Can Dogs Have Nightmares?
YES! Dogs can have nightmares, just like people can. Your furbaby may bark or whine during sleep and even wake up suddenly looking a bit scared. There's no surefire way to stop a nightmare from happening, but we can help ease the process.
Some things you can try:
- Maintain a healthy sleep schedule, even on weekends.
- Don’t let your dog get overstimulated with TV/phone screens near bedtime.
- Don't overfeed or over-treat your pup right before bed.
- Make sure the room is comfortable, quiet, and dark.
- Play calming music and consider using calming pheromone diffusers.
