The dog wrinkling his nose should the owners worry? What does it mean when the nose suddenly curls? Pet owners are often unaware of small signs that could be important to understand if their furry friend is okay or if perhaps it is appropriate to ask a veterinarian for a consultation.
Often checking the movements of Fido’s face can be important, because we can learn many things also regarding the communication between dogs and humans. In particular, the truffle of dogs is useful for many different reasons.
There are actions that are anticipated by the move of the tail and ears and others that, instead, we can intuit simply by looking at its muzzle. Maybe there is something he doesn’t like or is bothering him. Or on the contrary, there is something that she loves and wants to communicate it to us in some way.
If Fido wrinkles his nose often this could be a defense signal, especially if he shows his teeth in the meantime. This is a warning, he is telling us that he is going to attack, because maybe there is something going on that alarms him, worries him, scares him.
For dogs, wrinkling our noses is equivalent to putting ourselves on the defensive, so as to be ready at any moment to react to a potential danger, which perhaps we humans have not even noticed.
Dog wrinkling his nose, what to do?
In these cases we try to stay calm. We need to understand why the dog is on the alert and avoid the underlying cause in the future as well. He may have suffered a trauma or experiencing some discomfort.
If the episodes in which it does so are frequent, perhaps it is better to contact your trusted veterinarian or speak to a dog behavior expert to find the right path.
