Dogs and Seasonal Affective Disorder

[Catherine]

I came across this article. I know many people are affected by the winter darkness. I never thought about it causing problems for dogs.

It would be good to watch for the symptoms and help the dog before it gets too sad. This must be a bad winter. It is not just dark, it is also cold and icy. I wonder if light therapy would work for dogs.
I have all my reptile grow lights and I never notice the winter until I have to go out. Sadly I have to do that too much. I would rather cuddle a pet under a heat lamp.
