"Is my pet happy?"
This is a question that many dog owners ask themselves.
It would seem that it is impossible to determine the level of happiness of a four-legged friend.
In fact, there are several signs that indicate that a dog is completely satisfied with his life.
If your pet exhibits the following behavioral traits, then everything is fine: you are a truly loving and caring owner, so your pet is happy with you.
Activity
A happy dog is active and loves to play.
If your four-legged friend used to be just like this, but has now become lazy and indifferent, then this is a clear cause for concern.
It is possible that the dog has stopped being happy for some reason: due to stress or illness.
Good appetite
A pet that is completely satisfied with life and does not face any serious illnesses, loves to eat and does not refuse food.
Good sleep
A healthy and happy dog sleeps approximately 12-14 hours a day.
In puppies and older dogs this figure may be higher.
Position of the ears
Pay attention to your pet's hearing organs. The position of your dog's ears should be natural.
If so, the animal is relaxed and happy. If not, the four-legged friend is tense.
Relaxed look
This look of the dog indicates its calmness. The animal feels comfortable next to the owner.
For reference
Happiness is a state that corresponds to the greatest internal satisfaction with the conditions of one’s existence, the fullness and meaningfulness of life, the fulfillment of one’s calling, and self-realization.
