Spending a day at the beach can be an exciting adventure not only for people but also for their pets. Dogs love the chance to run, splash, and explore new surroundings, often returning home tired but happy. After such active outings, it’s no surprise that our furry friends need some serious rest to recharge. This was perfectly captured in an Instagram video showing a dog completely passed out after a big day by the water.
Owner captures dog passed out on their bed after ‘big beach day’ in adorable video
Instagram user @thatbrowndoghazel recently shared a heartwarming video of their chocolate Labrador, Hazel, completely zonked out after a day at the beach. The onscreen text sets the scene: “someone had a big beach day and is now enjoying an afternoon nap.” Hazel lies sprawled out on the bed, belly exposed and paws stretched in the air, looking utterly relaxed and comfortable.
To top it off, the gentle breeze from a table fan and soft sunlight streaming through the window add to the calm atmosphere. In the video’s caption, the owner shares that Hazel is “absolutely passed out in our bed,” with “sand and hair everywhere.”
Fans of the video expressed their appreciation and affection for Hazel’s relaxed state. One commenter said, “We are so happy when our baby sleeps soundly like this. They deserve this kind of peace and rest.” Another user chimed in, “Ahh, the life of a well-loved dog,” recognizing the comfort that comes with a caring home. Others chimed in with humor and empathy, like “Okay that dog is ALL OF US after a long beach day,” showing how relatable the tiredness feels after a fun-filled outing.
If you’re planning a beach day with your dog, it’s important to keep safety and fun in balance. Make sure your pup has plenty of fresh water to stay hydrated and bring a shady spot or umbrella to protect them from the sun. Keep an eye on them to avoid overheating and rinse off any salt or sand after swimming to prevent irritation.
Toys and treats can keep them entertained, but always be mindful of local beach rules regarding dogs. With these tips, your pup can enjoy a safe, fun-filled day by the water, and maybe crash just as peacefully afterward.
