Yes, dogs can indeed experience stress similar to humans. Stress in dogs can manifest in various ways, including changes in behavior, appetite, and physical health. Common signs of stress in dogs include excessive barking, pacing, destructive behavior, withdrawal, and changes in eating habits. Factors that can contribute to stress in dogs include loud noises, changes in their environment, separation anxiety, and lack of physical or mental stimulation.

For example, a dog may become stressed during thunderstorms or fireworks, showing signs like hiding or trembling. To help alleviate stress, it’s important to provide a safe space for your dog, engage them in regular exercise, and use positive reinforcement training techniques. Additionally, calming products such as anxiety wraps, pheromone diffusers, or calming treats may also help reduce stress levels.

Understanding your dog's body language and behavior is key to identifying when they are stressed and taking appropriate steps to help them feel more secure and relaxed.
