Why Do Dogs Make Sounds While Sleeping
Samoyed (detailed introduction)
Have you ever observed the state of your dog while sleeping? People often say that dogs like to make sounds while sleeping. Why do dogs sometimes bark or make noises without any external disturbance?
Generally speaking, there are many reasons why dogs make sounds while sleeping. For example, it could be a cold, or they could be dreaming, and of course, it could also be caused by rhinitis or other nasal cavity diseases. If, usually, the dog is healthy without illnesses, then the sounds made during sleep are mostly from dreaming; sometimes they are pleasant dreams, and sometimes they might be nightmares.
If the sounds are caused by a cold or other illnesses, then the dog will also display related symptoms in daily life. For example, a dog with a cold might have a fever, runny nose, dry nose leather, lack of energy, and loss of appetite. In such cases, the dog needs treatment. Once the dog recovers, the strange sounds during sleep will disappear.
Sometimes the sounds the dog makes are a way to remind the owner that it is feeling unwell and needs care. At this time, what we can do is to understand and not scold the dog for making noises late at night.
