As we start preparing lunches and dusting off backpacks, it's important to remember that our furry friends might feel a little lost as our routines change. Sudden shifts in our schedules can lead to separation anxiety or stress for pets who have grown accustomed to having us around all day.
To help your pet adjust, try gradually reintroducing alone time before the school year or work schedule begins in full swing. Start by leaving them alone for short periods and slowly increase the duration. Offer them a favorite toy, treat, or cozy spot to make their alone time more enjoyable and comforting.
Keep goodbyes calm and brief, so departures don’t become a source of anxiety. When you return, greet your pets calmly and reward them for good behavior while you were away. Consistency and patience are key during this transition.
Remember, a little preparation can go a long way in easing your pet’s stress and helping them feel secure as routines shift. Let’s make this back-to-school season a positive experience for every member of the family—including our furry companions!
