One minute your pup is ricocheting off the couch, the next they’re dozing for hours. Dogs are like furry mood rings—full of energy one day, then lounging the next.
So how do you know what’s normal?
Puppy Power: Young dogs are all about zoomies and chaos. They need structured play and calming cues to help balance their energy (hint: calming support chews can help with overstimulation).
Adult Dog Vibes: In their prime, dogs usually have a good mix of energy and chill. If your once-active pup starts lagging on walks or seems sore after playtime, joint discomfort might be sneaking in.
Senior Snoozes: Older dogs tend to slow down—and that’s okay! But if they seem stiff in the mornings or have trouble getting up, mobility and inflammation support can really help them stay comfortable and active.
Understanding your dog’s energy is about recognizing the difference between personality and pain. When in doubt, a few wellness tweaks (plus a vet check!) can make a big difference.
