Helping your pup adjust to the new routine

Helping your pup adjust to the new routine As families head back to school, Central Bark Charlotte-Matthews shares how to spot and ease separation anxiety in your family dog.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - The transition back to school brings big routine changes that can trigger anxiety in our four-legged family members. Central Bark Charlotte-Matthews takes a whole dog care approach by helping to support their physical, mental, and emotional well-being during this shift.

Watch for signs of stress or separation anxiety - such as destructive chewing, panting, pacing, or drooling when you prepare to leave and ease their anxiety by leaving the house for short, frequent intervals to teach them you will always return.
