Whether you got a pet at the beginning of the pandemic or already had one, we can ALL agree that our pets have become more attached to us since working from home.
Now that the world is opening back up and people are headed back to the actual office we wanted to share some of our favorite tips to get your pets ready!
Even though you think you’re going to have a rough time back at the office, your pets will probably have even more separation anxiety, but doing these things could help them out:
- Put them in a separate room to get acclimated to being alone for longer increments
- Set your pet up with a familiar, safe space that’s cozy
- Desensitize them to departure cues like keys jingling
- Don’t fuss over goodbyes and hellos. It may be tempting.. but don’t
- Carve out pre-work quality time with your pet. A walk is great for a dog
- Continue to be consistent with leaving them treats and toys even after the transition phase
- Leave soothing background noise on
