He’s a 3-year-old Cavoodle and otherwise totally normal - eating, drinking, going for walks. But maybe once or twice a day he’ll just stop and start trembling for a few seconds. It goes away quickly but it’s freaking me out a bit. Anyone else experienced this?
Trembling can be caused by anxiety, cold, or minor pain - especially in smaller breeds. If he’s not showing other symptoms (like vomiting or lethargy), try noting if it happens after meals, during storms, or when he's left alone. You can try a calming product like Adaptil (a pheromone diffuser or collar) which helps ease anxiety in some dogs.That said, shaking can sometimes signal something more serious. To be safe, book a quick video call with us at Dial A Vet and we’ll assess if anything else is going on.
