Just like the human being, sleeping is vital for dogs, during sleep, it gives the dog's body time to heal and provide a stable mood when they are awake. Dogs deprived of sleep will have a weaker immune system and are more prone to sickness, which has a huge effect on mood state and causes unwanted behavior in puppies such as nipping and biting.

Per the research, adult dogs need an average of 12-14 hours of sleep per day (including sleeping with their owner during the night). They need to get the remaining hours through the day, while the older dogs and puppies need more sleep, around 18-20 hours sleep to recover their energy consumption during the daytime.

How to provide a better sleeping quality for your dog?
1.ย Adequate and comfortable bed area
We offer a perfect bed for our dog, but why do they prefer sleeping on hard floor instead? The reason is the weather and wrong bedding. Imagine offering a warm cushion to your dog on hot weather, where they are unable to relieve the body heat, so choose to sleep on hard floor instead.
Sleeping on hard floors can develop structural issues and make it more difficult to get good sleep.
Arrr offers the perfect beddingย blanketย in two sizes and two color options to choose from. Cooling Blanket comes in duo-sides, one side made with skin-friendly Modal fabric and theย other side with Cooling sensation Fabric,ย and offers enough softness, suitable for dogs and cats to sleep comfortably on it.

3. Balanced Diet & Proper Hydration
Consuming a balanced diet that includes high-quality ingredients is essential for promoting good sleep in dogs. A balanced diet should contain appropriate levels of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.ย
A balancedย diet alsoย contributes to better digestion (digestive health plays a crucial roleย in promoting restful sleep). Gently cooked, fresh pet food is often easy to digest and can be beneficial for the microbiome, and improve sleep quality.
