As a veterinarian, I commonly hear that new puppy owners are alarmed by just how much a puppy sleeps. Dogs of all ages sleep more than us humans (lucky dogs, indeed), but the average number of hours puppies sleep a day is 16 to 18 â or even more.
According to Pet Place, the average adult dogs sleeps about 14 hours a day. This varies based on breed and size, however. Large breeds sleep more, while tiny dogs and working breeds -- such as shepherd dogs -- sleep less and are more active. The amount of sleep also varies based on how much excitement there is around.ewborn Puppies. The younger puppies are, the more they sleep. When they're awake, it's usually just to feed -- then go back to sleep. In fact, according to VCA Animal Hospitals, 90 percent of the time, newborn puppies are either sleeping or feeding.
