BREAK IT TO YOUR PET GENTLY
WHEN YOU GO BACK TO WORK AND
THE KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

They may not miss watching you do endless video calls and emails, but pets have been loving the extra time together with you and your family. As routines change, kids go back to school and you're likely to go back to work, we're here to help with the transition.

MANAGE ANXIETY

Calming supplements or a little CBD in the beginning may help your dog or cat stay calm while getting used to the new routine.

GIVE THEM A COZY PLACE TO REST

Make sure your pet has a safe place to rest when you're away - like a bed, crate, or cat furniture. You can use positive reinforcement to help them feel comfortable in their space.

SPEND MORE QUALITY TIME TOGETHER

Give them your full attention before and after work. Strengthen your bond with some morning playtimes or longer evening walks. And show them a little extra love with treats.

HIRE A DOG WALKER

It’s a great way to keep up the extra exercise your dog has been getting. Midday contact and exercise can also help to alleviate stress. But if you do need to reduce walks, consider cutting their calories slightly to prevent weight gain.

HELP YOUR CAT ADJUST

Dogs aren’t the only pets that will miss you. Help your cat adjust by hiding treats around the house or leaving them interactive toys to play with. Make sure to also give your cat your full attention when you get home from work.

BE PATIENT

Pets can take a couple of weeks to adjust to a new routine. If your pet is still struggling after week two, call a trainer for some professional help and guidance.

WARD OFF BOREDOM WITH CHEWS

Chews help combat boredom and stress by keeping your pet's brain engaged. They also provide nutrients and can even boost dental health. Check out our chew guide to find the perfect option for your pet.

PRIORITIZE PLAYTIME

More than just fun, play exercises your pet's body and brain - een when they're home alone. Help them feel fulfilled by finding the perfect toy for their play style.
