The pandemic has changed life as we know it. Current safety guidelines ensure we do everything in our ability to stay healthy and protect ourselves and our loved ones. With this extra time being spent at home, we are able to bond with our pets. However, what happens when we have to go back to work? Below we’ll discuss how to help your furry friends cope with separation anxiety.
Diagnosing Separation Anxiety
Imagine: after a long day spent working and jumping from one place to the next, you arrive home exhausted. Your dog greets you ecstatically by jumping up and down, with a wagging tail and an endearing smile. However, you see a mess of ruined shoes behind them. Don’t panic or lose your temper; this could be a sign of separation anxiety. Basically, if your pet exhibits whining, drooling, an inability to settle when alone at home, or any destructive behavior, it’s a sign that they are struggling with separation anxiety. Pay close attention to your pets so you can spot the signs.
How to Help Your Pets Cope with Separation Anxiety
Our pets rely on us to give them food, shelter, and love. With the abundance of time spent at home recently, it is understandable that they will have trouble adjusting to life back to normal. Be compassionate towards their feelings, and do everything in your power to ensure they feel comfortable being home alone again. Don’t forget to tell your furry friends that you love them!
