Even though dogs can't talk, you can understand how your pet is feeling. What signs indicate a happy dog?

How to tell if your dog is happy

A happy dog looks relaxed. The animal's ears hang and are in a natural position.

The pet's gaze is relaxed; if the eyelids are open and relaxed, the dog blinks frequently.

A pet's stare may indicate aggression or fear.

A dog is happy if its mouth is slightly open and the corners of its mouth are slightly raised.

A lolling tongue can also mean that your dog is relaxed.

If a dog is breathing through an open mouth, it means that the animal is very hot and is experiencing severe stress or anxiety.

How does a happy dog behave

If the dog is happy, the pet is active, enjoys playing and running outside.

If your dog was socially active and always liked to communicate with other animals, but this has changed, you should be wary and check your pet’s health.

A healthy and happy dog has a normal appetite and sleep time - up to 16 hours a day.
