There could be many reasons on why dogs shake. It can be nerves, cold, pain, etc. If Paquito is not exhibiting any signs of pain, I would question if there is something that is making him anxious in your home or he may be cold. If you are unsure if he is in pain I would recommend a physical examination with your veterinarian. To see if it is nerves you can try (although may not always work) a thundershirt. This can not only provide comfort but warmth. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
