In a recent Reddit video titled "My dogs hate our smoke detector check up", a pair of adorable dogs showcase their genuine fear and comical reactions during a routine smoke detector test. The clip has quickly gained traction, with viewers sharing their own relatable experiences and tips for handling similar situations.

The video begins with an innocent announcement: "Please like and subscribe!" Seconds later, the chaos ensues. The smoke detector's piercing beeps send the dogs into a frenzy, showcasing just how sensitive our furry friends are to unexpected loud noises.

One viewer empathizes, "Oh yes, this is common. In fact, one of our dogs used to be so terrified of this that even when I got on a chair to change a light bulb, he would start panicking." Another adds humorously, "Cute puppers btw :)"

The comments section is flooded with tales of other dogs reacting similarly. One user humorously notes, "seems like you have 2 extra smoke detectors," while another shares, "Our dog got scared by our smoke detector chirping when she was extremely young, and ended up being afraid of ALL unexpected loud sounds, including phone texting sounds. She would rush out the dog door anytime someone got a text, and had their sound on."

The community of dog lovers comes together to offer practical advice. "Well, they have a much greater sensitivity to sound than we do, it's not going to damage their ears or anything but it's pretty common for them to be scared by it. Just take them outside during the 'check-ups,'" suggests one user. Another practical tip includes training: "Teach them to go into their crates or a certain spot in the house when this alarm sounds. Makes it easier if something happens to rescue them."

A lighthearted comment reads, "Don’t blame’em," while another user reflects on their own experiences: "I used to go nuts like that whenever our smoke detector started beeping when the battery was low."

Some users share unique solutions they’ve found effective. "Our dog heads right out the dog door, so it works well as a fire drill!" reveals one. Another recounts, "My dog will run and hide or try to run away, if she hears the beep even out walking from someone else’s house she will run to her home. It’s a big No! 😂🥰"

The emotional impact on the dogs doesn't go unnoticed. "Our little baby trembles when that thing goes off. I feel so sorry for her when it happens," sympathizes one user. Another shares a more drastic scenario: "Mine is terrified even with the low battery beep; she pees herself. I feel so bad. One time the detector went off when I was cooking and she ran upstairs, got on her bed and peed all over. Now I take the battery out if I know I'm going to make smoke/steam when cooking steaks."

In a humorous twist, one user comments, "They're just making sure everyone wakes up, because some dummy set things on fire again. We'd be lost without dogs to help us." Another sums it up perfectly: "I think it's more accurate to say the dog on the bed hates it and the golden chooses to join in."

This video not only brings out the humorous side of pet ownership but also highlights the importance of understanding and accommodating our pets' sensitivities. Whether it's through laughter or empathy, the community's response to "My dogs hate our smoke detector check up" shows the universal love and care we have for our furry companions.

Well, they have a ***much*** greater sensitivity to sound than we do, it's not going to damage their ears or anything but it's pretty common for them to be scared by it. Just take them outside during the "check ups."
