Why is my dog walking in circles?

If you notice that your dog has begun to walk in circles regularly, you will want to visit a vet as this may be a sign of something amiss with your pet’s health. 

The GastroBalance has investigated this issue and the reasons may be really different: 

• Inner ear infection 
• Vestibular syndrome 
• Injuries
  
• Obsessive compulsive disorder 

If you suspect that your dog may have a problem that is causing it to walk in circles, there are a couple of tests that can be performed. 

First, try to distract your dog and encourage it to move in the opposite direction that it is spinning. This is because is there is some kind of neurological issue, the dog will not be able to change direction easily. 

The second test is to check your dog’s eyes. One who has no brain issues will have the ability to focus easily on things. If your dog has eyes that dilate randomly, and act blind, then you will need to have them inspected for brain injury. 

Finally, the reason may be a dog indigestion. We recommend GastroBalance Advanced Probiotics For Dogs to restore a digestive function of your dog and to balance the gut microflora.
