my puppy sleep habits

19 11:35:30

Question
I have a 6 1/2 month old puggle. It seems to me and others that for a puppy he sleeps too much. How much should a dog of this age sleep daily? he's been to the vet and neutered so I know his health is fine.

Answer
Just like some people,some dogs sleep more then others,and it's only a worry if they sleep very deeply and are hard to wake up

Some dogs sleep as much 14 hours a day or even more and others only sleep for 8 hours-it depends on the activity of the dog
