Hi all! My dog Rocky seems down when we go on trips together trips and spend some days away from home. Do you think dogs feel homesick? Any tips to help him feel better?

Hi Dave!

I think dogs can definitely miss the comforts of home. When we go away with Cooper I give him extra snuggle time and try to keep our routine as normal as possible, I definitely see that it's difficult for him to fully relax. Maybe bringing a familiar blanket or toy for Rocky during trips could help him feel more at ease. Hang in there he’ll bounce back with some extra love!
