Stress in dogs: How to recognize it early
Dogs are true masters at hiding their emotions – and this is precisely what makes it so difficult to recognize stress in our four-legged friends in time. Whether it's loud noises, changes in daily life, or separations: stress can take many forms – and often goes unnoticed.
Typical signs of stress in dogs:
- 🐾 Frequent yawning, trembling or panting – even without physical exertion
- 🐾 Excessive licking of paws or constant scratching
- 🐾 Nervous pacing, whining, or restless behavior
- 🐾 Loss of appetite or sudden stomach problems
- 🐾 Withdrawal or excessive clinging to attachment figures
The sooner you recognize these signals, the better you can counteract them – because chronic stress can cause long-term illness and significantly change your dog's behavior.
Here's how you can help your dog:
- Provide a quiet, safe place to retreat
- Build rituals and clear structures into your everyday life
- Avoid overstimulation and promote targeted relaxation
- Support your dog with natural nutritional helpers
