SO True!  I'm going out to eat tonight for a birthday celebration and all I can think about is getting back home to my dogs LOL

@monicakm  I can relate as I miss my westie when I am gone......

We LOVE our Golden Retriever!  I'm home a lot, but when I'm out I think about her quite a bit.  I guess I carry her in my heart.  ❤

I am looking for help with separation anxiety for my 17 yo dog.  When I am out of the house, he paces back and forth constantly.  This started about two years ago.  He's deaf so leaving the tv on doesn't help.  I have tried CBD calming chews, Composure and from the vet a pheromone collar.  None of it helps. I'm now waiting from the vet a powder to sprinkle on his food, this is not a prescription sedative. The vet seems reluctant to prescribe a sedative.  I live alone and have a security camera where I can check on him.  Any advice?  I'm not out of the house a lot but I do go out to dinner once in a while and feel so guilty leaving my dog alone.  I have two cats and occasionally dog sit my daughter's dog.  It doesn't matter that there is animal company for him...he wants his mom.  Help!

You might want to ask your vet but our vet suggested Benadryl when our older dog first came here. He had separation anxiety when I left the house. He's fine now.

Just a thought--but have you tried the "tunder shirt" for dogs?  I've read where that helps with anxiety and it doesn't have to be a storm. Good luck.
