We not only do that, but my wife leaves the TV on. We have to be careful when we leave for church on Sunday. That’s when the local station switches to a preacher program. That would be considered animal cruelty.
We change the channel to something that makes more sense like Ancient Aliens. Our dog loves that program.
I leave the TV on for one of my dogs. Separation anxiety and all. Seems to work. And yes, I DO tell them (that are in at the time) that I will be right back. Just habit to address the household, especially when they ALL stare at me in clear offence/disgust, totally aghasted that I am actually NOT going into the Kitchen…
I tell my deaf dog I am going out and give her a treat. I have waited a little bit. She will take the treat, eat it, and go take a nap. I think it would be rude to sneak out of the house and not let the pets know.

Then my wife and grandkid, I usually don’t have to hunt for them

Always, explain where I’m going, who with, when I’ll be back and probably what I’ll be bringing back to her.

I tell her how long we’ll be gone, hold up 1-4 fingers, because she can count to four. (4 paws cleaned off after rain and baths). LOL ;-)
