Back-to-school season isn't just an adjustment for kids... your pets feel the shift too! 🎒
After a summer of constant company, empty houses and new schedules can bring on real separation anxiety.
Watch for:
🐾 Excessive barking or meowing when you leave
🐾 Destructive chewing or scratching
🐾 Accidents (despite being house-trained)
🐾 Pacing or clinginess before you walk out the door
Practice short departures, leave a piece of your worn clothing behind, and stick to a consistent routine as schedules shift to keep your pet feeling safe and comfortable.
If your pet's anxiety seems severe, our team is here to help with strategies (and support) tailored to them. Give us a call! 💙
