Cat and Dog Separation Anxiety Diagnosis (behavior problems)

Diagnosis of Separation Anxiety in Dogs and Cats

Pet separation anxiety is diagnosed when owners find their homes destroyed after they have been away for a while. It is also diagnosed when neighbors complain that your pet whines, cries, meows, and paces when you’re away. In-home videos help diagnose separation anxiety by revealing pets crying, hiding, looking despondent while you’re away.

You can try to catch your cat or dog doing something when you leave by pretending to leave and then waiting to see or hear what happens. Mostly it starts with crying or whimpering, and then progresses to scratching at the door. This usually makes the pet owner very sad, and causes distress. Don't worry, these feelings are normal.
