VeterinarianSometimes a dog having a particularly exciting dream that involves chasing can look a bit like a dog having a seizure. Whereas a dog having a dream is nothing to worry about, if your dog has a seizure then afterwards, he should see a vet. In both cases (whether its a dream or a seizure) do not wake or disturb the dog. If you are unsure which is which, then video the event on your smartphone and show it to the vet. -
