1-800-PetMeds® To Help Pet Parents Stay Connected With the Watch Your Pet, Toss A Treat Sweepstakes Delray Beach, Florida, November 04, 2020 – After a long summer of snuggles with your pet, pet parents might find themselves spending more time away from home again, whether they're going back to work or they're expecting to have a busy holiday season. Lately, veterinarians around the country have reported an uptick in cats and dogs suffering from separation anxiety. If pet parents will be spending less time with pets, pet parents can help them adjust by making the most of the time they do have with their pets. That way, pets will be more likely to relax when pet parents are not around. A great idea for pet parents that love unwinding at home with shows and movies is to play with their cat or dog instead of sitting on the couch while watching. Commercial breaks can also be used as short training sessions instead of fast-forwarding.
“Get your family involved to make sure your pets are still getting plenty of love and attention. Your kids can play hide and seek with your pets while you handle your online Christmas shopping,” says Larissa Schenck, Director of Marketing at 1-800-PetMeds®. “Or, instead of driving around to look at holiday decorations, you can bundle up and take your family for a long neighborhood dog walk.” When pet parents can’t be home with their pets, they can be monitored for signs of separation anxiety with a Furbo Pet Camera. It has two-way audio so pet parents can chat with pets during breaks at work, and pet parents can even launch treats at them to reward good behavior when they're behaving appropriately.
