Has your four-legged friend been yawning too much lately?

Of course, this can be explained by severe fatigue and lack of sleep in the animal.

Try to ensure that your pet gets enough sleep and does not experience increased physical stress.

You followed these recommendations, but your dog still yawns frequently?

Then know: the phenomenon is not explained by the fact that your four-legged friend is very tired and cannot fully rest.

Why does a dog yawn often?

If it’s not about fatigue and lack of sleep, then it’s most likely about stress.

Apparently, your four-legged friend is very worried about something.

Perhaps it is due to a recent move. Or perhaps it is due to the arrival of a new family member.

It is possible that the dog is afraid of some loud sounds.

To solve the problem, you need to calm your pet down. Try to make the house quieter. And pet your four-legged friend more often and play with him.

If frequent yawning persists, take your dog to the vet: it is possible that the animal has developed health problems.
