Your pet may require certain training techniques to help them become more comfortable with being alone. Your vet can recommend certain tricks and tips to help your pet get used to being on their own while you are away.

If they do not adapt, there may be other medical issues that could be causing the anxiety. Your pet should have regular check ups with your vet to make sure they are in good health and are not at risk of injury if they are left alone. You do not want your pet to become sick or ill while you are away. If your dog still displays severe separation anxiety, where they urinate or defecate in inappropriate places, exhibit destructive behavior, or have intense vocalizations like whining, barking, meowing, or howling, you may follow up with your vet. Your vet may recommend making adjustments to your pet’s daily habits and training so you can both deal with the separation anxiety in a proactive way.
Ask your vet for advice. Make sure your pet is healthy before you leave them alone. Follow up with your vet if there are issues.
