Some dogs love a good nap. Others seem to snooze through life. But how do you know if your pup is just naturally chill or if something's off?
Understanding the difference between a relaxed dog and a lethargic one helps you support their wellness more mindfully.
Signs of a Relaxed, Content Dog
A relaxed dog feels safe and settled in their environment. You might notice:
- Loose body posture
- Soft eyes or slow blinks
- Calm breathing
- Gentle tail movement
- Openness to play or cuddles (even if short-lived)
This kind of calm is healthy. It often shows up after meals, walks, or during a quiet evening snuggle.
When "Calm" Might Be Low Energy
Lethargy can look similar but usually comes with:
- Low interest in food or toys
- Slower movement or stiffness
- Hiding or avoiding interaction
- Unusual tiredness
- Changes in sleep, appetite, or bathroom habits
If you notice these signs lasting more than a day or two, it's a good idea to check in with your vet.
