Don’t be alarmed if a sleeping dog twitches or moves its paws. About this on Radio 1 reported President of the Russian Dog Federation Vladimir Golubev. According to him, most of the time involuntary movements occur in the fast phase of sleep. Additionally, the expert explained that the part of the animal’s brain that controls the body can also be turned off.
“Weak twitching of the limbs should not cause alarm. But if you observe intense, jerky movements even during periods of wakefulness, a diagnosis is necessary to rule out central nervous system dysfunction,” the canine expert continued.
If such disorders are detected in your pet, the expert advised not to delay the visit to a specialist.
Before that Golubev saidIs it possible to sleep in the same bed with a dog? According to him, it is necessary to weigh all the positive and negative arguments before putting a pet to bed. The expert stated that how comfortable it will be to rest in the same bed with an animal depends on its character, breed and size.
