HELP! My puppy is ALWAYS sleeping- like......ALWAYS! Should he be sleeping so much? Is there something wrong with him? He is currently 8 weeks old. Thank you!

(my definition of "Always" in always sleeping: He wakes up- he eats, he goes back to sleep, he plays, he goes to sleep, he sleeps, he sleeps, he sleeps, he wakes up, he goes to the potty, he comes back in and sleeps, he sleeps, he sleeps. If i had to estimate about how many hours a day he's actually awake- it would for sure be less then 10)

He's a puppy...what they do is eat, sleep, poop and play. Just like human infants, the require a lot of sleep. Sounds to me like he's a normal puppy. As long as he's eating and drinking normally and has normal bowel movements I wouldn't worry too much. As he gets older he'll be more active...trust me. lol

If you're still concerned, a call to the vet is free.

Growing puppies sleep an average of 75% to 80% of the day the rest is filled with exploring, playing, eating, and pottying lol As long as when he's awake, he's active, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Char is 14 weeks and I noticed this week he seems to be sleeping less. Totally normal, I was worrying about the same thing when we first got him.

Thanks guys!!! I'm sooo glad to hear sleepy puppy is what he's supposed to be! yay Here he is... still asleep lol
