Petco’s Darris Cooper On Keeping Your Pets Safe During COVID-19 & Making A Pet-Friendly Workspace
Many of us are still adjusting to “the new normal” that COVID-19 has produced, but we can’t let our family members from the animal kingdom be an afterthought. We are not only sheltering in place but also we are also limiting our time outdoors, social distancing ourselves from others and working from home. All of these things combined present a major life change for our pets, too.
Just as humans are going stir-crazy and seeking ways to stay engaged and entertained while stuck at home, the same is true for our pets. So it is more important than ever to find new tricks to help keep them both physically and mentally-stimulated. Pets’ safety should also take priority, and there are dangers lurking in our home office setups that can be harmful to their health.
