8. Behavioral and mental changes

Cushing’s disease can also affect a dog’s behavior and mental health. You might notice your dog seems more anxious or irritable. Regular mental stimulation, gentle exercise, and a consistent routine can help manage these changes.

Understanding these behavioral shifts is important for providing a supportive environment and ensuring your dog’s overall well-being. Adjusting activities and routines to your dog’s changing needs can make a big difference in their quality of life.
