Your dog is a big part of your life and you want to make sure you are there for her on a daily basis to help her meet her needs. How can you tell if she is experiencing separation anxiety?

Separation anxiety occurs when your pet has a difficult time spending time on her own or simply without you being nearby. This can occur at any time in your pet’s life, but is more likely to happen if your pet is concerned about you returning home or if she is left for longer periods of time. You will need to make sure to keep an eye out for atypical behavior when you are leaving or evidence of this upon your return home, as this will likely be how you can tell that she is having trouble with your absence.
