Why Is Your Dog Suddenly Shivering?
A dog that suddenly shivers may be afraid, over-excited, cold, unwell, or poisoned. Fear and excitement are normal responses that pass on their own, while cold calls for warmth.

Calm a frightened dog, warm a chilled one, and see a vet if the shaking continues, comes with other signs, or follows a suspect meal; teach a 'leave it' cue to stop scavenging.
