How much time does a dog have to sleep?

Answer 1

It depends on several factors. One would be the age of the dog. A older dog will typically sleep much more than a puppy. It also depends on what they have going on. If a dog is alone all day they will sleep much of the time. If they are out doing something they will probably be awake all day long and just sleep at night.

Answer 2

As with humans it depends on the age of the dog, but not consistent with humans it also depends on the breed. However, on average adult dogs sleep about half their life typically 12 hours each day, some breeds as many as 18 hours. Activity level affects how much an individual dog will sleep. For example a Search and Rescue or Law Enforcement K-9 will sleep much less than an average dog at home.

Answer 3

There isn't a specific amount of time because it kind of depends on how old your dog is. For example, if your dog is a puppy, it should get plenty of rest just like babies do. But if your dog is an adult it doesn't need as much time to sleep as the puppy. I hope my answer helped. :)
