Worried About Separation Anxiety When You Return to Work?

Share with fellow dog lovers!

Are you worried about your dog suffering from separation anxiety when you return to work? After a year of so much togetherness, millions of dogs are anticipated to be affected by separation anxiety when businesses and schools fully reopen and pet parents return to a pre-pandemic schedule. DOGTV conducted a survey of over 1,000 dog parents across America. What they found was stunning:

  • 58% of dogs are currently showing symptoms of separation anxiety when parents prepare to leave the home.
  • 45% display symptoms of separation anxiety when left home alone.
  • Yet, 62% of pet parents are not doing anything to prepare their pets for more alone time.
  • Pandemic pups were 20% more likely to have separation anxiety when left home alone, compared to dogs adopted before the pandemic. 
  • 65% of dog parents aren’t currently comfortable leaving their pup home alone for the duration of an eight-hour workday. Only 14% feel ready to let Fido be alone for more than nine hours.

We were excited to see that there’s a free event planned to address this problem. DOGTV is hosting a free virtual event convening the world’s leading pet behavioral therapists, veterinarians, trainers and pet service providers. Your Dog’s New Normal will air Saturday, June 12th at 4 PM ET. A preview of the event is available here.

  • Certified Dog Trainer and Animal Behavior Specialist Mikkel Becker
  • and dozens more

Topics will help pet parents better understand the issue of separation anxiety by teaching them everything from how to recognize the signs, to training tips and ways to address the issue moving forward.

There will also be appearances by pup loving celebrities including Jane Lynch, Scott Hamilton, Emmylou Harris, Skip BaylessRenée Felice Smith and more. The full list of speakers is available here

“While dogs loved this past year spending unlimited hours with their humans, the pandemic has left them vulnerable to developing a fear of being home alone,” says Gilad Neumann, CEO of DOGTV. “We want to do everything we can to ensure pets stay comfortable at home when their parents are gone. I’m excited to offer pet parents an opportunity to hear from top animal experts so they can learn how to identify the signs of anxiety and ultimately prevent separation anxiety in their dogs.”

Your Dog’s New Normal will be hosted on DOGTV, which can be viewed through streaming, cable, or online, and does not require a DOGTV subscription to attend. DOGTV is partnering with the North Shore Animal League to raise awareness around separation anxiety in dogs. From now until the end of the year, DOGTV will donate $10 to the North Shore Animal League for every new subscription that uses the code NEWNORMAL during sign-up.
