how to teach children how to behave towards animals.
6. Sounds
Just as the sound of an old vacuum cleaner can bother you, these loud noises can also bother your pet. They may also be disturbed by the smell from the vacuum cleaner, which you certainly did not expect.
