5 Signs Your Dog Might Be in Pain 🐾
Dogs are masters at hiding discomfort - here are some signs you might notice:
Reduced activity or reluctance to move – skipping walks or stairs
Stiffness after rest – struggling to get up in the morning
Changes in behavior – irritability, avoidance, or unusual clinginess
Altered posture or gait – limping, swaying, or holding a limb differently
Changes in appetite or sleeping patterns – eating less or sleeping more than usual
Early detection can make a huge difference in recovery and comfort. If you notice any of these signs, it’s worth checking in with a vet.
🐶💛 Your dog can’t tell you when it hurts - but you can notice.
