Pets with separation anxiety experience distress when they cannot be with their family. It is a medical problem that has several underlying factors, and is commonly experienced by many of our pets. The signs that pets exhibit may vary from being very severe to more mild signs that may be missed. This webinar with Veterinary Specialist of Behavioural Medicine, Dr Kersti Seksel will cover how to recognise separation anxiety and what can be done to help your pet cope better with separation.

Pet insurance can help by covering a portion of the eligible vet bill if the unexpected happens. Because it is difficult to predict the costs of veterinary care, it can help to have measures in place to help prepare for the unexpected.
