Quick Tips to Help Your Pet Cope When They Miss You

Get in the Groove

5,6, 7, 8! It might require some practice but take the time to establish a new routine with your pet. To ease them into big schedule changes, try slowly incorporating daily alone time – whether you spend time apart in different rooms or leave the house. Starting small and working your way up will help the shift feel less startling for your pet…and you!

Now Entering the Cozy Zone

If your pet doesn’t have a space that’s their own, it’s time to set one up for them. It’s called self-care (but you just have to help your pet get started). Give them a comfy bed and a toy to snuggle. You can even try crate training!

You Better Work(out)

Once you’re home for the day, take your pup out into the big world for regular walks. They’ll have extra energy to burn, especially if they’ve been accustomed to lunchtime walks before your schedule change. Break out the catnip and laser toys to keep your cat entertained during playtime.

Yawns Are Long Gone

If your pet is feeling lazy and missing their playtime partner when you’re at work, try introducing some interactive toys to keep boredom at bay even when you’re away. Puzzle toys, chews and treat dispensing toys can keep them entertained when no one else is around.

Your Secret Weapon: Treats

Before you head out the door, treat your dog or cat to a lot of love and a calming chew or CBD product. These treats aren’t just yummy, but they can help ease their anxiety, especially if it’s hard for them to watch you leave.

Trainer on Retainer

Sometimes you might need a little extra help, and that’s okay! If your pet’s anxieties aren’t getting better, a professional pet trainer can work with you to find a solution.
