Depression or Simple Boredom?
In order to find the answer to that question, you may try to take the dog to a
new exciting place. For example, you could take him to a new park and then play
with him. If you try this and try to please him and you see no or little
response, it could be dog depression.
But be patient and do this move with the dog at least 3 or 4 times and then
draw the conclusion. If by the end of the week your dog shows no sign of
improvement, then try with different type of food. After that you may assume it
is depression. It is hard to figure out this disease.
Depression or a Lot of Bad Food?
Many people think that the pet food contains just what it says on the label.
But the dog food may be treated with chemical before it arrives at that factory
so the producer does not have to put those on the label. Food that is market
"preservative free" or "all natural" may not be like that.
You may not have known but dog food kills more dogs than some diseases. A dog
normally lives about 28 years. In our country, the US, this average is much lower
because there is a lot of bad food on the shelves and the owners buy it. The
bad food can seriously damage the mental and physical health of your loved pet.
So, you may want to try to change the food is you notice some signs of
depression. By changing the food you may notice signs of improvement. Do this
for about 2 weeks and you should notice the changes.
Going to the Vet
If you notice changes in the dog抯 mental or physical state, take him to the doctor.
Make sure the vet check him properly and then he says what is going on with the
pet. If the vet has checked the dog cleared him as a healthy dog, and then you
notice some other symptoms, take the dog back to the vet. Many people say that
dog depression can happen because of a chemical imbalance that happens in the
brain.
This means the dog requires medication, just like in humans. There are many
alternative medications and even some holistic treatments that can work for the
dog. You should treat the dog depression with care because it can have long
lasting effects. Besides the treatments, you should also change the diet, take
the dog to new places, and the holistic approach. This is the way to cure him
from depression. Treat the problem in time and the dog will be healthy for his
rest of his life. The dogs do not have worries like us so their depression
could be a little different than in humans.
