Do dogs get depressed?

Answer by  coloredpony (12)

A repeating pattern of this behavior indicates your dog does suffer from SAD, seasonal affective disorder. It is a common diagnosis for the winter blues. Special lights that mimic sunlight can be turned on during the day. Visiting an inside dog park or arrange a play day with pooch friend will also help him deal with the gloominess.

Dogs can beecome depressed. A variety of factors can play a part, like the amount of time the dog is away from his people can create severe depression, especially if the separation is new. (ie the owner takes a job and is gone ten hours a day when he was home all day before.) Medicine is available by veterinarian.
