Catherine Ashe, DVM, discusses sleep in dogs. She notes the various influences on how much they sleep, as well as sleep patterns. She quotes one source who estimates that dogs sleep anywhere from 48 percent to 58 percent of the time. Her perspectives make good social media, e-newsletter and website content.
