In this episode I’m talking about Puggie separation anxiety. Apparently, research has found that ‘one in every 4-6 dogs’ have separation anxiety and that it is ‘more common in older dogs’.

What’s more, it can present in different forms and at different times. I’ve experienced Pug-to-Pug separation anxiety between Winston and Charles, and Pug-to-Hooman separation anxiety with Louis and now Kenji, and surprise surprise, no two Pugs are the same when it comes to displaying their anxiety!

But the great thing is, there are ways to reduce the impact so that they can live their Pug life to the fullest and we’ll cover all the options in this episode.

In this episode I’ll cover:

• 01:15 1 in every 4-6 dogs have separation anxiety

• 02:35 What is Puggie separation anxiety

• 03:40 Steps to help your Puggie overcome separation anxiety

• 07:10 When to get professional help

• 08:35 My experiences with my Puggies
