Pets provide companionship, but their impact goes far beyond giving their owners a sense of closeness or solidarity. The animals we share our lives with are so much more than friends; they’re important and valued members of our immediate family. We love them because they make us feel good and give our lives meaning. When we reciprocate their unconditional love, we become the best versions of ourselves. Add to this the immense benefits to every aspect of human health and that’s the transformative power of therapy animals. 

With another summer break over and school back in session, your cat or dog might be wondering what the morning fuss and rush is all about and where everyone is going. Our furry sidekicks are creatures of habit, and they thrive on consistent routines. If your pet has become accustomed to extra TLC over the summer, he might experience separation anxiety when his schedule changes.

At Animal Medical Center, we understand that mental and emotional health is extremely important to your pet’s overall wellbeing. Our caring team has compiled some tips for helping your pet adapt to a new routine.
