Once medical concerns are addressed (and absolutely your dog’s diet is paramount), then we should look at the environment in which your dog is living. You mentioned depression after a move change. Bringing along familiar toys, bedding and food bowls is extremely important in giving your dog the opportunity to adjust in a healing way. After a short adjustment time, I would then look at the type of bedding (color and fabric) in which your dog spends his “down” time. Using browns and squares would give your dog the feeling of being secure and comfortable. Stay away from the reds and bright colors, even though they might fit perfect in your design scheme. Also take note on the position of his bed to your own sleeping arrangements. Are they near enough so that he/she feels safe and loved? These are just a few tips I would suggest to use when researching ways to support a healing environment for your family member.
