Did you know that puppies and senior dogs
can sleep up to 16-18 hours a day? Puppies need all the energy they can get to
meet the demands for growth and development, while senior pets are slowing down
and suffering from age-related issues, like arthritis or joint pains. Another
important reason why dogs seem contented to sleep all day is the lifestyle that
they have as pets. With their basic needs provided to them, they don’t have much
else to do. They don’t need to be always active or on guard for potential
predators, find mates, walk far and wide to hunt for prey, etc. When neutered,
their drive to reproduce is gone. Thus, there is a need to provide lots of
opportunities for physical and mental stimulation.
Since there are also health issues that may be
the underlying cause of your pet’s behavior, it is recommended that you bring
your pet to your animal hospital Norwalk,
CA for a checkup.
