Our furry friends are masters at hiding their feelings, but there are signs that can indicate your loyal companion isn’t feeling their best emotionally. In this #LivelongTip, we share some clues to identify if your four-legged friend needs some extra love and attention:
- Change in appetite: If they suddenly stop eating or eat much less than usual, it could indicate emotional distress.
- Low energy: If they seem more subdued, disinterested in playing or walking, it might be a sign of sadness.
- Isolation: If your pet is constantly seeking a quiet corner to hide or shows less sociability, they could be going through a tough time.
- Behavioral changes: Watch for drastic shifts from their normal behavior—like being more restless or more quiet than usual.
Remember, each dog is unique and may show sadness differently. If you notice several of these signs, don’t hesitate to give them extra affection and attention! Pets also need cuddles and understanding.
