Do you reflexively leave a light on when leaving your pets home alone? Many of us do, but chances are it does more for our peace of mind than theirs.
While it’s always a good idea to let pets have access to ambient light, most don’t need lights left on at night. Like us, dogs are most active during the day, and their activity is prompted by natural light from outside. In contrast, cats are more active at night. That said, both dogs and cats see better in the dark than we do, thanks to the light reflective layer in the back of their eyes.
However, pets who don’t see well can benefit from extra light to help keep them safe and tamp down their anxiety. And whenever possible, every pet benefits from a steady light routine.
