Your old dog pacing in circles is worrisome. There are a few varying reasons why older dogs may start pacing a lot. Suppose you have an elderly dog, restless at night, usually, it’s an age-related behavioral change which may link to other greater cognitive or physical problems. They might suffer from various physical or cognitive problems linked to their recent pacing back and forth. Common causes include neurological conditions, Age-related cognitive decline, Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, Stroke, Brain tumor, Vestibular syndrome, Blindness, Stress or anxiety, Itchy skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, and Other pain from a wound, injury or illness. As dogs grow into seniors, their behavior changes, you may start noticing that your old dog has trouble lying down, they may begin restlessly pacing, most likely at night.
