Causes of depression in dogs:

1. Cowardice. If your dog is not naturally courageous, he will be frightened and panicked when encountering any movement, and may even suffer from depression.

2. Environmental changes. The dog's living environment suddenly changes greatly, and he will not adapt to it and appear depressed.

3. Influence of family atmosphere. If the family atmosphere is not good, such as loud noises, frequent quarrels, etc., dogs can easily become fearful and uneasy and develop depression.

4. Suffering from disease. Of course, once a dog gets sick, the pain it brings will also cause the dog to feel depressed and depressed.

5. Separation anxiety. Dogs have been with their owners for a long time. If they are suddenly separated for a long time, the dog will become uneasy, nervous or even depressed.

6. Lose your master or friend. Although dogs cannot understand the meaning of death, they can also grieve when they lose an owner or friend.

7. Long-term closure. It is caused by dogs staying in a relatively dark and closed environment for a long time, or being kept in a cage for a long time without sufficient exercise.

Solutions for dogs suffering from depression:

1. Increase companionship time. The owner needs to spend more time with the dog, increase the frequency of feeding the dog snacks appropriately, and use more toys to encourage it to play games.

2. Increase the frequency of dog walking. For dogs that are very timid, the owner can take the dog out for a walk in a place with fewer people, and then slowly go to a place with a little more people to help the dog gradually desensitize.

3. Seek medical treatment. Determine if the dog is sick. When the dog becomes abnormal, it is best to take it to the veterinarian.
