Your Dog’s Horoscope for 2023

The doggie zodiac holds the key to understanding how your pup will behave during this eventful month. See if your pup’s personality matches their sign and which zodiac best describes your furbaby.

Before we jump in, here’s a quick rundown of January 2023 and some fun activities you and your furbaby can partake in:

  • Until January 29, 2023, Venus is in retrograde, so you may notice that your dog is a bit quieter. Organize a fly-ball race with other pups to get your dog excited again.
  • The New Moon on January 2 may make your dog more laid-back. A long walk in the park will keep your pooch engaged and joyful.
  • Mercury retrograde extends from January 14 to February 3 and might cause confusion and frustration for your pup. A long run or rollerblading are fun ways to get some exercise and fresh air.
  • The full moon will make your dog want to go for longer or more frequent walks. Besides increasing fluid intake, offer your dog fresh food and interesting treats to stimulate their senses.

Taurus horoscope

These Earth sign puppies enjoy indulging their tummies, especially when there are so many snackalicious treats available.
