Feeding during chaos â arguments, rushing out, emotional overwhelm â teaches pets to eat under stress. Just like us, they link meals to safety. Pause. Breathe. Pet their head. Then serve. A quiet moment turns feeding into ritual. It says: âYouâre safe. Youâre loved. Iâm here.â Thatâs not just food. Thatâs nervous system support â from farm to paw.
