You are not the only thing out there that has been affected by covid. There are plenty of animals that have been affected but I will be talking about dogs. You may be surprised by this, assuming that they were fine as they were getting more attention than before, but I do mean dogs. Dogs are very social animals and they like to be with other dogs to play with them. Now during covid people didn't want to leave their house because of the risk of getting covid. And if people don’t go outside then dogs can't go outside either. But dogs still have to go to the bathroom so people usually went on shorter walks. And that really affects dogs when they have to stay inside all day because then they have nothing to do all day. I have a dog and during covid my dog was sad because she didn't get as many walks as she wanted but now my dog is playful and happy.
Now the second reason that covid affected dogs is that dogs could not see other dogs
I got a dog during covid and she was and still is not nice to other dogs. She growls and snarls at dogs when they come close. If you got a dog during the pandemic that dog will be much more aggressive than a dog you got after or before the pandemic. When dogs are not properly socialized it's not good for them because they will get really lonely and when they are lonely they don't have that much energy.
Conclusively, don’t think you’re the only one who’s been affected by Covid, even our furry friends were impacted.
