Dogs, like people, can feel anxious. This can lead to behavior changes. Golden retrievers are no exception. Dog owners should learn to recognize the signs of anxiety in their golden retrievers and take steps to help them feel better.
Signs of anxiety in golden retrievers can include barking, pacing, aggressive behavior, panting, licking, loss of appetite, whimpering, and destructive behavior. These signs may vary from dog to dog. Pay attention to your dog’s behavior and consult a vet if you think they are anxious.
Look for changes in your dog’s behavior, body language, and overall demeanor. Pay attention to physical symptoms like drooling and panting. Also think about any recent changes in your dog’s environment, routine, or any traumatic experiences.
To help your anxious golden retriever, make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment and plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Seek help from a vet or dog behaviorist if needed. Medication can also help, but try non-medication options first. Natural remedies like aromatherapy, massage, and herbal supplements may also help. Ask your vet first.
