๐๐พ Back to school means a change in routine for our pets, too! ๐๐
September often brings earlier mornings, busy evenings, kids heading back to school, and homes that suddenly feel much quieter during the day.
And while weโre adjusting to new schedules, our pets are noticing those changes too.
You may see your pet following you more closely, waiting by the door, vocalizing, seeming restless, or simply looking for a little extra attention as they settle into the new routine.
A few things can help make the transition easier:
๐พ Keep meals, play time and bed locations as consistent as possible
๐พ Build in some one-on-one time before or after school
๐พ Offer new enrichment toys or a special clothing item with your scent
๐พ Give them a little time and patience to adjust
And donโt forget those goodbye hugs on the way out the door. Sometimes our pets are just as attached to the back-to-school crew as we are. ๐๐ฑ
