My dog used to nap with me. Why does he nap away now? Is it normal?

If only Joshie could talk! Pets can develop new habits out of no where. If Joshie seems normal in every other way, this is likely nothing to worry about. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

At 3years of age he would generally expected to be more active but every dogs character is different and some are very placid. If his behavior has changed over the last 3 months I strongly recommend a full health check by your vet to rule out medical or painful conditions which may be reducing his mobility

Unless he is exhibiting other symptoms, such as lethargy, GI upset, decreased appetite, lameness or abdominal pain, then there is likely no cause for concern. As you stated yourself, it is a new bed and it may be more comfortable than the settee for Woody.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Zippy. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. He may be experiencing pain from arthritis or could have developed a disease that is contributing to his behavior changes. If there is something that can be diagnosed, then there may be treatment options to help keep him more comfortable. After his examination, laboratory work may be recommended. I hope this information helps!

I'm glad to hear Jill is doing so well. Dog's preferences can change with the weather or just due to their own reasons. As long as she doesn't;t seem anxious or fearful outside, I think it's probably fine. Many dogs, especially older ones, do sleep a lot! Make sure she is going outside to potty at least 4-5 times a day and watch her for any signs of illness. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

If he is eating and drinking well, with no vomiting or diarrhea, then it does not sound abnormal. Some dogs are just more energetic than others However, if this behavior is new, then I would consult your vet for testing. If their thyroid is low then it can lead to lethargy and may be contributing.

Dogs can change where they like to sleep, and that is a normal behavior. I would not worry about it, she may choose to sleep with you again when he's out of town. Likely, Paisley is happy your husband has come home, and wants to get love from him while he is there.
