Help for Dog's Separation Anxiety
Chamomile tea works very well for separation Anxiety, and is safe for him. Dump it out of the teabag, and use 1 teaspoon for small breed. Mix it in a *little* canned food, such as Mighty Dog, or Cesar's, and give about 30 minutes before he needs to relax.
As he learns to cope, and to trust that you are coming back, he won't need the tea. My vet recommended this to me many years ago and it really works for my dog's separation anxiety.
