How can I tell if my dog is depressed?

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Do dogs actually suffer depression like humans do?  If so, what are some signs of depression in dogs?

I’ve heard stories about dogs being treated with antidepressants and that made me curious. I discovered there are animal psychiatrists and I was wondering what  your thoughts are on animal psychiatry?  Is it real?

We lost our 24 year old cat 4 months ago and since then my 11 year old beagle has not been his usual self, acting listless and depressed.

What other options are available for sad pets?
Thank you,
