Dogs are masters of relaxation – on average, they spend between 12 to 14 hours sleeping each day. For puppies, senior dogs, or larger breeds, this duration may extend up to 18 hours per day. The amount of sleep varies depending on several factors, including age, activity level, health, and breed. Adequate sleep is essential for bodily regeneration, well-being, and the proper functioning of the nervous system. Ensuring a comfortable sleeping spot, such as a modern dog bed, promotes healthy rest.
Most Common Sleeping Positions in Dogs
Side Sleeping Position
This is one of the most frequent positions observed in dogs. The dog lies on its side with legs stretched out. This posture indicates complete relaxation and a sense of security. On a cozy dog bed from Purre, dogs can easily find comfort in this position, especially when the surface is soft and adapts to their body.
Curled-Up Position
When a dog curls up into a ball, it suggests a need for warmth or a slightly more vigilant state. This position reflects the natural instinct from times when dogs had to protect their bodies during sleep. A durable dog bed from Purre, resistant to wear and tear and providing insulation, is ideal for dogs who prefer this curled-up position.
Sleeping on the Back
Lying on the back with paws in the air signifies complete trust and relaxation. Only dogs that feel entirely safe in their surroundings sleep this way. Purre dog beds, which are chew-resistant and offer appropriate softness and durability, perfectly support their bodies in this position.
The "Sphinx" Position
In this posture, the dog lies with its front legs extended and head raised. This is a more alert sleeping position but still indicates that the dog feels comfortable. On a well-proportioned and high-quality Purre dog bed, dogs have a cozy spot even in this stance.
Additional Aspects of Dog Sleep
Snoring
If your dog snores, it could be due to the structure of its airways (common in brachycephalic breeds) or an uncomfortable sleeping position. Modern dog beds from Purre with high-quality foam can help improve breathing quality during sleep.
Twitching and Movement During Sleep
Have you noticed your dog moving its paws or whining while asleep? This likely indicates that your pet is dreaming! Dogs, much like humans, experience deep sleep phases during which their bodies may react to dreams. A comfortable, cozy dog bed from Purre helps them transition peacefully through each sleep phase.
