Should Pomeranians Sleep In A Crate

Dogs are often happy sleeping in their crates. They feel cozy and secure when they sleep in their own space.

When your dog sleeps in its crate it also reduces the number of accidents that may happen and prevents your dog from getting into anything while you sleep.

Some of the negatives to having your dog sleep in its crate is the rattling noise a crate can make when your dog moves around and if your dog is not crate trained being in a crate might make it feel anxious and uncomfortable.

Many Pomeranians like to curl up on a blanket when they sleep.

My dogs will often dig at the blanket making a perfect little nest to lay down and sleep in.

Do Dogs Need A Night Light

Dogs do not need a night light in order to sleep. It is actually better to not have a light on at night so your dog can understand that it is a time for sleep when it is dark and a time for play when it is light.
