Imagine having the best summer ever. Love, attention and playtime all day for many weeks. Now imagine all of that coming to an abrupt end. Suddenly, you are spending hours alone.
This is what many beloved pets face when their human siblings begin a new school year. It can be especially difficult when a family member goes off to college.
Like us, our pets can experience stress, anxiety and depression when the family or home dynamic changes. If not addressed, these issues can compound and may lead to separation anxiety and even behavioral issues.
Signs your pet may have the back to school blues:
- Potty accidents in the house
- Excessive barking
- Irritable responses, such as biting or growling
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Uncharacteristically destructive behavior
Tips to help your pet adjust:
- Exercise and play. For dogs, extra walks, extra time throwing the ball/Frisbee/toy. For cats, longer interactive play sessions, hide catnip infused toys around the house so they can ‘hunt’ for their ‘prey.’
- Work to establish a routine. Pets thrive on routine. Try to serve meals at the same time every day. Try to go for walks around the same time every day. Have play sessions around the same time every day.
- Extra love and affection.
- Manage your own stress. Dogs and cats respond to our hormone and emotional changes.
- Help instill calm, balance and ease with Treatibles hard chews, soft chewables, capsules and dropper bottles featuring Organic Full Spectrum Hemp Oil with naturally occurring CBD.
