Is My Dog Depressed Quiz

Do you think your dog may be depressed? Take our quiz and find out!

A loss of interest in activities your dog used to love can be a sign of depression. If Fido doesn't want to go on walks or play with toys anymore, it may be time to take them to the vet.

Increased sleep is another common symptom of depression in dogs. If your usually energetic pup is suddenly listless and sluggish, it could be a cause for concern.

Another telltale sign of canine depression is a decrease in appetite. If Spot isn't interested in their food or is eating less than usual, it's worth investigating.

Some dogs may become more vocal when they're depressed, while others may withdraw and become quieter. If you notice a change in your dog's vocalizations, it could be an indication that something is wrong.

If your once social dog is now spending more time alone and seems tired all the time, depression may be to blame. A loss of energy and motivation are common symptoms of canine depression.
