Hello there! It sounds like your pup is looking for some extra attention and comfort right now. Dogs can become clingy or whiney for a variety of reasons, much like humans can feel out of sorts at times. It could be as simple as seeking reassurance due to something new in their environment, such as a change in routine or a new pet or person in the house.
Sometimes, this behavior might be a sign that something is bothering them physically. Dogs can't tell us when they're not feeling their best, so they rely on behaviors like these to communicate discomfort or anxiety. If your dog is also less interested in food, seems lethargic, or has changes in bathroom habits, it might be a good idea to get them checked out.
You can try soothing them at home by maintaining a calm environment, offering gentle affection, and ensuring they're well-exercised and mentally stimulated. Interactive toys and regular playtime can be great at distracting them from stress.
Keep an eye on any additional symptoms that could indicate a more serious issue, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or persistent lethargy. If things don't seem to improve or if you're simply concerned, it’s always wise to book a video consult with us here on Dial A Vet to discuss your dog's behavior in more detail. We're here to help!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
