Hi I'm Dan Scott canine nutrition and home remedy specialist and in this
video I'll talk about five reasons for your dog's depression and anxious
behavior and what you can do to solve the problem naturally.
Dogs suffer anxiety and depression, its just another aspect of life we have to deal with and
it's no less important to seek an understanding of the condition so we can
help our dogs as it is to help ourselves. From my experience, I can help you solve
the present condition using natural effective home remedies that replace
harsh antidepressant drugs that only lead to unwanted side-effects. So first
let's look at the possible underlying causes of your dog's depression or
anxious behavior. When you know what's behind a condition, now you can do
something to help your dog, change the conditions for them and have them feel
good again. So what are the causes of a dog's depression? Well number one is
boredom from being left at home all day. Maybe your dogs shut in the house all
day or alone in the backyard, bored and waiting for your return, ready to let off
some of that pent-up energy that they've accumulated. Every day your dog does not
have some form of vigorous exercise and a walk to calm it off, is another day
that your dog is moving that much closer to destructive behavior, mental
stagnation, moodiness, aggressive behavior, loss of vitality, depression, ill health
and other bad habits. Only when a dog can unleash its pent-up energy, really let go
and work all that energy out of its body can it then transition into relaxed
behaviors and feel its body telling it how good it feels. Because a dog is a
feeling animal, not a thinking animal like us. We can think around the problem,
justify our behavior and mostly be okay with it but our dogs can't. Our dogs have
to have exercise or they stagnate because there's no happy signal coming
from their body telling them that they feel drained of tension and all is well.
Instead, it's another day that their bodies are telling them; I'm all
congested, nothing's happening, I don't feel right. And because dogs live in the
moment, they don't complain about how they feel, they just get on with it, but
the damage is chronic and slowly builds up over time. This can be especially true
if you have one of the hunting or herding breeds that need a strong daily
focus. When the dog is being exercised well daily it becomes a whole different
story. Now they're more mentally focused, satisfied
and drained of anxiety built up while you're away from them. A regular and
thorough exercise program can work miracles for your dog, lifting spirits
and heading off that chronic depression. Number two is loss of a member of the
family and a feeling of grief. If you have several dogs and one dies, the other
dog can become depressed for a while, usually this ties in with your feelings
of loss over your dog's death and the remaining dog or dogs feel your pain.
Dogs live in the present, not for a moment thinking about the loss and while
it may seem that they are in grief over the loss, its your grief they are picking
up on and when you move on, heal and pick up again, they'll do the same. Number
three is eating a depressing diet. Yes your dogs diet can make them feel
depressed, anxious and confused. And if you feed a kibble only diet, your dog can
be suffering mentally from the additives in kibble or in desperate need of
enzymes which kibble lacks. The chronic health problems a dog can suffer,
including mental health issues from eating kibble alone is a huge problem
and one you can easily do something about. The road back to optimal health
for your dog can be simple as boosting the kibble they already eat to make it
healthier. And how do you do this as simply and quickly as possible?
I created the Healthier Kibble Diet to help people feeding dog owners reclaim
their dog's health from those persistent health problems like dog depression,
anxiety and various unusual behaviors even phobias. I found very little help
out there for dog owners feeding a kibble only diet, so from my 15 plus
years of canine nutrition knowledge, I created a diet that in essence helps you
to add the right combination of supplements as a topper to your dog's
meals to boost the nutritional content of the food. This changes things
dramatically for your dog, simply by adding some essential extras your dog
instinctively knows is good to eat and once added you dog craves mealtime and
things begin to feel better, look better and they act with more mental clarity
focus and happiness. Now your dogs getting highly essential elements left
by the pet food manufacturers, which go to work reducing the chronic health
problems. It works wonders for dog suffering depression, allergies, skin
problems, poor digestive health and low immunity to infection and within days
you notice positive improvements. This is a great diet for the kibble feeder that
actually saves money as veterinary costs are cut in half has tested over six
years. You'll see a link to a video in the description below explaining more
about the Healtier Kibble Diet. Number four is taking too many drugs.
Your dog could be suffering the fallout from taking too many vaccines,
antibiotics, steroids NSAIDS, dewormers, flea-and-tick drugs and all on top
of those additives in their daily kibble diet. It's any wonder they're depressed
or anxious. Your dog's immune system needs a boost to reset and become more
balanced again. So try and cut back on the traditional drugs and give them some
natural alternatives, it will make a world of difference, especially combined
with an improved diet. See more detailed information on boosting your dog's
immune system by clicking on the video link in the description below. And number
five is to reduce your dog's stress levels with CBD oil to help calm and
relax your dog's mind. CBD has been well researched and found to be highly
effective at lowering stress levels and works to negate anxiety disorders, panic
and any form of irrational fear your dog may have. So it's excellent for
trips to the vet, car rides, separation anxiety, depression, fireworks, noisy
children, being around other dogs or dog aggression. There are also lots of
reports of renewed energy, alertness and playfulness, especially in senior dogs
with reduced anxiety, more calmness, appetite and reduced use of vet
prescribed drugs and their side effects. And for more on nine amazing ways CBD
oil can help your dog, I'll leave another link in the
description below. I'll also leave a link to an excellent choice of CBD oil in the

have some options you can use to do something and help them feel good again
quickly. And if you found this video useful, please remember to like it share
