For many Britons, reading daily horoscopes is a familiar ritual. Now, according to astrological experts, our canine companions might also have their personalities shaped by the stars.
Professional astrologer Joanne Jones from Trusted Psychics claims that dogs exhibit distinct traits and temperaments that align with their zodiac signs. Understanding your dog's astrological profile could provide deeper insight into their behaviour and help identify the most compatible owner type.
Understanding Canine Zodiac Personalities
Joanne Jones explains that knowing your dog's zodiac sign can help you comprehend why they might act out, crave attention, or become particularly clingy at times. She states: "Dogs have distinct traits and temperaments that can mirror the qualities of their star signs. When you know your dog's zodiac sign, you start to understand them on a deeper level."
The astrologer suggests that a dog's star sign can influence everything from their general mood to how they interact with strangers and other animals. Certain signs naturally gravitate toward adventure, while others prefer strict routines and familiar environments.

Understanding these astrological influences can help owners better meet their pet's needs, whether that involves providing more adventure, establishing stronger routines, or offering additional emotional support.
