What Your Dog’s Stare REALLY Means — The Surprising Truth Every Pet Owner Needs to Know!
Why Does My Dog Stare at the Wall?
Have you ever caught your dog staring at the wall or some other random object? Did it cross your mind that they have supernatural powers and your dog can see ghosts? No? Well, another (more plausible) reason is that their super-sensitive hearing can hear something in the wall, like a mouse scurrying around. Or their super-sniffer nose can smell something interesting, and they are concentrating on working out what it is and where it’s coming from.
If you have an older dog, blankly staring at walls or other objects can be a sign of cognitive function decline. This is a condition similar to Alzheimer’s disease in people. Signs to watch for include pacing, snapping at “flies” in the air, sudden nighttime hyperactivity, not understanding basic commands and potty accidents. If you notice these signs of cognitive dysfunction, you should contact your vet for a check-up.
