Why does your senior dog seem to sleep so… loudly? You might notice twitching, paddling, vocalizing, or even pacing at night. It’s easy to chalk it up to “just getting older,” but there’s more going on beneath the surface. As dogs age, changes in a part of the brain called 🧠🐶 the PONS 🧠🐶 (a small but important region in the brainstem) can affect how they move, sleep, and respond to the world around them.

This twitching helps build muscle tone and form the neural connections needed for motor coordination, and it's often associated with the puppy dreaming. | Peggy Glidden

He was lying on the bed, legs twitching and moving as if he were running in his sleep. At first, I smiled thinking it was cute but then I noticed his body tensing, little twitches turning into jerks, and a strange restlessness I couldn’t ignore. I looked around the room and my heart sank… a small scented candle had tipped over earlier, and he had licked some of the wax.
