E:9 Separation Anxiety in Dogs and What You Can Do About it

By Mark Drucker Drew Webster

Malena DeMartini

Separation anxiety in dogs can develop during any stage of life and can be very tricky to diagnose. You may not even know your dog suffers from it until someone else, a neighbor perhaps, clues you in! Once properly diagnosed, it can be treated, and while it won't be cured overnight, it can be overcome in months, not years.
