Recent years have seen a huge increase in the number of furry friends in our households. But with many of us returning to the office after so long at home, separation anxiety is a real issue for dog owners in particular.
We’re joined on The Pet Perspective this week by the founder of BorrowMyDoggy,
Rikke Rosenlund
. She discusses solutions to give your pup the perfect care while you’re away, and shares the personal inspiration behind BorrowMyDoggy.
We know finding petcare is one of the most stressful parts of being an owner. We'll be discussing some of the options owners have in this episode of The Pet Perspective, and our upcoming episode. You can listen to all episodes of the podcast on your favourite podcast platforms.
