Nobody likes to have their child like a pet dog to howl and get all fussy over little things that did not even bother him before. So helping your dog sleep better and soundly is a major duty if you happen to own one, they are your child who needs to be well kept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listed below are a few tips to help your dog sleep better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6627e7f86a588\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6627e7f86a588\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/tips-help-dog-sleep-better\/#Consistency_%E2%80%93_Be_Consistent\" title=\"Consistency \u2013 Be Consistent\">Consistency \u2013 Be Consistent<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/tips-help-dog-sleep-better\/#Water_Intake\" title=\"Water Intake\">Water Intake<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/tips-help-dog-sleep-better\/#Avoid_Activities\" title=\"Avoid Activities\">Avoid Activities<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/tips-help-dog-sleep-better\/#A_Dash_of_Melatonin\" title=\"A Dash of Melatonin\">A Dash of Melatonin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/tips-help-dog-sleep-better\/#Sleepless_Dog_Owner_Problems\" title=\"Sleepless Dog Owner Problems\">Sleepless Dog Owner Problems<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consistency_%E2%80%93_Be_Consistent\"><\/span><strong>Consistency \u2013 Be Consistent<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs are fast learners who help them build stable relationships with better humans. So, one must be consistent with their canines. If your dog wakes up at odd hours in the night, they will get used to it and not sleep when required thus creating problems for themselves and you. Train your dog to sleep at a certain time so that both you and your dog sleep soundly. Set a standard time for your dog\u2019s last potty break of the day and don\u2019t have him go out again until the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read about getting your dog the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/best-orthopedic-dog-beds-reviewed\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ab420f;\">best orthopedic bed<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_Intake\"><\/span><strong>Water Intake<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep a check on the time when your dog intakes water. Dogs should stop drinking water at least two hours before bedtime.\u00a0 This can easily be done by just taking his water bowl away from him. It is always best to consult with your vet if there are some medical conditions that water shouldn\u2019t be restricted. If your dog happens to be drinking too much of it, then it is time to get checked with your Vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_Activities\"><\/span><strong>Avoid Activities<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it is time for your dog to sleep avoid indulging him in too much activity to tire him out. That is the wrong thing to do because if your dog tires out from all the playing, he will ask for water and pant excessively. By allowing him to drink before bedtime, you are opening a window for him to wake up middle of the night for a bathroom break which for obvious reasons affects his sleeping pattern.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Dash_of_Melatonin\"><\/span><strong>A Dash of Melatonin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it works wonders for dogs, and they seem to not adversely react to it. After consulting your Vet, check the dosage of Melatonin your dog needs according to his size, and give him little if he has trouble sleeping. Melatonin helps to sleep better when it comes to dogs, apart from any severe health issues a few milligrams of Melatonin shall help your dog sleep well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sleepless_Dog_Owner_Problems\"><\/span><strong>Sleepless Dog Owner Problems<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the insomnia is your problem and not your dog&#8217;s, then you should consider going to a doctor instead of dragging your canine out in the middle of the night for a walk, just because you cannot get to sleep. We all get it he is your best friend, but he needs his sleep to be the friend that you want him to be.\u00a0 So get your insomnia corrected and match your and your dog&#8217;s sleeping hours accordingly so you both can sleep soundly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These few tricks belong to the basic trade, and apparently, the pets too adapt to it. They are selfless beings and probably will not be able to express in words how much pain they are in. Be attentive and keep a check on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogs are man\u2019s best friend, well rightly so, but if they don\u2019t get their beauty sleep (well technically) they too &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Tips to Help Your Dog Sleep Better\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/tips-help-dog-sleep-better\/#more-2680\" aria-label=\"Read more about Tips to Help Your Dog Sleep Better\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tips to Help Your Dog Sleep Better - DogBedZone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dogs need sleep just as humans do.
