Care at a glance

Understand their signals

All care guides

Understand their needs

Listen to the whole dog.

A tail is only one part of the conversation. Notice posture, movement and the situation around your dog.

01A tense body, turning away or repeated lip licking can be a request for space.
02Changes in appetite, activity or usual behaviour deserve attention.
03Let your dog approach at their own pace. Make room to retreat.

Try a kind moment

Try a quiet sniff walk. Let your dog choose the pace and follow a few interesting smells.

RSPCA · Understanding dog behaviour

Sudden or serious changes need a veterinarian. Breathing difficulty, collapse or severe distress: contact an emergency vet now. These guides help you notice; they cannot diagnose.
