Sick dogs may also turn down food and play.

When they're in a lot of distress, they may even cry or howl.

These can all be signs that a dog is dying, but they can also just be symptoms of (non-terminal) illness.

In any case, none of these things are evidence that dogs really understand when the end is near.

If your dog is experiencing pain, he may hunch, pant, shake, cry, whine, whimper, or groan. He may also growl or bite when approached or squint his eyes.
