Is it normal for my pet to be slower and sleep more in winter?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While not necessarily normal, this can certainly be seen during the winter months. If she is otherwise fine, I would not be too concerned about this. However, if she develops any other symptoms like decreased appetite or vomiting, have her evaluated then. Good luck!

Vet Q & A
Senior dog sleeping more, struggling to get up. Is it aging or pain?
Hi there! Your dog may be getting sore and arthritic, which would make it harder for her to get up when she's laying down. There are many possible treatments for arthritis in dogs, including pain medication, physical therapy, acupuncture, Adequan injections, laser treatments, specially-formulated foods, and a variety of supplements. It would be a great idea to have your dog examined by a veterinarian to determine if treatment is needed at this time and, if so, which treatment would be more appropriate. Please remember there are no safe over the counter pain medications for dogs, so you will need to have these prescribed by a veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best of luck to you and your dog!

Why is my dog suddenly lethargic and sleeping more than usual?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Lack of energy can be the sign of many things that go from just being tired to actually representing a problem like due to pain for example. If he is otherwise fine, I recommend you keep a close eye on him for now. If there is no improvement within the next 2-3 days, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

My senior dog sleeps a lot and won't go outside. Is this normal?
I'm glad to hear Jill is doing so well. Dog's preferences can change with the weather or just due to their own reasons. As long as she doesn't;t seem anxious or fearful outside, I think it's probably fine. Many dogs, especially older ones, do sleep a lot! Make sure she is going outside to potty at least 4-5 times a day and watch her for any signs of illness. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Why is my dog sleeping so much after a recent dental procedure?
You are so welcome! I'm glad I was able to help you and that you are happy with the website. It puts a smile on all of our faces when we have a satisfied customer :-) Pets do like to sleep a lot, sometimes I wish I got as much sleep as my dogs and cats! I'm glad Merri is breathing better.
