Time Spent

Your Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen (PBGV) needs its own comfortable bed every night if you want it to have a good night's rest.

A dog bed or cage not only provides a secure haven for your pet, but it also offers them a sense of independence and personal space, which is great for your furnishings.

Think about how much room your PBGV will need to stretch out and move about when choosing a kennel or bed. In order to maintain healthy joints in an older dog or one with a history of joint issues, it is crucial to choose a bed that provides enough cushioning and support.

Crate training may also be helpful for PBGVs since it provides a safe and cozy environment similar to a den where the dog may relax and sleep. A large enough box, complete with a comfortable bed or blanket, may serve as their own sanctuary. With the use of crate training, they may be better housetrained and kept secure when left alone.

Sleep durations for PBGVs may range from 12 to 14 hours daily, however this might fluctuate. Sleep deprivation may be more common in older dogs and pups than in younger, more active dogs.

Find a spot that lets in plenty of natural light, has little ambient noise, and is unobstructed. By creating a calm and serene environment, you may assist your PBGV in unwinding and obtaining the necessary sleep
