Published on April 28, 2023, the article, “Tips for Leaving Your Dog at Home When You Travel,” includes expert advice from Hannah Gillihan, a certified dog trainer at Zoom Room.

The article addresses the challenges pet owners face when they have to leave their dogs at home while traveling.

  • Distracting with Toys: Zoom Room offers a range of toys like Kongs, lick mats, and slow-feeder puzzles that can keep a dog occupied and mentally stimulated during the owner’s absence.

The article also emphasizes the importance of a proper reunion between the dog and owner, citing a study that found dogs experience higher levels of oxytocin when greeted both verbally and with physical touch.
