Twitching

Sad and Useless

Twitching while sleeping is more common in puppies or senior dogs, and just like humans, they tend to do this when they are dreaming or possibly as they move from one sleep stage into the next. This is yet another normal part of a dog’s sleep cycle, just as humans flow through a variety of sleep stages too. Another reason for twitching is also due to the brain stem sending a few mixed signals to relax the body’s muscles, causing twitching.
