Why dogs tolerate pain

Dogs’ tolerance for pain and cover-up of injuries are inherited from the evolution of their wild ancestors. In nature, sick, sick and weak individuals often become targets of attacks by other predators. This makes dogs naturally hide their injuries to increase their chances of survival. Therefore, if a dog is sick, he always likes to avoid people and hide himself to avoid being discovered that he is injured.

Disadvantages of pain tolerance in dogs

Pain is very harmful to the health of dogs. Pain, especially when prolonged, can become a long-term source of stress. In response to this stress, dogs release a series of stress-related hormones that affect every system in the body, changing metabolic rates, causing nerve reactions, causing the heart, adrenal glands, thymus, and immune systems to be highly active. If it persists for a long time, these organs will become dysfunctional.

Face up to the dog’s pain

As long as the dog does not show any uncomfortable behavior, most owners think that the dog is not in pain, but that the dog is just enduring it and not showing it. Just come out. Owners should face up to the dog's pain and use medication and more emotional care to soothe the dog's pain. Timely relieve the dog's pain, relieve the dog's stress, prevent the occurrence of dog anxiety, and actively manage and care for the dog.
