When to Be Concerned About Dog Sleep
While dogs naturally sleep a lot, sudden changes in sleep patterns can indicate health issues. See your vet if your dog is sleeping significantly more or less than usual, having trouble settling, showing signs of sleep disturbances, or seems lethargic even after rest.
Tips for Better Dog Sleep
Provide a consistent bedtime routine, a comfortable bed in a quiet area, adequate daytime exercise, and avoid feeding right before bed. Puppies benefit from crate training for secure nighttime sleep.
