Dogs often like to sleep on their stomach recently. Why?

It is not surprising that dogs like to sleep on their stomachs, because their body structure is related to physiological reasons. The dog's stomach is flat, and there is no diaphragm to separate the chest and abdominal cavity. It is more convenient to digest food when sleeping on your stomach.

In addition, standing or sitting for a long time will also make dogs feel tired. Sleeping on your stomach can relax the muscles of your limbs and relieve fatigue.

2. weather reasons

The weather also has a great influence on dogs. Usually in hot weather, dogs are more willing to sleep on their stomachs. This is because dogs don't have the ability of self-regulating body temperature like humans, so they release their body temperature through lying posture with small surface area and large contact area.

3. Security requirements

Dogs sleeping on their stomach can better protect themselves and show higher alertness. This is because the dog's neck and abdomen are the most vulnerable parts. Sleeping on your stomach can not only make your abdomen suffer the least threat, but also directly perceive the surrounding movements and improve your awareness and response to danger.

4, behavior habits

Some dogs sleep on their stomachs just because they have formed such a behavior habit. I may have slept in a certain situation or environment before, and I think this posture is more suitable for me than other postures. In this case, parents don't need to worry too much, just need to provide a comfortable sleeping environment for the dog.
