Yes, your MALTESE really does need that much sleep. 😴🐾
From newborn puppies snoozing nearly 20 hours a day to adults who still treasure long naps, rest plays a major role in healthy growth and emotional balance.
Puppies develop rapidly while sleeping. Their brains process new experiences, training lessons, and daily discoveries during those quiet hours. Even adult MALTESE dogs rely on consistent rest to maintain energy and overall wellness.
So if your fluffy companion is curled up again, it’s likely completely normal. Sleep fuels growth. Sleep restores energy. Sleep supports health.
And let’s be honest — watching a MALTESE dream is one of life’s sweetest little joys. 💤✨
