With employees spending more time than ever at home, their relationships with their pets has strengthened. As such, employees are concerned about how their furry friends will fare when they have to return to a physical work environment.

Three in 10 employees surveyed by Banfield Pet Hospital say they have adopted a new cat or dog during the pandemic. About 38% say their main concern about returning to work is that their pet will face separation anxiety if left home alone all day.
