– Leave the radio on so your pet has a background noise: there is specialized music for animals available on ICalmPet<\/em><\/p>\n

– Leave the television open: there is a specialized television for dogs (DogTV<\/em>)<\/p>\n

– Get devices such as Petcube<\/em> (interactive camera) and IFetch<\/em> (toy that launches the ball to your pet and allows him to exercise -during your absence)<\/p>\n

– Buy a Kong<\/em>: non-toxic rubber toy with a hollow in the middle to place food or treats inside<\/p>\n

– Leave one or more toys that your pets do not have access to when you are with him<\/p>\n

– Hide treats in the house so that your pet spends time looking for them<\/p>\n
