Is it OK if some dogs twitch in their sleep?

As a matter of fact, it is. When dogs twitch in their sleep, we don’t need to do anything. It’s completely normal, even if it looks like our angelic pups are in complete distress.

However, it does make you question whether they are dreaming of something nice, like chewing on a bone and playing fetch, or other scary stuff, like loud fireworks and rumbling thunderstorms.

Even if experts don’t know for sure what dogs really dream about, it is probably very similar to what we dream, which is a mashup of daytime reality infused with other memories.

Owners’ knowledge of their little furry friends’ habits, behaviors, and activities could point toward what the dog is dreaming about. As you grow older together, you might learn what they enjoy and fear.
