10 signs that show your dog is truly happy (and likely healthy)

Decoding canine happiness is key to a stronger bond with your furry friend. Happy dogs display relaxed ears, soft gazes, and wiggly bodies. Play bows, joyful barks, and enthusiasm for walks signal contentment. A healthy appetite, peaceful sleep, and regular vet checkups are also indicators. Meeting their physical, mental, and social needs ensures a thriving, happy dog.
