Boredom is also a common reason for pets to be destructive. For example, an under-exercised dog can find immense excitement and entertainment in shredding a pillow. Also, a kitty without any toys might explore his hunting skills by scratching the sofa. Indoor-only pets are more likely to act destructively due to frustration. Therefore, it’s vital to provide your pets with adequate physical activities, and proper guidance on what’s appropriate to chew.

To fix your pet’s destructive behaviors, it’s important to analyze your pet and figure out what’s best for him. Owners should research their pet’s basic needs considering the age, and ensure that those needs are being met. If the destructive behavior continues, it’s important to seek professional help to ensure your pet’s well-being.
