Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | 5 months and 25 days old

My dog keeps on staring at herslef maybe ,in the mirror. But unlike i have seen many of the videos where dogs play with their own reflection and all that, but she doesn't do any of that. She just keeps on staring..is it like ok? Or she's seeing something?

I wouldn't be concerned by this behavior. It sounds like Silky is just exploring her surroundings and likes the mirror. As long as she is behaving normally otherwise I would not be concerned. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
