Canine restlessness, characterized by increased activity, inability to settle, and agitated behavior, is a common concern for dog owners. This condition manifests as pacing, panting, whining, and difficulty relaxing even when physical needs are met. For example, a dog may exhibit sleeplessness despite a comfortable bed and a quiet environment.
Understanding the reasons behind a dog’s inability to find peace is crucial for their well-being and that of their owners. Identifying the root cause allows for targeted interventions, potentially improving the dog’s quality of life and alleviating owner stress. Historically, such behaviors were often dismissed; however, modern veterinary medicine acknowledges the multifaceted origins of canine restlessness, ranging from physiological to psychological factors.
