Veterinary experts share their best advice on keeping your furry friends cool and calm while you're away.
Ask any pet parent and they'll say the same: Nothing's worse than dealing with a dog or cat with separation anxiety."Pet separation anxiety is a behavioral problem that occurs when a pet is left alone or separated from a significant person," explains Dr. Sharon L. Campbell, DVM at Zoetis."It can lead to destructiveness—think chewed pillows and knocked over vases—restlessness, and other signs of stress, such as distressed barking and hyper salivation.
Reduce sound triggers.If your pet experiences separation anxiety, chances are they're provoked by certain sounds and noises that alert them to your departure."Whether it's jingling keys or the garage door opening, anything that indicates that you're about to leave can trigger the anxiety," Dr. Campbell says."Minimize nerve-wracking noises—put keys in your coat pocket the night before or park your car in the driveway—to keep them calm before you go.
