Gordon Setter (detailed introduction)

       We know dogs have their own thoughts and emotions; it’s just that most of us cannot understand them. Therefore, some problems that humans face can also occur in dogs. Depression for humans is a kind of non-disease illness, mainly affecting the mental side. In fact, dogs can also suffer from depression. Let’s understand the causes of depression in dogs.

       1. The causes of depression may vary greatly for different pets. If a pet at home is timid and gets scared for a long time whenever seeing unfamiliar people or things, such a pet may develop depression.

       2. Sudden changes in the living environment or new additions to the family. If a new pet or friend comes to the home, or a newborn baby appears, they may feel neglected and thus become melancholy.

       3. If the pet owner leaves early and comes home late every day, pets that are often neglected and confined at home are prone to depression and anxiety. If the family atmosphere is tense and family conflicts break out from time to time with constant verbal fights, the pet’s life will naturally not be easy. In such an environment, pets can easily develop feelings of fear and unease, which over time will lead to depression.

       It’s clear that the causes of depression in dogs are closely related to their living environment and the owner’s care conditions, especially the way the owner takes care of them, which has the greatest impact. Therefore, owners must pay more attention to taking care of their dogs and give them more love.
