You’re probably already very familiar with your dog’s sleeping habits (as a true ARISTOPETER!), but if you’re new to the subject, or simply want more information, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about your ARISTOPERRO’s rest.
Dogs, just like us, have the same need for rest as any human, as well as dreams and nightmares. However, depending on the type of dog you have, its age, or even its size, your dog will sleep more or fewer hours a day.
The first factor that affects their rest is the amount of physical activity they engage in during the day. If you want your pet to rest better and sleep more peacefully, try increasing the frequency and intensity of walks, since the more exercise they get during the day, the better they will sleep. All of this should take into account that dogs can naturally be either very active or very lazy.
The next factor you should consider is age. Adult dogs generally rest for an average of 13 hours a day, spread throughout the day, with the most sleep occurring at night. Older dogs and puppies, on the other hand, spend practically the entire day lying down, sleeping or resting.
Size and breed also affect the number of hours they sleep. Some adult dogs sleep between 15 and 16 hours a day. Giant breeds, for example, can sleep as many as 18 hours, since their energy expenditure is greater than that of smaller breeds.
Of course, every dog is different and has its own particularities. However, what is certain is that to help them rest, you should take care of both their diet and their routines. It is also very important for your ARISTOPERRO to have its own comfortable, warm place where it can rest properly.
