While some dogs are pickier eaters than others, a happy dog is going to want to eat.

Wants to spend time with you

A happy dog will want to spend time with his family and will come to you for attention. Of course, there are differences in personalities that need to be taken into account, but for the most part, a happy dog wants to hang out with his people.

Is healthy

Your dog’s health is a great sign of whether they are happy or not. A healthy dog is a happy dog!

Gets excited

A happy dog gets excited about things like dinner, you, playing, walks, etc.- whatever it is that your dog loves.

A happy relaxed pup finds a comfy place and drifts off to sleep. When a dog is stressed they wake up a lot and move to new spots.
