Teething Puppy Sleep: Why Your Pup is Sleeping More & What to Do

Puppies may sleep more than usual while teething due to the discomfort and pain they experience from the erupting teeth. Teething typically occurs between the ages of 3 weeks to 6 months, with puppies often becoming restless and fussy during this period. Puppies may also chew on objects to relieve the discomfort in their mouths, which can lead to drowsiness. Additionally, the physical stress of teething can cause puppies to feel fatigued, leading to more frequent naps and longer sleeping hours.
