Dogs need love and attention and when you need to go to work, they can feel a little lonely. However, there are plenty of things you can do to keep your pet happy if you have to leave them for long periods during the day.

 

Take note of the following five things:

 

1. Take them for a walk before hand

Make sure you bring your dog for a walk before you leave them so that they will be more relaxed and calmer for the day.

 

2. Make sure they are fed

You don’t want to allow your dog go hungry so make sure you feed them before you leave. You can also leave a treat stuffed in a toy to distract them while you’re gone, if you like.

 

3. Leave out a bowl of water

Leave out a bowl of water where your dog can reach it so that they don’t become thirsty during the day.

 

4. Organise a dog walker

If you are going to be leaving them for long periods for a good portion of the week, you might want to organise a dog walker to take them out for an hour a day. It is not good for your pet to hold their faeces and urine for too long and they will benefit from the exercise.

 

5. Leave out some toys

Dogs can develop behavioural issues if they are bored, so leave out toys that they can play with.
