Why has my dog suddenly become so clingy and wants to be held all the time, when it never used to be?
A dog that suddenly becomes clingy may be feeling insecure, stressed or anxious, going through a heat cycle, or be unwell or ill. A dog new to an unfamiliar environment may cling due to stress or insecurity, and this usually eases as it adjusts; fear or anxiety can also make a dog clingier. If the sudden clinginess comes with low mood or loss of appetite, consider that your dog may be sick and take it to the vet.
