Why Your Dog Twitches in His Sleep.

Just like us, dogs dream.

It is in the SWS stage that a dog breathes heavily while he is sleeping.

Animal experts theorize that dogs dream during the REM stage and act on their dreams by twitching or moving all four paws as if they were chasing a rabbit.

  • Why Twitchy Occurs in Dogs. Your dog may be twitching for the following reasons: Overexertion, Possibly Resulting in Dehydration. Should your dog engage in significant physical activity and/or he does not ingest enough fluids, he may experience an interruption of his muscle contractions. This can lead to his experiencing spasms.
