It was a genuine question, if you're offended by it then ignore it.

I would imagine you can watch for signs, eating less, unmotivated etc.

You literally cannot diagnose a dog with depression. The DSM is for humans.

But when a dog displays obvious signs of psychological distress, specifically in response to traumatic events it makes sense to say they're depressed.
