by Glixie Media | Mar 7, 2025 | Animal Behaviour, Cats, Dogs, Fun Facts!

Pets struggling to sleep? Some tips that might help:

Comfortable Bed: Provide a cozy, quiet space with a supportive bed suited to your pet’s size and needs.

Exercise Routine: Ensure they get enough physical and mental stimulation during the day to tire them out.

Consistent Schedule: Stick to a regular feeding, exercise, and bedtime routine to promote relaxation.

Reduce Noise: Minimise household noise during sleep hours, or use white noise machines to calm them.

Temperature Control: Keep their sleeping area at a comfortable temperature, not too hot or cold.

Limit Late Stimulation: Avoid playtime, heavy meals, or stimulating activities right before bed.

Relaxing Scents: Use calming scents like lavender (pet-safe formulations) to help them unwind.

Health Check: If your pet struggles with sleep often, consult your vet to rule out pain or health issues.
