Why does my old dog bark all night? How can I help him sleep?

Question

I have a small dog that is around 15year old. He is mixed with Bassett hound and terrier and poodle. Every night he will keep on braking non stop. Is there anything that can help him get sleep at night and not doing that.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. Some dogs can develop canine cognitive dysfunction which is similar to Alzheimer's disease in people. This can be accompanied with night time anxiety like sundowners syndrome in humans. If this is the case, I typically administer anti-anxiety medication at night to help calm the dog. Ask his veterinarian if this could be helpful in his case. I hope this information helps!
