Ever catch your dog spinning in circles, chasing their own tail like it’s the most exciting game in the world? It’s a behavior that can seem funny—and a little puzzling! So, why do dogs chase their tails?
There are a few reasons. For puppies, tail-chasing is often just a fun way to burn off some energy or learn about their bodies. It’s part of the playful, curious nature that young dogs have. As they get older, some dogs continue this habit as a way to entertain themselves, especially when they’re feeling bored or looking for attention.
In some cases, though, frequent tail-chasing can be a sign of something else, like anxiety, a need for more exercise, or even a skin irritation. If it’s happening a lot, it’s worth checking with your vet to make sure everything’s okay.
