Is your dog suffering from the back-to-school blues as much as your kids are? Many pups get the blues after the dog days of summer are over and their best friend heads back to school. Follow some of these tips to make the transition a little easier on your four-legged friend. *When your kids leave for school, make it a fun time of day for your dog. Go for a walk or use treats and toys.* *Create a place in the house where your dog feels safe and comfortable.* *Get some interactive or puzzle toys to help your dog fight off boredom.* *Dont indulge anxious behavior with too much baby-talk or coddling.* *Exercise your dog - tired pets are happier and dont worry as much!* (If your dog is showing signs of severe separation anxiety while youre away, like destructive behavior, accidents in the house or puddles of saliva, give us a call to talk to your veterinarian.)
