Why Your Dog Keeps Changing Sleeping Spots

If your dog keeps getting up and switching spots through the night, it usually means something is unsettling them. The most common reasons are an unfamiliar environment with no sense of security, separation anxiety after boarding or time away from you, nervousness triggered by strangers or new pets in the home, or an underlying physical problem that causes pain. Most cases improve with a stable routine and a safe, comfortable den, but restless sleep joined by other symptoms can point to illness and deserves a vet check. Watch closely and respond early.
