Dogs Sleep Half Their Lives Away
Did you know that dogs sleep an average of 12 to 14 hours a day? Puppies and older dogs can sleep even more, up to 18-20 hours. This is the time when a dog's body regenerates – joints, muscles, and the nervous system. That's why it's so important to provide your dog with a cozy bed that supports regeneration. Purre products are the perfect combination of comfort, design, and quality that promote healthy sleep.

Dogs Dream Too!
Just like humans, dogs dream during the REM phase. Studies show that their brains are active during sleep, and dogs can dream about everyday situations – walks, play, or interactions with other dogs. That's why you can often see paw twitching, rapid eye movements, or even quiet whimpering when a dog is "reliving" their dreams.

Sleeping Position Says a Lot About a Dog's Well-being
- On their side – means the dog feels safe and comfortable.
- Curled up – a natural protective position, often adopted on colder days.
- On their back with paws up – proof of complete trust in their surroundings.
Our modern dog beds from Purre are designed so that a dog can sleep comfortably in any position.

Dogs Change Positions Up to 20 Times a Night
Does your dog fidget at night? It's completely normal. Dogs change positions to improve circulation and avoid numbness. That's why it's important that their bed is adequately resilient. At Purre, we offer beds filled with high-quality polyurethane foam that perfectly adapts to the dog's body, providing comfort and healthy sleep.

Digging in the Bed – Instinct or Habit?
Wondering why your dog "digs" in their bed before sleep? It's an instinctive behavior inherited from wild ancestors. Dogs in the wild dug to create a comfortable and safe place to sleep. Our strong dog beds from Purre are resistant to intensive use, so your dog can satisfy their natural needs without worrying about damaging the material.

Sleep is a crucial element of a dog's life, so it's worth taking care of its quality. By choosing products from Purre, you're opting for modern dog beds that combine functionality, durability, and timeless design. Give your pet the comfort they deserve.
