Shaking is common in dogs, but knowing the reasons can ease your worries. Let's explore the different types of shakes and what they might mean.
Shivering
Happy shakes are a common way dogs express excitement! Look for loose body movements and tail wags for confirmation.
Jiggles
Dogs can also shake to cool down, especially after exercise or hot weather. Watch for panting alongside the shaking.
Cool Down
Fear or anxiety can cause trembling and shaking. Look for flattened ears, tucked tail, and wide eyes. Offer comfort and a safe space.
Wobbles
Shaking can be a symptom of pain or illness. Consider if there's been an injury, sudden changes in behavior, or excessive licking.
Painful
If your dog's shaking is excessive, persistent, or accompanied by other worrying signs, consult your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Vet
Addressing any underlying issues, you can help your furry friend stay happy, healthy, and wagging their way to a life free from worry.
