Do you have a sad dog? Sadness is a feeling that none of us who love dogs want them to feel. Seeing a sad furry is one of the most unpleasant experiences we can have, and when the dog is part of our family, the pain is even more intense, more personal if possible.
What do I do if my dog is sad? How can I animate it?
Why is my dog sad?
Next we will give you some of the most common reasons why a sad dog:
- Feels ignored
- Lost someone
- Got into a fight with another dog
- Moving or major changes in the home
- You are sick and / or in pain
- Miss someone
- Does not leave home
- Is there a loved one at home who is sick
- Is getting older
- Has been lost and / or has been abandoned
He feels ignored by his family
Dogs are social and highly intelligent animals that can feel very bad if they are not cared for properly; and I don't mean just to give him water, food and a place where he can protect himself from inclement weather, but also to show him that we love him. A single daily caress is not enough for our friend to avoid sadness. Our role as caregivers goes far beyond that.
These animals have a series of physical and psychic needs that We must respectOtherwise, not only will we have a sad dog, but it is also likely that it will start doing things it shouldn't, like digging holes in the garden, breaking furniture, or even reacting 'aggressively' (rather the word adequate would be unsafe in this case, since canine aggressiveness is always caused by fear or insecurity).
We all know the physical needs: food and water. But what about psychics? Our dog must go for a walk daily, meet others of your kind plus, at home we have to play with him, either with balls, teethers, with interactive toys, or a combination of a few.
Loss of a loved one
The dog notices when a loved one is missing, be it a person or animal. Especially if you were very attached to him, he will feel very sad for a while. It is going to enter the phase of duel. During the first days you may be absent, and you may forget to eat or even drink. We, as their caretakers, have to make sure that doesn't happen, but we can't force it either.
If a dog goes 3 days without eating, nothing serious will happen to it. Of course, and as I say, you always have to try to avoid reaching that situation, but when we are talking about an animal that has just lost a loved one, if in three days it does not want to eat a bite, we will leave it. Yes indeed, It is very important that from the fourth we start to force him a little, even if it is giving him his food from our hand.
What you can never stop doing is drink; if he stops drinking water, offer him chicken broth and, if he doesn't want to, you should take him to the vet.
Fight with another dog
Dogs are peaceful animals, avoiding conflict at all times. The fights suppose a very great mental and physical exhaustion for them, to the point that can make them feel very insecure around other dogs days later that it has occurred. To do?
The first is keep calm. Only in this way will we ensure that our friend can trust himself again. During the walks, we will always take a bag with treats for dogs, which we will give each time we see a dog, and always before our friend sees it. Indeed, we will have to anticipate the situation. Therefore, we must be very aware of what is happening around us. Only in this way, with perseverance, we will achieve that little by little it returns to being the dog that it was before.
Home Changes - Home Change
Whether there are changes in the home, that is, if the family increases - either with the arrival of a baby or another animal -, if a loved one moves or is taken to another residence, or if you change your home, the dog may feel sad.
Although they are very adaptable, you have to think that changes at first can make you feel bad. In these cases, you have to try to maintain, if possible, the same routine; that is, if you went out for a walk twice a day, keep going twice / day. Thus, the dog will understand that, despite the changes, he is still the canine member of the family 🙂.
You are sick and / or in pain
One of the most common symptoms that appear when the dog is sick or feels pain in any part of its body is sadness. Spend more time in your bed, barely moving, and when her favorite human approaches she does her best to make him stay by her side for as long as possible.
So if you notice him 'off' or in no mood, and if he also has a fever or some other symptoms, take him to the vet as soon as possible because he could be sick.
Miss someone
Your dog has feelings, and when someone is missing, either because they have gone to live somewhere else or because they have died, they immediately realize their absence. For him, It will be a duel that can last more or less (it depends on each dog), but from which it will be able to leave as soon as possible if your family and you give it love, but without overwhelming.
You will see how little by little you will see that it is animated.
Does not leave home
All dogs have to go for a walk and live outside the home. Nor should it always be kept in the garden, and even less tied. It must be clear that we humans are the ones who decide to bring the animal to the family, and not the other way around. So, From the first moment we spend with him, we have to ensure that he does physical exercise every day, that he plays, that he runs, that he interacts with other dogs.
This is a social animal that needs the company and attention of others in order to be happy, and you are the main person in charge of providing it, because you are his family.
Is there a loved one at home who is sick
Your dog cares about you. If you are sick and because of this you spend time in bed (for example), it is normal for the furry to feel sad and a little apathetic, and that he does not even want to get away from you, in the same way that you would if he were the one that he was trying to overcome an illness.
Is getting older
As the dog ages it may feel sad, and it is that becomes more and more sensitive. Therefore, at this stage of his life, we have to try to keep him more company if possible, and avoid leaving him alone unless we have no choice.
Has been lost and / or has been abandoned
It is a mistake to think that the dog will know how to return home alone, and that therefore it can be left to roam the streets. This, so unusual in the cities, is still seen in the villages. Although it is true that the dog's senses of smell and hearing are exceptional, we must not forget that outside the home there are many dangers for him: cars, people who do not like animals, cold, heat, hunger ...
Never let it loose anywhere if you haven't learned the "come" and "stay" commands well before. Y Nor should it ever be abandoned, since for him it will be a severe emotional blow, from which you may not recover.
Symptoms of sadness in dogs
The symptoms my dog may have when he is sad they are basically the same as we could have, namely:
- Loss of appetite
- Apathy
- Does not want to play or shows interest in new toys
- Decreased body weight
If you have noticed any of these symptoms, we recommend that you keep reading to find a solution to sadness in dogs as soon as possible.
Treatment of depression in dogs
If we see that the dog is not very active, sad or apathetic, it will be time to ask ourselves if we are completely taking care of it. As we said before, we must dedicate time to games, but also to walks. It is highly recommended go on excursions with the furry one, or go to the beach.
The keys to having a happy dog are basically three: sweetie, fun y exercise. None of them can be missing.
If your dog's case is serious, that is, if you have been trying everything for a long time and you cannot get him to improve, or if other symptoms appear such as vomiting, diarrhea or fever, then I recommend take him to the vet to solve the problem.
Sadness in dogs is an evil that, if not solved in time, can seriously affect the life of the animal. Don't let it pass. Much encouragement and tell us what you did when you saw your sad dog.

When dogs get like this, it is usually because they have some problem with their body, if they do not want to eat they have parasites, first give them bactrin for children, you give them half, this is so that they have an appetite because if they are not hungry they are supposed to have a stomach problem and the next day you give him padrax with milk, this is to kill the parasites they have, then they are going to make you with lonbrices. You will see that they will get beautiful in a short time, at first they will get a little worse, but later they will be very, very hungry. Regards.
My little dogs Keisha is very sad before she was charged, she fucks all day now I call her and she does not want to leave her house, she does not eat or drink water.
My dog was always very cuddly, she became annoying at times ... She is a 9-year-old golden, her name is Luna ... In mid-August, we brought to my house a puppy of the same breed, India ... As the dog had a lot of energy and We didn't have that much park for both of us (it also bothered Luna a bit, logically, she was small and wanted to play all the time, and Luna no longer has the energy that she has), so we decided to give it to my father's goddaughter , because she had become very fond of her son ... And since then I notice her very sad, it is quite clear that she misses her, because they shared a lot of time together, but I am afraid that if they meet again and separate again, things will get worse ... so that Luna stops suffering?
I have a miniature Schnauzer, 2 years old I think, her name is Frida and these last few days I saw her strange, like reluctance, I tried to play with her (I always do, more, she brings me her toys) but very little. Her health is fine, she eats, drinks, everything is fine but I find her somewhat sad, she sleeps a lot, I think she is unwell because she has menstruated days ago but I don't know, I hope that is it, because she is always active, wants to play and so on. Maybe it needs more attention, but if someone knows more or less what they have to answer this comment please, thank you very much 😉

Hello, I have a Pit Bull of barely 1 month and a half, we brought him to himself. One day he is sad, he cries, he does not want to eat.
Hello, I have a German shepherd, he is 13 years old and for 3 days he does not want to eat me and I have been checking him and the only thing that I saw bad was his tongue that had purple parts and blackness on the tip and when he drinks water, he likes it. upset. Q would I recommend giving it. since my dog is very aggressive
Your dog has a problem, so instead of asking in a forum, ask the vet since he is the one who understands. Normal to lose appetite with age but if you have a problem that prevents you from eating, treat it as soon as possible. And on the aggressiveness, it is possible that it is due to some specific ailment, unless he has it from a very young age and it is a neurological disorder, consult it with the veterinarian if you think it may be that. It can even be due to a bad education or having been violent with him. A canine trainer could help you in the latter case, but keep in mind that if it is not a disease, the fault is yours for not knowing how to educate it, but I am not saying that it is easy, in fact many times it is the opposite.
The best thing you can do is take him to the vet to see his tongue and even aggressiveness

My dog is a presumptuous and since yesterday this patient has diarrhea and does not want to eat, she is reluctant, I can do it, please help
Hello Adriana.
If you have diarrhea, the first thing to do is find out why you have it, so I would recommend taking it to the vet. You may have eaten something that made you sick, but you may have another problem.
Give him a soft diet, based on chicken broth (boneless) and a little rice for him to eat.
Much encouragement!
Hi how are things…. I have a chihuhua for 8 years and lately she's been very discouraged, always aah been lazy but she plays and now she doesn't even want to play when I pick her up to take her to the bathroom and she's asleep it's hard for me to wake her up, I don't know if it's because of her age but that happened From one day to the next, I go on a trip a lot for my work, but is my other family always here with her?
Hi Itzzy.
Age may be related to her discomfort, but I think what happens to her is that she is ill. You may feel pain in some part of your body, so you try to avoid moving.
Just in case, I would recommend taking her to a vet as soon as possible.
Much encouragement.
Help me, my puppy is one month old, he is very sad, he does not want to eat anything nor does he want to play, what can I do? I do not like to see my puppy so help me please
Hi Angela.
With a month a dog should be drinking milk from its mother or for puppies, or I think soaked with water.
In addition, it is important that it is protected from the cold, wrapping it with a blanket and placing thermal bottles or bottles filled with hot water around it (these wrapped with a cloth, so that the animal does not burn).
Another important point is that, if he does not relieve himself, his ano-genital area must be stimulated, passing him a warm gauze so that he urinates, and another so that he defecates.
In any case, I highly recommend that you first take him to the vet, since he could have colic which, if not treated in time, could be fatal.
Much encouragement!
Hi Mileidy.
You may have a cold or pain of some kind. The most advisable thing would be to take him to the vet, and if you can, change his diet.
You can only give dog food, since cereals - like rice - can make them feel bad.
Cheer up.
Please my dog is sad and it is worrying me a lot
what I do?
Hi Erica.
The first thing is to rule out that she is feeling pain or some type of physical discomfort, so it is highly recommended to take her to the vet.
In the event that nothing is found, then it would be necessary to know what routine it has.
Before doing anything, you have to rule out any health problem.
Much encouragement.
I need help, my dog is sad because she lived with another dog but they took her away, she doesn't want to eat or anything. He is also urinating very dark yellow with brown but does not smell ugly PLEASE HELP ME
Hi Frances.
I'm very sorry for what your dog is going through 🙁. They can have a terrible time when they lose their partner, to the point that they could become ill.
Just in case, the first thing I recommend is that you take her to the vet. Urine cannot be brown, and if it is, it is because there is something in your body that is not working as it should.
In the meantime, encourage her to eat, even chicken broth (boneless), or cans of dog food, and give her water (if necessary, with a syringe without a needle).
Much, much encouragement.
Hello, I need help, my 4-month-old puppy is sad and does not want to eat after seeing his mother with another dog in roaring and now he no longer plays or anything and the mother growls at the puppy, she does not want to see him and this worries me
Hi Angela.
Try giving him wet food (cans) for puppies. They are tastier and more fragrant, and you will surely not hesitate to eat.
A greeting.
hello please help my puppy you are two months old and he has spent complaining of pain I do not know that it hurts it is as if he was dizzy and has no strength he does not walk well please help me
Hi Alexandra.
I recommend taking him to the vet for an examination. I am not a veterinarian.
Much encouragement.
My dog is very sad and does not want to be playing, he just wants to be lying down, my dad is the master of my dog and he only passes by traveling, will that be what is affecting him or it could also be that we had a puppy and he was very attached to her and the dog. Mónica Sanchez died, please can you give me an answer I thank you very much, thank you and blessings
Hello Monica.
Dogs need to follow a routine. Throughout the day they have to go for a walk, play, eat, drink, sleep, explore. If any of these things are missing, they will not be happy.
Therefore, it is important to dedicate time to them, since otherwise we will have a furry that will not feel well.
Even if he is always traveling, there must be someone to take care of the dog.
Cheer up.
Hello my dog is a box and has 1 month and a half and is sad does not want to eat and has diarrhea with blood I want to know what she has please
Hello paola.
I recommend you take her to the vet. He can tell you what is wrong with him.
Much encouragement.
Hello yesterday, my lab dog arrived, she is down, sleeps a lot and does not want to eat, if she drinks water ...
I have two kittens have not fought but they are like investigating everything….
Is it normal for her to be down if I get to other owners? It has me worried because I know that the breed are playful… to say that they don't even cry on their first night?
Hello Patricio.
Yes, it is normal that at first it is a little down. Offer him treats and give him a lot of love, and you will see how little by little he improves.
Still, it is highly recommended to take her to the vet to see how healthy she is.
A greeting.
Hello, I'm mariela, I have a 3-week-old dog, her mother gave her a gift and she did not give her her tit and she is very decayed and I do not know what to drink her milk in a bottle but very little and sometimes she does not want to and she spends it sleeping and I see her weak that I can aser please help me .
Hello Mariela.
Try giving him puppy food, well chopped. Put a little bit in his mouth and instinctively he should swallow. From there put the plate close to him.
However, it is highly recommended to take her to the vet for examination.
Greetings, and encouragement.
Hi! Urgent help!… I have a 7-year-old male poodle, 7 days ago I brought a new puppy, also a 2-month-old female poodle, only the first 2 days passed behind her… but then she didn't want anything, she moved away from her and took 5 days He does not want to eat or play ... I have tried everything, I give him a lot of attention and even chicken but for the first time he has rejected it ... I do not know how long it is normal for him to get used to it and go back to being like before and accept the new puppy . How long should I wait???
Hi Taty,
You must have patience. Play a lot with both of them at the same time, make the same case to them. You can even take them out for a walk together in clean places if the puppy already has the first vaccine.
A greeting.
Good day. We have brought a new dog. It is an 11 month old puppy. But it turns out that he is very sad and they are very afraid. Today I haven't eaten for 2 days, I just barely drink water. We took him out for a walk on the leash. But it is also scared. He is afraid of everything. And sleeps all day. And tried to feed him inside his box but nothing. They only eat bread and cookies. What can I do to make him feel better and not be like that. ?
Hello Rocio.
Try giving him wet dog food (cans). Being very smelly, surely you cannot resist them.
In addition, it is important to spend as much time as possible with him, playing, giving him affection.
With patience, he will soon be running for joy 🙂.

Hello. I have an 8 year old mixed race. Two weeks ago it was broken. With vomiting She was taken to the vet and medicated. From that moment on, his behavior changed to the point that he has been very tired for days and does not want to eat. They have done an analysis of everything and she is healthy. Two months ago we lost a kitten very attached to her. And 3 weeks ago he fought a cat that came into the house and ate his food. From the time of the kitten, we have noticed her anguished. It may be that these two events made you depressed or scared. How can I treat it ???
Hello Caroline.
From what you count, it seems that she is very depressed.
I recommend giving him wet dog food, as it smells more than dry. This way you will continue to eat normally.
Likewise, it is necessary to continue with the routine: walks, games, ... everything has to be as before you lost the kitten.
In this way, you will see that nothing happens, which will help you feel better and better.
Cheer up.
Hol Mónica, I have a 1 and a half year old Labrador, I have had surgery and he has been in residence, on the way back from the residence, I discover a pyoderma, which his veteran has treated, from which he is recovering superbn ... but I am worried that I see him as apathetic, tired, he spends the day sleeping, he does not feel like playing, when we walk he does not want to walk, the latter does not like much, if you throw the ball at him he gets tired for the moment, there is no way to cheer him up, it may be the antibiotics he is taking, is he angry because I have left him in residence ???? I do not know what to do???? Nor how can I help him ... he just gets excited looking for food on the street, and I can't always afford it, since it may be in bad condition or poisoned ... can you help me ????
Hello, I need help, I am desperate, my little one is recently operated on, because he suffered from hip dysplasia, the first days it was normal for him to be down since he still had anesthesia, but it has been a couple of days and I can't encourage him, he is still down, I spend the whole day With the intention that he does not suffer the change of being recovering abruptly, I take him out to the street so that he does not get overwhelmed I attend him in everything…. I need your help! My little Hache is the most beautiful thing I have and seeing him like this destroys me
Hello Tania.
It is normal to feel like this, but you also have to think that depending on the operation the recovery time can be long.
To cheer him up, I recommend giving him wet food (cans), since they are much more fragrant and tasty, which he will surely like and make him happy.
Try to stick with the usual routine, and play with it a bit. Above all, keep giving him a lot of love.
In the event that you see that he is wrong, that he loses his appetite or that you cannot cheer him up, do not hesitate to take him to the vet.
Much encouragement.
Hello my dog is sad and it is that last week I left him in a house for a mount of the same breed but apparently he had an infection in his intimate part of my dog and I took him to cure him but still he is sad if he eats but sleeps he does not play all day
Hello Alberto.
You may need more time to recover. Keep inviting him to play, give him wet dog food as a treat, and he is sure to get better.
Anyway, if it were not like that or you see that it worsens, do not hesitate to ask for a second veterinary opinion.

I have a three-month-old puppy, he was sick with bloody stools. I took him to the vet gave him a vaccine for his infection. A few days later he became ill but, we took him to the vet, they checked him and said that it could be a dog cough, we did treatment and it did not improve, he felt pain and stopped eating, now he does not examine well and he stops complaining. What is my dog's problem?
Hello Fernando.
I'm sorry but I don't know how to tell you. I am not a veterinarian.
What I do tell you is that with the dog like this, I would recommend taking it to another vet. Sometimes there is no other.
Much encouragement. I hope you get better soon.
Hello, good night, I have a Chihuahua dog and three days ago she got sick, she woke up with a very noticeable curvature and her belly stuck together as if she had not eaten in days, she has her sister of the same breed and the other is very fat, but she does not know. If she ate something strange or did not eat and that is why she was like that, and she was like in shock, I took her to the doctor later and he injected her to give her intestines movement and I left her under his supervision and the next day he discharged her and I took her every 8 hours to finish her injection treatment, she was better after that, and today when I return from work I find her the same bent and with her stomach stuck, I took her again to the doctor and injected her again. same, but it is still worse I see her down, sad and complaining, and I gave her strawberry serum and a chamito, and phlegm bomito and when she swallows her belly sounds and she hardly swallows, what can I do?
Hi Yamileth.
What kind of food do you feed it? If you give him a feed (croquettes) that have cereals, perhaps these ingredients are causing a food allergy.
Whenever possible, give feed that does not contain cereals (rice, corn, wheat, oats, etc.). You must read the label of the ingredients, which will appear from greater to lesser quantity.
Another option is to give him natural food, such as boiled chicken or beef (boneless).
In case of not improving, I would recommend asking for a second veterinary opinion.

Hello, I adopted a two-year-old Yorkshire puppy and I hardly want to eat, I don't release playing, he looks sad, I don't know, I'll take him to the vet and he's not sick, he's sad, what can I do, I'm desperate, I love animals, please help me.
Hi Marisa.
I recommend you take it for a walk, at least three times a day. Invite him to play and give him wet dog food from time to time. With patience you will get him to regain his natural joy.
A greeting.
Hello I have 2 days ago a Labrador of 1 month and almost 2 weeks and I notice it too sad. I also pamper him, he sleeps with me, I see that he drinks a lot of water and eats something. But I would like to know what I could do to cheer him up so that he is not in bed all day
Hello Milagros.
Being so young I recommend you take him to the vet as soon as possible.
It is normal for him to sleep a lot at such a young age, but having separated from his mother so soon (the ideal would have been to wait until he was two or three months old), he may miss her a lot, or that he is sick.
A greeting.
Good morning, last weekend my Chihuahua (overweight) jumped off the chair and injured a ligament on the backside, after several days of observation the veterinarians told me that he needed surgery. Yesterday he went into surgery to put a synthetic ligament on him and came out with his little leg in a cast and too sad. He cries very quietly during the day, does not want to move and has a poor appetite. He's going to have this cast for 10 days and I don't know what to do to help him. He cannot move much and the cast bothers him a lot, in addition he suffers a lot when he goes to the vet and hears his screams with bosal from the operating room. What I can do? Thank you very much in advance
Hi, Diana.
You have to be patient and do what the vet has recommended.
Give him the medicine, keep him as calm as possible, and above all give him a lot of love.
Give him cans (wet dog food) from time to time to boost his mood.
A greeting.
Hello, I adopted an adult dog from a kennel, and it is the baby of the house, last Saturday we went to a birthday and returned on Sunday, we left a person in charge to feed it and give it water and when we returned it was no longer He does not want to sleep in bed as before, eats less, takes refuge in his room and lives lying down, he even tries to bite us, may he have thought that we abandoned him ?? I'm very bad because I change a lot and I think he's sad, I don't know what to do
Hi Lorena.
He may have missed you, but I encourage you to take him out for a walk as happily as possible. This way you will notice well.
Play with him, and give him wet food (cans) from time to time as a reward. You sure love it.
A greeting.
My dog had puppies in May and we were left with one unfortunately she was ill and she was not saved and she died a week ago we also have her sister and she has started to fight a lot with her and now she has been very aggressive and biting everything she finds. We have taken out for a walk as before but still he behaves badly, what do I do?
Hi Dianita.
Every time you see him get aggressive, stop that behavior. Say a firm NO (but without yelling), and take her somewhere else.
Do this every time he misbehaves. And reward her when she's calm.
If you do not see improvement, I recommend you ask for help from a dog trainer who works positively.
A greeting.
Hello, good afternoon, a question, my deer head chihuahua dog is usually very cheerful and playful but for two days he only wants to sleep and hardly eats, at least not on his own, all he does is sleep, the few times I have seen him do the bathroom, he does well and only once has he vomited but it was like green, and well he is never alone he is always with me or with my partner we never leave him alone but I don't know what happens to him ... 🙁
Hello Mayra.
I recommend you take her to the vet. It is not normal that from one day to the next their behavior changes so much 🙁
You may not have anything serious, but it never hurts to go and ask a specialist.
A greeting.
I'm worried my dog is sad after her puppies were taken from her. I do not know what to do. I am afraid that he will die. She doesn't want to eat and she just wants to be locked in my room
