I have friends that had a dog who would literally tear up the house whenever they were gone. He was a gentle, meek dog (cocker spaniel) when they were home, but as soon as they left he would start howling (I know, we would hear it) and start chewing up stuff. They got another dog, hoping that would help but it didn't. He finally died of old age a few years ago. I'm sure they would have loved to have been able to give this dog something to treat the separation anxiety.
