Dogs suffering from chronic pain often experience frustration and anxiety because they often have difficulty in accessing their daily needs (Dermirtas et al. 2023).

Chronic pain is known to negatively affect the mood and reduce the capacity for pleasure in individuals by inducing maladaptive cognition such as pain catastrophizing
and negative emotions. Bidirectional relation­ships between depression and chronic pain are well documented in humans.

The Connection Between a Dog’s Health and Behaviour

For years, we've often viewed our dog’s medical and behavioural issues as separate matters. If our dogs showed signs of physical distress, such as lethargy, altered eating habits, or unexplained discomfort, we would rush them to the vet. On the other hand, when faced with behavioural problems like excessive barking, destructive tendencies, or sudden aggression, we often attribute these to training issues. However, a growing body of research has shed light on the undeniable connection between a dog's health and their behaviour. It is now widely accepted that a dog’s behaviour can be totally or partially caused by underlying health conditions.

If your dog presents with a new or existing behavioural problem, we recommend arranging a veterinary health check as soon as possible.
