Do Dogs Have Emotions?
When anyone asks me, "Do dogs have emotions"? My usual reply is, "Of course they do." Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a young child and I can’t imagine living without them. Right now I have three. I have seen my dogs in all kinds of situations displaying many types of emotions such as anger, jealousy, guilt, joy, fear, and sadness. They can also be possessive and protective, playful, and curious. My Dogs Mourned My Partner's DeathDo dogs have emotions? My main dog Marlo has been very empathetic towards me especially when I was sad and mourning my partner's death, back in 2002. My dogs mourned and missed him just as much as I did. Even their appetites dwindled. When my dogs are upset, it is usually with me or with each other especially when one of the other dogs has taken one of their toys. Even though toys cause the biggest problem, they forget quickly and within moments can be very happy playing with each other. When Beau-Baggins, a male, my recent rescue dog arrived nine months ago, my two female Aussies were not happy. The first few months were bedlam. There was much jealousy and jockeying for position. I had to keep Beau in the crate most of the time. Do dogs have emotions? Both Marlo and Bandit were extremely jealous and protective of me when Beau was present. They did not want to share my affection with him. Marlo my oldest female, always comes between myself and Beau. She watches him like a hawk. It has taken her a good six months to get accustomed to him, and now she’ll let him lie beside her without growling. Some emotions are constant such as jealousy, even though Marlo and Bandit have been together for nine years, Marlo is still jealous of Bandit. Now, 3 years later, Beau is jealous of the attention I give the other two.

Check out the labels on the dry food and cans that you are giving them. For example, if it says on the packaging poultry meal or poultry by-products, you can be sure it is the refuse of the animal such as bones, head, feet, intestines etc., things that normally one would throw out. Read what Per Schonbeck, a veterinarian from Denmark, has to say about dog food at 10 dog food ingredients to avoid. I never feed my dogs dog food from a can, and I give them the best dry food I can find after reading the contents. Every day, I feed them beef, or chicken, or liver mixed with vegetables, rice, and fruit such as apples which they love. Besides healthy food, I give them supplements such Calcium, and Omego 3, I also attribute their good health to a natural herbal Animal Maintenance Formula called A.M.F.-W from Pure Herbs Ltd. which I give to them daily. I highly recommend 100% natural liquid herbs for all sorts of problems and sicknesses. I use them regularly and am now working as a distributor. This formula does the following:
Since I have been using A.M.F.-W, I have not had to visit the veterinarian for the past 5 years. You can order this formula from me at

Marlo has developed a cyst on her back and I have been giving her CST-M (good for humans and animals) combined of:
The cyst has been decreasing in size because the herbs in this formula help to rid the body of catabolic waste tissue and promotes lymphatic drainage from those areas where catabolic wastes have collected. CST-M is also worked favorably for biliary stones/gravel, hepatic and problems of the spleen. It is also works on hemorrhoids and gastro-intestinal disorders due to capillary swelling of abdominal organs. To find out more about herbs read, herbs for pets.

I’ve also told them that they needed to learn to accept him since he is here to stay.Marlo is the one I always put in charge and she’s been busy teaching him the rules in the house. But, there have been some stand-offs regarding the toys which at this point Beau has taken over. Once in awhile, Marlo will show her senior position by keeping one of the toys beside her. Toys always cause the biggest commotion. Do dogs have emotions? It is important to realize that, yes, they do.
