Any other non-domestic animals on here struggle with the fact that there is basically no equipment you can get to help with species dysphoria?
For example, dogs and cats can get collars, harnesses, feeding bowls and pet toys. Domestic birds can get cages, seed bowls and enrichment toys. Equines can get like box toys, halters, boots, blankets and horse treats.
But we non domestic animals can’t get shi, like what can we possibly get?? As a wolf, I gotta be like ohh right I’ll just pop to the pet store and get some frozen deer legs to chew on you know ;_;
Adding onto other recommendations, as an occasional fellow wolf, things that help me include: wearing ears, wearing tails, going on walks / runs, and chewing on things like Twizzlers that have a certain texture that my brain enjoys. You could also try antlers or venison if you’re wanting something to chew on specifically. If you want to really lean into the hunting aspect of wolves, try buying some stuffed animals of prey species. I mostly like to hold stuffed animals, but getting something sturdy to shake around may also be nice. Curling up in a nice, sheltered dark spot can also be nice if you want to have a den. Woodsy smells may also help.
