Dogs are naturally playful animals. That’s why, when our dog appears more lethargic than usual, we become concerned.
In this #LivelongTip, we’ll review some tips to improve their mood.
If your dog has suddenly changed its behavior and seems sad when it wasn’t before, follow these steps:
- Check their health. Examine and touch their entire body (legs, nose, mouth, ears, etc.) to see if there’s anything stuck or any painful wound. A vet visit can help rule out health issues.
- If they seem healthy, try offering an activity they love. For example, do they want to go for a walk? Do they get happy if you offer them some food? Do they want to play with a ball?
- Speak calmly to them, just as you normally do. Never shout or force them to play or move if they don’t want to.
- If nothing works, let your dog rest and try again later.
- Also keep in mind that older dogs don’t have the same vitality and energy as young ones, so it’s normal for them to spend more time lying down and resting.
