Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your concern. I would recommend getting her used to her crate more frequently, even if you are leaving the house for 5 minutes. Providing plenty of toys for her to play with such as the Kong toys filled with peanut butter may keep her occupied for a period of time. Below are some recommended products that you can find online quite easily. I would try these as well and see if this helps alleviate the separation anxiety. If there is no improvement and it does not resolve, I would discuss other medical options with your veterinarian. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further! 1.
