My dog likes the bathroom!

I have to agree with most of the others, it may be that it's cooler in there. We had a large, hairy dog who didn't take well to the Florida heat even with the A/C on in the house. He was an older dog and he used to lay on the bathroom floor from time to time during the day and always at night. He preferred our bathroom for some reason.

Is it a tile or bare floor, ours likes it because it's cooler in there. Dogs are smart they know how to take care of their needs if it's available.

My rotwieller lays in the bathroom too. He likes it in there it's cool on that floor in there, with the water in the air and there is a vent in there. Most of the rest of the house has carpet.

I would suspect that the reason you four footed friend likes that area is becuase it's cool and quiet and peaceful place. Just like us dogs like some time to themselves.

Hey reiny! I do know that my cats also like the bathroom! I think that they like it because of the tile floors. I know that when it is hot that is the coolest room to be in! My cats that I had before Star & Luna also liked the bathroom! Maybe it is just an animal thing! They just like being in a nice cool room and out of the way where they feel safe and not bothering anyone!

My labrador likes laying in the bathroom, the floor can be quite cold sometimes so I think she may do it to help herself cool down. I have to be carefull when I have a shower or bath as well because they both try to get in with me lol They do follow me all over the house but love water so they keep trying to jump in with me lol

My cats do that especially in the summer, and also, in the winter because there is a floor vent where the heat comes out. One of my cats tends to do it more than the other two, and she likes the rugs. I believe there is something in the rubber backing that smells good to the cat. Maybe it is the same for the dog.

Hi reiny,I notice that dog's and cat's both love to hang out in the bathroom. My cat camps out in the bathroom all the time but he doesn't sleep on the tile floor, he sleeps on the soft bathroom rug. I don't mind him being in there except when I have to make a mad dash to the bathroom in the middle of the night and I almost always have to remove his massive cat body just so I can do my business and he doesn't like me to touch him when he's napping and he often bites and scratches me when I move him out of my way or when I step over him he attacks my legs . My theory to why dogs and cat's like to sleep in the bathroom is because they like to sleep in small semi-private enclosed spaces that are cool temperature wise. Cat's & dog's love bathrooms and they love to pester their humans while they are on the can also. My cat sometimes can open the bathroom door if it's not locked correctly then before I know it the door is wide open while I'm sitting there and the cat is like " Oohhh HeEYY!!!"..

If you have tiles I expect it is cool in there.Men are so funny arn't they think they notice everything and feel they need to find a reason for everything,thats why we love them.

Our dogs love the bathroom floor too and yes it is because the bathroom floor is usually the most coolest floor in the house except for basement floors.

Maybe it's because of the cold tiles. My dogs used to do the same thing back in our previous house. But since we moved to a smaller place and the bathroom is also kinda small and sometimes wet, my dogs avoid our bathroom at all cost. At least that's what I thought. I found out a couple of days ago that my female dog has a habit of going inside the bathroom and playing with the water when we're away and we'd come back to find out that the door can be opened with a slight push and that's the reason why she could get inside. And this is the dog who hates taking baths. seriously.

probably she feels comfortable there...our dog does almost the same, but in the libing room...he takes his own blanket there and spend all day long, if he can :)
