It has been an extremely stressful and unfamiliar time for us this year, and this change in daily life has had an impact on our beloved pets. Being home for longer hours and limited social contact has disrupted our cats and dogs in their daily lives. Some of them have loved it, others have struggled. It is time to be kind. This means kindness to our four-legged friends. Change can be scary and preparing for it is the best way to manage our dogs and cats today and the future. As we emerge from lockdown restrictions, many people are returning to work and leaving their pets to long hours again alone, for some this is a relief, but for many pets this is a fresh abandonment, and a loss of companionship and entertainment.
