DON'T LEAVE ME!!

Going on summer vacations are fun for owners, but… not so much for the pet we leave behind.

Here are some options for those not able to travel with your furry friends:

- Take your dog to a kennel.
A kennel provides a safe place with dog runs and/or cage options. Your pet will be by itself on a hard surface.

- Schedule someone to come to your house, feed your dog and let him out daily.
Be aware that your dog will likely be alone for 21 to 23 hours a day. If your dog can last 15 to 18 hours a night without having an accident and is not stressed out by being left alone, this option might be for you.

- Find someone to stay in your house with your pet.

Dogs spend most of the time watching the door and waiting for you to return. They may have stress reactions to your absence even though someone else is there. Ask how much of the day he/she will be at the house with your pet. Have the pet sitter come over, visit with your dog and ask any questions prior to your trip.

- Have a pet sitter watch your dog at his/her house.
Dogs do well with this type of care. Unlike at your house, you don’t belong there. They do not keep looking for you. They attach themselves to the sitter and adjust to a new routine.

Teddy's celeb vet Dr. Patrick Mahaney has some advice for Teddy Hilton reader Caitlin who asks:

My dog has serious separation anxiety. Anytime we leave he barks and cries. When we come home he freaks out and makes this high pitch scream and sometimes he will urinate on the floor. We have tried the leaving and coming back multiple times but it has not worked. We do not know what to do!! I feel so bad when I leave him! Any ideas??

Answer:

Having a canine companion with separation anxiety can be a challenge for all family members, regardless of the number of paws they possess.

How old is your dog? How long has this behavior been going on? Is the behavior worsening?

All the above questions are important in our efforts to resolve your dog's behavior issues.
A starting off point is to have an examination with your dog's veterinarian to see if there are any health reasons as to why the behavior is happening. Diagnostics, such as blood testing, urinalysis, xrays are recommended, especially since he is exhibiting inappropriate urination.

It is very challenging to resolve such anxiety unless you commit to consistently using positive reinforcement techniques. Praise and a yummy/healthy food treat when he exhibits good behavior can help to refocus him and supersede his desire to act as you describe.

Good luck, Caitlin!

WHAT? HOW? HUH?

This cat pulls some incredible Mission Impossible inspired moves to open a French door.

Sure that's crazy. But what makes this video so great is how many newly freed cats run out the open door!

This video leaves us with so many questions.
