In a video on
Instagram,
the manufacturer of sustainable dog and cat food Green Petfood shows five signs that owners can interpret as signals of the pure well-being of their four-legged friends. Including:
Roll on your back:
Showing your dog's belly is a sign of trust.
Seeking physical closeness:
If the dog puts his head in your hand or extends his paw to you, he wants to express his affection. “This is how he shows his desire to be with you,” writes @greenpetfood on
Instagram
.
Zoomies:
Dog zoomies are the so-called “five minutes” in which the four-legged friends get rid of their energy by running around wildly. You can find out what dog owners should know about this behavior here.
Relaxed look:
His facial expressions also reveal whether the dog feels comfortable. This also includes frequent blinking.
Frequent naps:
“Healthy and happy dogs typically sleep up to 16 hours a day,” says @greenpetfood. If a dog sleeps less, it could be a sign of stress. You can find out here how you can recognize stressed dogs and react correctly.
In addition, tail wagging at a 120 degree angle, from left to right, as well as a bright and lively look with open pupils are a clear sign that your dog is happy with you.
