    Hello Everyone,

    Some dogs are restless. Always looks depressed to me and I don’t know why, he has never been mistreated or abused in any way. Do you think he is suffering from depression and is there anything I can do?

    Regards,

    yes, dogs can suffer from separation anxiety and get depressed or show some unwanted behavior. all you have to do is to play with the dog more and show some affection. never leave the dog alone for too long.

    I think no because I have never seem them in such position in which they are look like in the stress or any kind of depression. They are living a free life and enjoying it completely.

    Well I think dogs are not depressed because they don't got married and had no wife :D

    Yeah of course, mostly dogs suffer from depression, just like human. For carry your dog out of depression you should be sure to have all actual factors of your canine's wellness checked out by a animal medical practitioner first.
