How to Understand That Your Dog is Stressed: Signs That Owners Don't Always Notice
It's not just people who can be overcome by emotions - animals are also capable of feelings.
Sometimes, in addition to joy, sadness, boredom and other feelings, dogs experience stress. If you ignore this condition of the pet, it may not have the best effect on its psyche and health.
Signs of Stress in Dogs
If you notice that your dog increasingly can't wait until he gets outside to do his business, he's probably stressed. So don't scold your dog for finding a puddle or a pile on the rug - take him to the vet instead.
In addition, stressed dogs often refuse to follow commands or are reluctant to do so the first time.
Severe stress or anxiety experienced by the tail can lead to severe shedding. If a small amount of hair falls out, this is not a reason to worry, but in the case of excessive “baldness” it is worth sounding the alarm.
You should also worry when your four-legged friend is constantly scratching himself, but no parasites or allergic reactions have been detected.
Another sign is shaking, as if the dog has just come out of the water.
Finally, it is worth taking a closer look at your pet if it constantly yawns, chews on everything it can find, squats and tucks its tail, barks and howls incessantly, stamps its feet or walks in circles, etc.
