My dog has picked up a nervous tick that she never had before. I see her sitting and shaking like she's cold but it's really warm out. Have you heard of a dog doing this before?

Hello and yes :( dogs can display nervous ticks or tremors in various situations. It's important to observe your dog's behavior and consider any recent changes or potential triggers that may be causing the nervousness. If the behavior persists or worsens, it's advisable to consult with a veterinarian

I would rule out illness first. If the dog has an infection or fevered, they will shake even if it is warm outside. The second consideration would be fear or anxiety. But if it is happening frequently and in a lot of environments and situations when it didn't used to happen in those circumstances, it likely won't be fear.

As mentioned above, my first thought is that your dog is nervous or anxious about something. I would comfort her and try to suss out if something is worrying her!
