A new survey is shedding light on some of the biggest pet parent anxieties around this once-in-a-lifetime transition. Now more than ever, dog and cat owners are looking for advice on leaving their pet home alone more often and how to relieve stress through pet care solutions that help pet owners and their furry friends adjust to their new day-to-day routines.
On Tues., June 29, Dr. Lippman will be available to share her perspective about this “new normal” as a veterinarian and a pet parent. As part of the interview opportunity, she’ll also provide solutions to help ease the transition for pets, such as:

 How pet parents can prepare to spend longer periods of time away from pets
 How to recognize signs of a stressed pet when returning to work or going on vacation
 How to simplify pet care and streamline pet parents’ routines

Dr. Lippman will also announce a special social media contest encouraging pet parents to share their favorite video or photo of their pet. The contest aims to help pet parents focus less on the stress of leaving their pet home alone and more on the reasons they love coming home to their four-legged pals each day. Winners will receive 12 weeks’ worth of pet care services to help ease the transition, which may include dog walking, doggie daycare and more.
