Watch for any changes in your dog's activity, appetite, sleepiness, or mood.

If your dog has become a picky eater or is eating less than usual, it could be a sign of a health problem.

Monitor any changes in your pet's eating behavior. Pay attention to changes in your dog's appearance.

These may include fluctuations in weight, changes in coat condition, rashes, itching or redness of the skin, etc.

Changes in activity: If your dog suddenly becomes less active or, on the contrary, overly excited and hyperactive, this may be a consequence of an illness. Pay attention to any unusual changes in your pet's activity.

Changes in response to touch: If your dog suddenly starts to react aggressively or painfully to touch, this may indicate a health problem.

Be attentive to your pet's reaction to physical contact.
