Why does my senior dog sometimes bark at night? - Countryside Veterinary Clinic

We think that dogs get senile just the way people do. Sometimes, they get their day and nights mixed up. For instance, an older dog might sleep all day long and then get up at night and go prowling around and panting. They might bark. So, that's called cognitive dysfunction syndrome, and we have some things we can do to help with that.
