Dog expert shares 5 things that will ease your pooch's separation anxiety

Leaving your dog home alone can be heartbreaking especially as September has come and it's back to the school routine and with families suddenly spending less time at home, many dogs are left wondering why their favourite humans have disappeared for hours each day. For some dogs, this sudden change in routine can trigger separation anxiety, leading to unwanted behaviours like barking, whining, destructive chewing, or even attempts to escape.

Just like humans, dogs thrive on consistency and connection. When their environment shifts without warning, it can be deeply unsettling. According to the RSPCA, 8 out of 10 dogs find it difficult to cope when they are left home alone. Fortunately, a dog expert, Rachel M. from PetGuide.com has shared five simple but effective ways to help ease this anxiety and make the transition smoother for both you and your beloved pet.
