Safety is often approached by adding something. But safety does not always come from addition.
Not Everything Needs to Be Added
Most people try to create safety by adding something.
But safety rarely works this way.
Stability Before Comfort
For pets, safety begins with stability.
A stable environment requires less adjustment. And less adjustment is where calm begins.
