your dog is depressed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many symptoms of canine depression could also be linked to chronic pain and poor health, so if you notice your dog has multiple symptoms, call your vet to first rule out any illness or underlying medical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once those are out of the question, it can be assumed that your dog has depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stress a dog can take on from depression can ultimately lead to medical conditions, so it\u2019s important to seek treatment \u2014 whether it be behavioural or medical \u2014 as soon as you know the diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veterinarians.org\/how-to-tell-if-your-dog-is-depressed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Veterinarians.org<\/a>, symptoms of depression in dogs include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Loss of interest in things that used to bring your dog joy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Reduced activity levels and desire to play<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Oversleeping and sluggishness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Loss or changes in appetite<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Increased irritability<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Inappropriate accidents around the home<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Low mood and sad body language<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Excessive licking for comfort<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Clinginess or social withdrawal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Reduced vocalisation and boisterousness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Uncharacteristic wining or howling (can also be signs of anxiety)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Causes of depression in dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple things can trigger the onset of dog depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Veterinarians.org, depression in dogs is mostly related to their surroundings \u2014 but it can also be connected to old age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ageing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As dogs get older, they typically experience a decline in their ability to function as they used to, and their mental health and brain functionality age with their bodies, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCD) is a condition related to the ageing of a dog\u2019s brain \u2014 which has been compared to dementia or Alzheimer\u2019s in humans \u2014 where the dog experiences cognitive decline, according to PetMD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs with CCD often show signs of depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the inevitable decline in their quality of life, our furry friends can end up experiencing depression in this stage of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, we can\u2019t stop our pups from getting old, but there are resources to determine a dog\u2019s quality of life in their last years and offer guidance on what to talk about with your veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

grief just as humans do, and the loss of a family member, owner or another pet in the house can lead to feelings of depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Empathy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a

changes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any sort of change in the home can trigger depression in dogs since they tend to thrive with routine, and disrupting that routine can upset your pet\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of changes at home can include introducing another pet into the home or welcoming a baby, taking the human\u2019s attention away from the dog and onto the newest addition to the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving to a new home is another environment change that can lead to depression \u2014 moving boxes, staying in a kennel, long periods of moving back and forth, and a change of physical environment can drive your furry friend to become closed off and anxious, Veterinarians.org said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain environmental changes can also lead to separation anxiety, which can cause depression. For example, dogs might have experienced feelings of depression after people started returning to work in person following more than a year of staying at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trauma<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs can experience trauma in ways their owners might not immediately recognise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a dog goes through surgery or has an injury, they\u2019re limited in mobility, and a decrease in activity can trigger a decrease in mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hand-in-hand with environmental changes, your pet can experience trauma from natural disasters that uproot their lives. If there\u2019s a hurricane, fire, earthquake or other disaster, the chances that they will associate fear and anxiety with any similar noises or experiences are high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pets can also experience post-traumatic stress disorder from previous abuse. If you happened to adopt a dog with an upsetting past or a stray dog, they might be carrying a weight of depression due to their life before you rescued them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, retired police dogs or military hounds can experience PTSD from their time in service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d3a08a3ebaef2139b74d456138b31148.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16063\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d3a08a3ebaef2139b74d456138b31148.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d3a08a3ebaef2139b74d456138b31148-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d3a08a3ebaef2139b74d456138b31148-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d3a08a3ebaef2139b74d456138b31148-1x1.jpg 1w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to help a dog with depression<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veterinarians.org shared some ways that can help manage your dog\u2019s depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Create a routine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously stated, dogs thrive on routine, so creating a predictable schedule for your pup will help them feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the routine should include some playtime to help with loneliness and boredom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bond with your pet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs are social and not meant to be reclusive, so putting aside some time for activities that call for quality time can be beneficial for their mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pet\u2019s bond with their owners is the foundation of their trust and feelings of safety and comfort. This can include cuddling, playing catch, exercise, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Give your dog a new friend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog\u2019s depression stems from grief, introducing them to a new pet sibling could help. But, of course, be sure you take the steps to introduce them carefully so there\u2019s no rocky start to the budding friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make their meals exciting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dog might be experiencing a loss of appetite due to depression, and adding an exciting addition to their meals won\u2019t only get them eating but will also boost their mood. New treats or additions to their daily routine can reignite their love for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pup needs a specific diet or is under- or overweight, be sure to contact your vet for recommendations before adding extras on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dcd3dd5b87dff143681bf209730b60e7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16064\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dcd3dd5b87dff143681bf209730b60e7.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dcd3dd5b87dff143681bf209730b60e7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dcd3dd5b87dff143681bf209730b60e7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/petdedicated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dcd3dd5b87dff143681bf209730b60e7-1x1.jpg 1w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Behaviour modification training<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are dog trainers specifically trained in behaviour modification to help pets with depression related to trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the MSD Veterinary Manual, techniques most commonly used in behaviour modification include habituation, extinction, desensitisation, counterconditioning, response substitution and shaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seek veterinary help<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve exhausted all other steps and your dog remains depressed, seek help from your vet about a treatment plan to help diminish your pet\u2019s cycle of depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A veterinarian might put your dog on medication, but only do so if instructed by the vet \u2014 don\u2019t self-medicate your dog.
