The length of time a dog can be left alone depends on the individual dog but we advise that they are left for no longer than four hours so they have opportunities to exercise, go to the toilet, and spend time with people.

Experts recommend four hours as the maximum time period.

The length of time individual dogs can be left varies, depending on factors such as age, training, previous experience of being left alone, breed or type, lifestyle and housing conditions.

However, no dog should routinely be left on its own for prolonged periods.

Dogs owners should not leave their dogs alone for more than four hours at a time, according to the RSPCA. The animal welfare charity has issued this guidance after they carried out a survey recently.
