Sleep is sacred—especially for Labradoodles. Did you know that an adult Doodle sleeps about 16 hours a day? And a puppy even up to 20 hours? Yet, many dogs don't sleep deeply enough. A good sleeping spot is incredibly beneficial for their behavior and health.
💤 Why Rest Is Essential
- Helps with processing stimuli
- Supports physical growth and muscle recovery
- Prevents hyperactivity and overstimulation
- Provides safety and structure
🛏️ What makes a good place to sleep?
✔️ Comfortable surface
A good bed like the Scruffs orthopedic dog bed relieves the joints and retains heat.
✔️ Quiet location
Place the bed in a location free from drafts, noise, or crowds. No aisle, no kitchen.
✔️ Soft textiles
For extra comfort, use a HuggleHounds fleece blanket or a Vetbed Premium . These are antibacterial and perfect for Doodles with sensitive skin.
✔️ Soothing scent
Use an Adaptil diffuser or collar with calming pheromones — great for puppies or nervous doodles.
✔️ Variety of sleeping places
A Dog's Companion beanbag can be perfect as a lounge area, while the orthopedic bed is used for deep sleep.
💡 Sleeping tips for doodle owners
- Never let your doodle sleep on a slippery floor : this puts strain on its joints.
- After brain work or walking, allow time for rest , without stimuli.
- Have a set evening ritual — this creates predictability.
- Use a bone as a sleep trigger , such as a rawhide stick or lamb's ear.
