    9 Signs Your Pet is Depressed

So how do you know if your four-legged friend is feeling down? Put the following nine signs on your radar and talk to your vet if you notice any of them. Much like with humans, there are numerous options for treating depression in pets, and the sooner you recognize the signs, the sooner your pet can start getting treatment.

      Going to the Bathroom in the House or Outside of the Litterbox

      People often think that when pets urinate or defecate outside designated areas, they're mad or angry. While that can be the case, they may also be sad. "They may be so down that they don't have the desire to get up to go outside or move to their litterbox," Nardi says.
