To help your Pug with separation anxiety, start by easing them into being alone. Leave them for short periods, gradually increasing the time. Create a comforting routine—give them a treat or toy when you leave to make your departure positive. Ensure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation beforehand to tire them out. Leave a cozy space with your scent, like a blanket or shirt. Avoid making a big deal of coming and going, as this can heighten their anxiety. Interactive toys or puzzle feeders can keep them distracted. If it’s severe, consult your vet for professional advice or anxiety treatments.
