18.01.2022 Pet Tips - Returning to Work Our pets have all enjoyed spending more time with us at home, but now it might be time for you to transition back to working in the office. Some pets may be content to be home alone again, but others may show signs of separation anxiety. If you are worried here are some tips to make it easier on them and you.... Introduce time apart slowly, say 10 minutes and gradually increase this time so that you can be working from home but separated from your pet. Ensure that feeding times can be maintained when you are back at work, so start adjusting the timing now. Maintain the daily walk that both of you have enjoyed, it is so beneficial for your pet and yourself to have physical exercise and it's even better together!
