How Much Do Puppies Sleep

How much does an 8 week old puppy sleep?

Most puppies will sleep about 18 to 20 hours a day to support their fast-growing brains and bodies. Puppies from 8 to 12 weeks old may seem to go from zero to 60 out of nowhere, then suddenly pass out to nap within minutes of being in overdrive.

Do puppies sleep a lot at 3 months?

15 hours a day should be a healthy 3 months old puppy sleep schedule. During a long nap, they can recharge their little body and keep going with all that puppy fun stuff later. Encourage your puppy to take a few daytime naps after lunch or intense playing outside.
