You have probably noticed many times when you look at your dog that his eyes are watering. But if it's not an allergy or an infection, why is your pet crying? We are sure that you will be surprised to learn for what reasons these pets can cry like humans!

Most often, tears in the eyes of dogs appear when they are left alone

This behavior is often seen in puppies at night who have just arrived at their new home. In this case, before bringing the puppy home, you need to prepare a cozy nest for him, in which you can put a warm towel. Or something else that has a familiar smell to him. But if your pet has been living with you for a long time, but you notice that every separation from you causes him to cry and worry, because he does not know why his owner leaves the house and does this to him, then you need to teach the dog to remain alone. In that case, each of your meetings should not be too emotional, and the farewell should be firm and short.

The dog may cry when you come home

And this is already the opposite of the previous situation, which can cause tears in your pet. Many owners could notice how an animal can cry when a person comes home after work. Scientists have established that this behavior is caused by the hormone oxytocin. When a dog meets its owner, it releases a "love hormone". You can say that the puppy is crying from happiness. What is interesting is that dogs are also able to remember the time when their owner returns from work. Therefore, be sure that half an hour before your return, your dog will be waiting for you at the door with tears in his eyes.

Dogs may cry when they hear high-pitched sounds

You probably know that dogs can react differently to sounds. So when loud noises can be heard in your home, you can look at your dog and see tears in his eyes. By the way, dogs also often react by crying to the sounds of thunderstorms, gunshots, vacuum cleaners, babies crying, or sirens sounding.

Dogs cry when they are bored

Of course, pets do not always show such behavior. However, there are times when the puppy becomes sad and may cry while barking. So in this, they are very similar to many people. But who said that dogs are not like us?

Dogs cry because of pain

This is another confirmation of the idea that dogs are very similar to people. Yes, they have a really high pain threshold, but that doesn't mean they don't hurt. Very often pets report discomfort or even pain in their body due to tears. So if all other reasons are ruled out, you should take your puppy to the vet.

So be attentive to your dog and he will be very grateful to you.
