How much do dogs sleep?

On average, dogs spend 12 to 14 hours per day sleeping. Your dog’s particular sleep needs may vary around that range, depending on his age, size, breed, activity level, and overall health:

Larger breeds tend to sleep more than smaller breeds.
Working dogs with activity-filled days sleep less, while those who lead sedentary lives will sleep more.

Puppies can spend up to 20 hours sleeping a day. Growing and learning how to be a dog takes a lot of energy!
As dogs age into their senior years, they spend more time sleeping since they tire more easily.
