Why Is My Puppy Crying and Whining?

Identify the cause

The first step is to try to identify the cause of your puppy's crying and whining. Once you know the cause, you can start to address it.

Provide comfort

If your puppy is crying and whining because they are feeling anxious or insecure, try to provide them with comfort.

Separation anxiety

Puppies who are separated from their owners may cry and whine because they are feeling anxious and insecure.

Pain

If a puppy is feeling pain, they may cry and whine to let you know.

Discomfort

If a puppy is uncomfortable, such as if they are too hot or too cold, they may cry and whine to get your help.

New environment

Puppies can be scared or stressed when they are in a new environment. They may cry and whine to try to get back to their familiar surroundings.

Medical condition

If your puppy is crying and whining more than usual, it could be a sign of a medical condition. Take your puppy to the vet to rule out any medical problems.
