What happens when a dog is frightened?

When a dog is frightened it usually shows signs such as nervousness, fear, unstable mood, depression, and reduced appetite; if the symptoms are severe, it may even develop stress reactions like vomiting and diarrhea.

In addition, a dog’s immunity declines after being scared, making it easy for bacteria and viruses to take advantage and possibly cause other symptoms. Dogs are easily startled by factors such as long-distance transport, loud noises, and environmental changes. The owner should first calm the dog’s emotions and reduce environmental stimulation, and can also appropriately supplement the dog’s nutrition to improve its immunity.
