My dog hit her head on the car window while barking. Is she okay?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | spayed | 5 years and 5 months old | 45 lbs

My dog was in my car coming home from a bath. My neighbor approached me as I got out of the car to ask a question. My dog is reactive and kept barking and while barking hit her head on my back windshield several times(head bounced up when she barked) before I could get her out and inside. She has been acting fine, playing, eating, walks fine but I just want to be sure. No blood and no bumps, eyes look normal, pupils the same size

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about L. From your description, it sounds like she is fine. I'd just keep an eye on her for the next day to be safe, but I suspect there will be no issues. I hope this helps!
