With more people getting vaccinated and returning to the office many pets are experiencing a big change in routine after months of having constant companionship.

Hannah Stember of Best Friends Animal Society shares some advice on how to prepare your pets for the change.

"Rewarding with calm behavior is great and again practice. Practice makes perfect, so just start leaving for short periods of time, running essential errands, going for a short walk, and just start building the time you're gone from your house longer and longer and longer, just so they could start getting used to that full day you might be gone," said Stember.
