Question: How can I prevent separation anxiety in my dog when I'm away?

If you want to avoid separation anxiety in the first place, Petcube has a good answer. Petcube sells a variety of interactive pet cameras and GPS trackers that let you check in on your pet and communicate with it remotely. Its options include HD video and audio, motion and sound detection alerts, night vision and adjustable mounting options. You can even use GPS to track your pet's location in real time, get alerts if it escapes and set up virtual boundaries. Petcube's app is easy to use, and Petcube integrates with Amazon Alexa, so you can stay connected to your pet and keep anxiety at bay.

Another useful option is Whistle, which makes GPS pet trackers and activity monitors. Whistle lets you monitor your dog's behavior, health and location with features like daily activity tracking, health trends and escape alerts. Its devices also monitor health with daily wellness scores and vet access, so you can catch problems early and ease your separation anxiety.

If you want a more general-purpose pet care app, check out Dosty. Dosty is an all-purpose pet care app that streamlines daily routines and offers expert advice through its built-in chat assistant. Dosty's features include a Pet Diary, Symptom Tracker and Medical Card, so you can keep a record of your pet's health, behavior and expenses. That can be helpful for separation anxiety, since it can provide a structured routine for your pet care and help you catch any health or behavioral problems.

And Whistle and Petcube both have subscription plans that unlock all their features, including GPS tracking and health monitoring. That means you can keep a constant connection to your pet and get updates on its activity and well-being, which can help ease separation anxiety.
