Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager.
From what 0 shares on The Healthy Voyager, common signs of an unhappy dog (or pet) include:
- Change in body language: Looking “miserable” or droopy, but more importantly, a stiff body, tucked tail, or no tail wag
- Low energy or unusually sleepy and subdued when they are normally active
- Behavior changes from pain: becoming agitated, irritable, or more aggressive
- Signs of boredom or frustration: destructive behavior, excess digging, or restlessness
- Stress-related issues from poor diet or lack of exercise and mental stimulation
If you’re noticing one or more of these, especially suddenly, it is worth checking diet, exercise, mental stimulation, and seeing a vet to rule out pain.
What specific behaviors are you seeing in your pet right now?
