There are actually quite a few reasons for why they can shake, like for being too cold, wet, scared or they even shake away a bit of stress or excitement \u2026 they quite literally attempt to shake it off!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you think your pup\u2019s shaking is getting a bit too much, we\u2019ll go over what you need to do. It might be a good idea to shake rattle and roll to the vets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mia-anderson-okEVQ7r3JPg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"puppy wearing a vest and a collar\" class=\"wp-image-2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mia-anderson-okEVQ7r3JPg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mia-anderson-okEVQ7r3JPg-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mia-anderson-okEVQ7r3JPg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mia-anderson-okEVQ7r3JPg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mia-anderson-okEVQ7r3JPg-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mia-anderson-okEVQ7r3JPg-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@miaanderson?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Mia Anderson<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-do-puppies-shake\">Why do puppies shake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are far too many reasons why puppies shake that it can be really tricky to pinpoint exactly what\u2019s going on. Of course if you\u2019re worried, going to the vet can help relieve your worries but until you get to that point, some good observational, super sleuth skills could help avoid that. Here are some of the most common reasons for why your puppy shakes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-to-get-dry\">1. To get dry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the obvious one. We are all familiar with the soaking wet dog having a good old shake to dry off their fur\u2026 think post bath Beethoven! Dogs literally shake themselves dry, all you need to worry about here is running for cover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-part-of-their-morning-routine\">2. Part of their morning routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you greet your pup good morning, I bet you they have a little stretch and probably a morning shake. It\u2019s quite simply to get ready for the day ahead &#8211; wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea to try that one myself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-body-temperature\">3. Body temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So this is a different kind of shake. It\u2019s more of a tremble than the full body shake you see to get dry. They look like they\u2019re vibrating actually. Puppies get cold quite easily so it\u2019s really common to see them shiver if the cold isn\u2019t feeling very forgiving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/noah-buscher-pueU9kKIkXw-unsplash-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"white puppy in the snow\" class=\"wp-image-2563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/noah-buscher-pueU9kKIkXw-unsplash-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/noah-buscher-pueU9kKIkXw-unsplash-scaled-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/noah-buscher-pueU9kKIkXw-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/noah-buscher-pueU9kKIkXw-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/noah-buscher-pueU9kKIkXw-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/noah-buscher-pueU9kKIkXw-unsplash-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/noah-buscher-pueU9kKIkXw-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@noahbuscher?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Noah Buscher<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-they-re-scared\">4. They\u2019re scared<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this is more of a tremble like when they are cold but it happens after something explosive like fireworks\u2026or a trip to the vets. A ride in the car can all set off the shakes too. Comforting your puppy should do the trick to help it pass fairly quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-they-re-excited\">5. They\u2019re excited<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Puppies literally tremble with excitement. Time to go for a walk? Just picking up the leash can set the trembles off. Kinda cute.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-they-re-itchy\">6. They\u2019re Itchy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your puppy will shake if they feel itchy &#8211; that might be a good sign to check if that flea treatment is up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-when-they-re-dreaming\">7. When they\u2019re dreaming&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your puppy\u2019s shaking start when they\u2019re asleep? If so they could just be enjoying an exciting dream, chasing squirrels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-can-be-a-sign-of-pain\">8. Can be a sign of pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trembling and shaking can be a sign of pain too. It&#8217;s usually accompanied by other signs such as lameness or generally appearing unwell so maybe you might want to get it checked by your vet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-do-when-you-notice-your-puppy-shaking\">What to do when you notice your puppy shaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So if from our list above you think you\u2019ve cracked the shaking code, what can you do about your puppy shaking?

If you\u2019re wondering \u2018why does my puppy shake\u2019 and it\u2019s concerning you then read on to see if you need to contact the vet. The following are just a few instances of when shaking may indicate a health concern that is important to check out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ear-infections\">Ear infections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Really common and very annoying. Also a reason why your puppy might shake.<strong> <\/strong>A puppy or dog that shakes their head a lot could be struggling with an ear infection. This is especially the case among those deliciously adorable floppy eared breeds &#8211;&nbsp; they just love the warmth of a floppy ear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shaking-puppy-syndrome\">Shaking puppy syndrome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, I didn\u2019t just make that up. It\u2019s an actual condition, the official term being hypomyelination. It\u2019s a disease of the central nervous system, and there are 2 versions of this. The most severe is found in English Springer Spaniels; it can progress quickly and can shorten a puppies life. Horrid thing. The second version is found in Chow Chow and Weimaraner, it is less severe and often puppies just grow out of it. But if you suspect it, see your vet as soon as you can.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toxins\">Toxins&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice your puppy or dog shaking and think they may have come into contact with something toxic, it\u2019s a good idea to head towards the vets as fast as you can.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grapes, chocolate or xylitol are just a few of the things that &#8211; although tasty for humans &#8211; can be toxic to our dogs and cause seizures or shaking. Don\u2019t underestimate plants though! They can also be poisonous for dogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you have it! Now you know why puppies shake. Sort of. There\u2019s just so many different reasons why this may be. Our best conclusion is that shaking can either be completely normal or very abnormal. Hey, we did say the journey was a zigzag, right?
