Fear, Pain, Excitement. Your dog may shiver due to fright or excitement, an occurrence common in smaller or excitable dog breeds. Some dogs tremble when they encounter other animals, or if they have a form of anxiety in which meeting other people makes them overly anxious. Loud noises ranging from thunderstorms to vacuum cleaners and power tools can also frighten dogs to a point of shivering. Shivering can also be a sign your dog is in pain.
For other uses, see Shiver (disambiguation) . Shivering (also called rigors or shuddering) is a bodily function in response to early hypothermia or just feeling cold in warm-blooded animals. When the core body temperature drops, the shivering reflex is triggered to maintain homeostasis. Skeletal muscles around begin to shake in small movements, creating warmth by expending energy. Shivering can also be a response to a fever, as a person may feel cold. During fever the hypothalamic set point for temperature is raised. The increased set point causes the body temperature to rise (pyrexia), but also makes the patient feel cold until the new set point is reached. Rigor occurs because the patient's body is effectively shivering in a physiological attempt to increase body temperature to the new set point.
