Separation Anxiety

The Comfort Cuddler
You're getting ready to drop off your furbaby for a stay while you travel. One of your main concerns will be separation anxiety (probably for both of you).

Dogs become very attached to their people and if they're not used to staying with other people it can be stressful for the first day or two. For that reason we have always asked our first time visitors to bring something from home that has their scent. It's really easy, just wear an old T-shirt for a day or bring along a pillow case you've slept on. Your familiar scent will decrease your dog's anxiety at being away from you.

Recently, one of the charities we support promoted a really cute "toy" that accomplishes this.

Now you can reduce your dog’s anxiety in an extremely cute, very simple way. The Project Play™ Comfort Cuddler™ helps relax your pet during a stressful situation, like car rides, taking your pup to the dog sitter, crate training, or whenever he or she experiences separation anxiety.
How it works: Your dog LOVES your scent. The canine sense of smell is very strong and helps inform dogs of the world around them. Your smell is one of the most comforting things to your pup. The Comfort Cuddler features a pouch with a mesh window into which you can insert something that smells like you. The Comfort Cuddler becomes a pillow for your pup to relax with and feel soothed by your scent.
 Is this not the cutest thing? And purchasing from iHeartdogs.com helps shelter pets!
