Symptoms

1. Veterinarians agree that during headaches, dogs will feel:

2. Throbbing in their temples
3. Sensitivity to light

Additionally, a dog with a headache may show these signs:

1. Avoidance of being touched on or around the head

2. Disinterest in food

3. Possible avoidance of sunlight, disinterest in going outside

4. Anxious activity, such as pacing or constant licking

5. Keeping the head low to the ground

6. Frequent napping or rest

Dogs' headaches can be caused by the same things as humans, such as:

1. Allergic reactions

2. Cold or flu

3. Overheating

4. Excessive activity (too much or vigorous movement of the head)
