Does your dog sleep with it's eyes open?

Question

We have a Beagle and he always seems to have his eyes open when he sleeps. It really scares me because half the time I think he's dead so I have to pound on the window to get him to wake up just to reassure myself. My husband and I have never seen a dog do this before so we're just curious if anyone else's dog, cat etc. does this.

Answer 1

maybe its loney or it just doesnt sleep some dogs are like that they close there eyes and open it alittle

Answer 2

my dog does that they have thin covering over their eyes it does not bother them

Answer 3

Mine sleep with there eyes half open, but i have never seen them open all the way when asleep. I think that would freak me out a little also.

Answer 4

i have seen my beagle pitt mix sleep with her eyes open a little slit, but never all the way. i think she feels she is guarding the house and has to stay alert, hope this helped!

Answer 5

sometimes my dog will open her eyes a little when she is sleeping, But not all the way. I think they are just dreaming :)

Answer 6

Answer 7

I have a cat that freaks me out when he sleeps.  His inner eyelid is closed, but his eyes are open...it's creepy, but I've gotten used to it.

Answer 8

I believe so. My Labrador Sleeps with his eyes open all the time. It scares me half to death. I'll wake up, and there's this thing staring at me, snoring away! But yes, I believe it is normal.
