Is your dog less interested in play than before? Sleeping more and moving less may not only be signs of tiredness but could also point to underlying health or lifestyle factors.
1. Diet and age-related changes
A lack of energy in dogs is often linked to nutrition or environmental conditions. Dogs that do not receive sufficient protein and vitamins may appear less active. Additionally, as they age, their metabolism slows down, leading to reduced daily activity. Choosing food tailored to your dog’s age is therefore essential.
2.Insufficient exercise
Not getting enough exercise directly affects a dog’s energy. Stress, changes in their living environment, or a lack of regular activity can all contribute. Replacing short strolls with consistent, brisk walks helps to stimulate your dog both physically and mentally.
3.Sudden fatigue
If your dog suddenly becomes lethargic and this continues for several days, you should consult your vet. Low energy can sometimes be a symptom of thyroid disorders, heart conditions, or hidden infections
4.Enhancing quality of life
To enhance your dog’s quality of life, proper nutrition, regular exercise, and routine health checks are key. Observing changes in energy levels and responding early will help your companion enjoy a healthier and happier life.
