Cats, dogs, birds, and other animals reaped the rewards of having humans nearby for much of the day. As the world continues to open up and people are returning to their offi ces and schools, pets who have grown accustomed to having company all day long may be in for a shock. Concerned pet owners can take various steps to help keep their pets oc- cupied and content while their human companions are away from home. Get a buddy When two pets get to- gether, the opportunity for play increases exponen- tially. Animals can keep themselves company and hopefully out of trouble. A single pet may experience separation anxiety when his owner goes away to work or school, and that may result in damaging behavior like chewing, scratching or even soiling in inappropriate places. Provide puzzling toys Keeping pets' brains ac- tive can reduce instances of boredom. PetMD sug- gests food puzzle toys that can be stuffed with treats and involve brain power to unlock the food rewards. . Expend energy Prior to leaving for work or school, pet parents can help pets expend some energy so they're more in- clined to sleep during the day. The Animal Behavior College suggests an ex- tra 20 minutes of walking each day may be enough to tire out most breeds. Working dogs, such as shepherds, pointers and setters, may need 40 or more minutes to burn off energy. Cat owners can play with their cats in- doors, but generally cats will lounge around during the day anyway. Provide white noise Pets may have grown ac- customed to the sounds of an active house, so white noise can fi ll the void own- ers' absences create. Turn on the television or radio. Pet fountains, fans and other devices can create noises to keep pets con- tent. Introduce new toys Keep a cache of new toys and rotate them on a regular basis. Pets may become so interested in the bevy of new toys that they fail to even realize their owners are gone for much of the day. Make rest enticing Invest in a new and cozy pet bed (or cage bedding) that's too comfortable for pets to ignore. Pets who grew accus- tomed to constant com- panionship during the pandemic may need to readjust to a quiet home. Owners can try various strategies to help pets during this adjustment pe- riod.
