Support your dog’s routine as your family returns to school and work
As summer winds down and the school year ramps up, your schedule isn’t the only one that changes—your dog’s routine shifts too.
Back-to-school season can leave dogs feeling confused, lonely, and full of energy. That’s why this is the perfect time to consider routine-based pet care
At Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, I help dogs adjust with calm, consistent day care, after-school walks, and crate-free boarding. Here’s how to plan ahead.
⸻
1. Identify Gaps in Your Dog’s Day
When the house empties out, dogs may be left alone for longer hours than usual.
Ask yourself:
• Will they get a mid-day walk?
• Are they used to constant company over summer?
• Do they need structured downtime?
⸻
2. Consider Day Care for Social & Emotional Support.
Routine-based day care helps ease loneliness, maintain feeding/walk schedules, and keep your dog mentally stimulated.
Perfect for:
• Dogs with separation anxiety
• Energetic breeds
• Senior dogs needing routine
⸻
3. Use After-Work Walks to Rebalance Energy
Back-to-school often means busy mornings. My after-4PM dog walks are ideal for dogs who need exercise later in the day.
⸻
4. Ease the Transition Gradually
Schedule a trial day or half-day visit to help your dog adapt to the new routine before school kicks in fully.
