This week is Deaf Dog Awareness Week. 🧏🐕
Hearing loss can be a big adjustment for both you and your dog. As their hearing changes, they may startle more easily because they can't hear people or other pets approaching.
One pattern you can introduce to make your dog more comfortable is to create gentle vibrations when waking them up, such as walking nearby them or lightly tapping their bed, rather than touching them unexpectedly.
Most importantly, remember that every dog is different. Take the time to learn what works best for your furbaby and support them as they adapt to their new normal.
