Leaving your furry friend alone at home while you’re at work can be stressful — for both you and your dog! 🐶 But with the right setup, you can ensure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable all day long.
At Pets - A Family Owned Pet Store, we believe every pet deserves the best care, even when you’re not around. Here are our top tips to keep your dog safe while you're at work:
1. Provide a Secure Kennel or Crate
Using a well-ventilated, comfortable kennel helps create a safe space for your dog.
A good kennel prevents injuries, destructive chewing, and anxiety.
Choose a size that allows your dog to stand up, turn around, and stretch out.

2. Set Up a Comfortable Environment
Make sure your dog’s space has:
-
Fresh water available at all times 🥤
-
A cozy bed or mat for naps 💤
-
Their favorite toys to keep them occupied 🎾
This setup helps your dog feel calm and entertained while you're away.
3. Leave Interactive Toys
Toys that challenge your dog’s mind, like treat-dispensing balls or puzzles, keep them busy.
It helps reduce boredom and the risk of destructive behavior.

4. Hire a Dog Walker (if possible)
If your workday is long, hiring a trusted dog walker or asking a neighbor to check in can break up the day.
A short walk or playtime session can lift your dog’s mood and provide physical exercise!
5. Monitor with a Pet Camera
Today, pet cameras let you keep an eye on your dog remotely. Some even allow you to talk to your pet during the day!
Final Thoughts 🐶❤️
Keeping your dog safe while you’re at work is all about preparation, security, and a little extra love.
By setting up a comfortable space and giving them the right supplies, your dog can feel just as happy at home as when you’re there!
