Separation Anxiety in Pets? Keep your Pets happy when you are away.

With your return to work and school, your pets may be feeling a little left out and alone. They may not understand why you are spending most of your day away form home instead of hanging out in the house with them. In fact, while you’re away, they may begin to show signs of distress, like barking and destructive chewing, and even have potty accidents or episodes of self-harm. These signs can be caused from Isolation Distress (ID) or Separation Anxiety (SA).
