 you may just be surprised to find out it turns out that science states that it might not be the best idea to sleep with your pets like your dog yep you heard me right

 

* Increase your chances of sickness and infection 

According to the veterinarian health expert dr. Jane Heller of Charles Stewart University close contact with your pet can increase your chances of sickness and infection interested in finding out why science says that it's not the best idea to sleep or hug your pets.

 number four bacterial dr. jane heller states that pets are not sterile so there's always some chance of bacterial or parasitic transfer from companion animals to humans and clearly those risks are greater if you're sleeping in or generally closely sharing the same environment as your animals for example you can actually get ear mites these are tiny little mites that are usually found in animals like cats and dogs but they can also be found in humans gross right they spread very quickly and are found within the ear canal of their hosts that's pretty disturbing to know but it's actually the truth there's always a risk of bacteria transferring from animals to humans and as much as it sucks to hear it is something you should take into consideration when you're sleeping with your pet especially if your pet is outside a lot or is in constant contact with wilderness or other animals just something to keep in mind 

by the way scientists also state that people should never hug their pets stick around till the end to find out number three fleas and ticks other things like fleas and ticks can also attach themselves to your bedding which will end up being a nuisance to clean even if you may not be able to see them on your dog they could still be there in order to minimize the risk of getting these things you should have your pets dewormed and vaccinated in addition you should be giving your pets regular baths as well as checking their ears for possible mites.

Risk of Suffocation

number two suffocation when people sleep with their pets there's also a risk of accidentally rolling over on them particularly if they're very small this can result in suffocation and potentially death although these chances are very slim it's better to be safe than sorry right number one interrupt sleep sleeping with a pet can also have a harmful effect on your health if you are a light sleeper it can disturb your sleep possibly causing increased stress throughout the day sleep is a huge part of our overall bodily health and if our pets tend to move around a lot or dream it may affect your sleeping patterns

 now that you know why scientists say it is dangerous to sleep with pets here is why they also say that it's dangerous to hug your dog or other animal if you own a dog or have owned a dog or animals in the past you know how hard it is not to shower them with affection 

 Now affection can be a ton of ear scratches or belly rubs for many of us though showering our pet with affection usually means hugging them after all they are just so adorable right but there have been a lot of arguments about whether or not you should be hugging your dog apparently dogs and other domestic animals don't really enjoy being hugged they just kind of deal withit. 

now since the general consensus is that you shouldn't hug your animals there's been some pushback for example certain online publications have firedback in their headlines with things like 25 dogs who clearly love hugs but it's important to know all the facts dog and animal psychology turns out this all started with a weekly column in Psychology Today called canine corner run 

By dr. Stanley Coren who has a long history of dog psychology in science that being said while corenz point of view on the matter should be taken seriously he does note that his column is based solely on observation and not a peer-reviewed study still simple behavior patterns provide an answer to the question should you hug your dog the big answer seems to be pointing to a big fat know anybody who's owned a dog or other fluffy cute furry domestic animal knows what their distressed animal looks like however you might notice they're showing those signs as you hug them the face animals make when you hug them the reason why we say they don't like being hugged is because of what they look like when we're hugging them dog.

cognition scientist dr.Alexandra Horowitz told ,The Insider they pin their ears back they lick their lips sort of like air licking or they yawn which is another stress behavior or they move to get away or they show this kind of whale eye posture you can see the whites of their eyes dogs will show behavior that shows they are uncomfortable when you're hugging them saysHorowitz sums it up quite easily by saying that dogs simply deal with being hugged when it comes to other animals like cats they will exhibit similar behavior and if you've ever owned a cat you probably already know what a cat does when it doesn't want to be picked up or hugged they can get pretty violent children and animals there is a danger in consistently hugging your pet though and that danger is the easily impressionable minds of children if you're a person who hugs your pet any child in your family may believe they can hug it too this is dangerous because plenty of pets have a lower threshold of patience for children even if a child in your home hugs your pet without problems the same may not happen with another animal all in all this is mostly common sense and you don't need to be a trained scientist in dog cognition to teach children the limitations of dealing with dogs or any animals still holding back on hugs in general may be the solution lastly dr. Horowitz explains that though we think we're spreading love to our pets via hugs it's probable that they do not quite see it that way so while we're not saying to stop hugging or sleeping with your pets it's always a good idea to keep certain things in mind when taking care of a pet pets become members of our family and make up a huge part of a person's life so if you're worried about your pets health or safety take some of these things.
