Dogs are arguably one’s best friends. You can brush on hundreds of other amazing creatures but won’t find such a loyal and sincere companion. In contrast to cats, they never play hard to get and always openly show genuine emotions. 

However, some dog owners often wonder whether their pets are really happy – after all, dogs can’t use words to express their feelings as people do. To make up for this gap, they are armed with plenty of other ways to let you know everything you are so curious about. Today, we share with you three telltale signs that your dog is healthy and happy – make sure to read them!

Your Dog Treats You To A Full-Body Wag

The majority of pet parents know that when a dog wags its tail, it is in good health and mood. Well, as it nicely explained at Our Pooches, when your dog treats you to a full-body wag, that means he is very happy or delighted if you want. The more often you are rewarded with such a strong manifestation of happiness, the more content your dog is with its life. If you get this extravaganza of emotions even after a 20-minute absence, rest assured your dog loves you and doesn’t dream of another owner.

Apart from a full-body wag, there is another surefire sign, a so-called play bow, which is nothing but a clear invitation to join the game. If you see your dog with its front end down and rear up with that meaningful stare, get ready to run, chase, wrestle, play with the ball or Frisbee, or do whatever your pet likes the most.

In case you notice that they haven’t been acting like this in a while, take action. The experts at Xen Pets can explain how anxiety and uneasiness can take a toll on your furry friend’s emotional well-being. Maintaining proper hygiene and nutrition is essential to keep your dog happy and healthy.

Your Dog Is Interested In Food

Dogs love to eat and never pretend they don’t. It doesn’t matter whether your pet is still a funny pup or a serious adult. A great appetite is the first and most foremost sign of good health. Many people wrongly think that dogs know exactly how much food they need and always eat only the portion they really need. Unfortunately, this belief can’t be further from the truth. Therefore, keep in mind that you are responsible for your pet and feed it according to the food manufacturer’s guidelines.

Your Dog Has A Healthy And Shiny Coat

The coat is another important indicator of your dog’s health. Regardless of whether it is short or long, wire or soft, it should be shiny. If it’s dull or your dog is shedding all the year-round, consult your vet. Perhaps you have to change the food or add some minerals and vitamins.

In line with all said above, if your dog suddenly meets you with far less enthusiasm and a tail tucked between its legs, be sure that something is wrong, and do not wait too long to figure out what’s the matter. Dogs are very straightforward, and if your pet looks happy, then be sure it is happy, and everything is in order. But if you have that odd feeling your pet behaves differently, do not ignore the signs and pay a visit to the vet.
