Preparing dogs for the return to school can help ensure a smooth transition for both pets and their owners. Here are some key things to consider:
Routine: Gradually adjust your dog's schedule to align with school hours.
Socialization: Arrange playdates or outings to keep your dog socialized while kids are at school.
Exercise: Establish a daily exercise routine to keep your dog active and engaged.
Supplies: Ensure you have enough food, treats, and toys to keep your dog entertained.
Emergency Contacts: Update your pet's emergency contacts and vet information. Arrange a pet sitter to drop in for potty breaks if no one if home for an extended period of time.
