WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Is My Dog Depressed Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
Wondering whether your dog seems depressed? This free, quick, no-sign-up quiz helps you review recent changes in interest, social behavior, appetite, sleep, movement, and possible distress. It cannot diagnose depression or distinguish emotional changes from pain or illness; its score bands are unvalidated reflective summaries, not veterinary cutoffs. Contact a veterinarian about persistent or sudden changes. Seek urgent veterinary help for collapse, breathing difficulty, seizures, severe pain, toxin exposure, or inability to drink, urinate, or stand.
