LEAVING A STRESSED PET HOME ALONE

For cats, a tall cat tree or condo is great at increasing confidence. Comfort Zone Calming Diffusers help too. They release odorless, drug-free vapors that mimic calming cat pheromones. Comfort Zone Calming Diffusers help your cats feel happy, relaxed, and safe while reducing unwanted behaviors.
"I have seen those Comfort Zone products help," Van Winkle said. "I can't guarantee it will work for every cat. But I think that's part of it—that natural way of helping them overcome some of the stress."
Offer Distractions During the Day
If your dog is having a really tough time adjusting, try hiring a dog walker to stop by during the first part of the day. On the other hand, cats don't always do so well with strangers, so try a different tactic with them. Setting up a window perch so your cat can enjoy the world outside is a great solution that keeps them entertained all day.

Remember, different pets will adjust at different speeds. Some very confident pets may adjust in a couple of days, while others may take weeks.
"Don't assume one bad day means your pet is broken," Van Winkle advises. "If you're willing to put work in, it's going to be resolvable most of the time."
The key is to introduce the change in small doses and remember that every adjustment takes time. If you have any questions, it's perfectly okay to talk with your veterinarian or a trainer. Just have patience and lots of love. Over time, your cat or dog will adjust back to the "old normal."
