While most dogs and cats have learned to settle in when we humans do, every so often some have problems settling down when the sun disappears. In this article, I’ll go through some of the reasons your pet may have trouble winding down, and what you can do to help them rest comfortably for the night. Dogs have been man’s best friend for a long time, which means they’ve had a lot of time to get used to our routines, including when it’s time to sleep.
