If you are a pet parent you would know that pets do talk, but only to those who are willing to understand their language. His way of expressing love can be different, but that’s the beauty! Find out how your pet shows signs of love to make you feel super ‘spawciel’.
Welcoming You
Whether you are gone for five minutes or five hours, the way your pooch greets you at the door is a feeling that only pet parents know! The second you open the door, it is like an explosion of love and affection. Trust me when I say this, cherish these moments till they last! You’ll crave them when your beloved is gone…
Paw Prints of Love
If you think your pet is clingy and keeps following you throughout the house, then you don’t know that it is his way of showing love. He wants to be near you all the time. It is a way that doggos feel safe and secure.
Sleeping Beauties
A lot of pet parents follow the rule of not allowing their pets on the bed. But if you break the rule once, there is no looking back. The contentment that you get from cuddling your pet and sleeping is on another level. If your pet wants to sleep in the same room as you, it is a sign of love and you are lucky!
Falling for those Puppy Eyes
In the doggie world, the main sign of love and romance would be eye contact! If your pet is staring into your eyes, then he certainly loves you. When your dog gazes at you, their brain releases oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone.” This is the same hormone that strengthens the bond between mothers and their infants. Research has shown that mutual gazing between dogs and their owners increases oxytocin levels in both, enhancing the emotional connection between them
Leaning Tales of Tails
Have you noticed that your pet leans onto you a lot? Well, this is also one of the many ways in which dogs show their love. If he is leaning on you, it shows that he is trusting you and feels secure with you, and sees you as protector.
Bringing Comfort and Toys
Your pet is certainly a major source of love and stress relief in your life. When you are feeling low, your pet can sense it. He will come to sit near you, cuddle you, or bring him his toys to show his love and affection. It is their way of saying ‘I’m there for you’.
Unleashing Love through Wags
Your pet’s tail tells a lot of tales. Whether they are nervous, anxious, happy, or scared, it is all said through their tail position. Usually, tail wagging is always considered a good sign. But sometimes you can be mistaken. If your pet’s tail is relaxed and moving in circular motions causing a full wag, then that is a happy sign and your pet is super excited to see you.
Belly Bomb
You thought that if he is showing you his belly, he wants unlimited belly rubs. But what if we told you that showing his belly is your pet’s way of showing love? It is his way is conveying that ‘I trust you’. A dog’s belly is one of the most vulnerable parts, and showing his belly means he is submitting to you fully with trust and loyalty!
Being Nosy
I remember my pet, Romeo used to always nudge me with his nose. At that time, I didn’t understand, but now I know it was his way of showing affection. If your furry friend is nudging you with his nose, it could mean – a simple hello, pet me, I want your attention, I am here with you, or I love you!! So, acknowledge him with lots of love and maybe some treats.
Jealous and How!
There are high chances that your pooch will get jealous if you pet another doggo! This is his way of showing love and authority over you. He wants your attention all the time and when he feels that the attention is being divided, he starts feeling jealous.
Now that you know how your pet conveys his love to you, you can be more responsive and reciprocate it with oodles of more love, care, and affection. As a responsible pet parent, your way of love can be pampering your pooch, prioritizing his health and nutrition, and taking care of his schedule – walks, medicine, regular vet visits, spa sessions, etc. Make sure you continue this love tradition with your beloved pet!
