Dogs dream just like humans do! They experience REM sleep, allowing them to process their emotions and experiences while dreaming.
Dogs have sleep cycles that include non-REM and REM stages, averaging around 20 minutes each. REM sleep is when they dream!
Dreams are crucial for dogs’ emotional and cognitive health, helping them learn and develop by processing daily activities.
Look for signs like twitching, paw paddling, or soft vocalizations—these indicate your dog is dreaming in REM sleep.
To enhance your dog’s sleep quality, provide a comfy sleeping area, regular exercise, and a consistent routine for a happier, healthier pup!
