How can I tell if my dog has separation anxiety?

Identifying Separation Anxiety in Dogs

Separation anxiety in dogs can manifest in various ways. Common signs include excessive barking or howling when left alone, destructive behavior like chewing or digging, urination or defecation indoors when the owner is away, pacing or restlessness, and attempting to escape. Some dogs may also exhibit physical symptoms like drooling, panting, or trembling. To determine if your dog has separation anxiety, observe their behavior when you are about to leave or when you are away. Consult with a veterinarian or a professional dog behaviorist for a proper diagnosis and to create a treatment plan tailored to your dog's needs.
