It’s important that dogs get the rest they need. They are energetic animals and enjoy playing, exploring, and sniffing. We can give our dogs the downtime that they require by providing a quiet, comfortable place to sleep without being disturbed.
What to look for when choosing a dogbed
You should choose the correct size of bed for your pet. You’ll see that they sleep in many different positions. They can be curled up or stretched out. Some even lie on their stomach with their legs spread apart like Superman.
Which size bed do I need?
It should be big enough to allow them to lay comfortably in these positions. Your dog may be able to stretch their legs out in some beds, even if the bed is large enough to allow them to curl up.
Which type of pet bed is best?
There are many sizes and shapes of dog beds. Dogs will all have different preferences. It’s best to provide them with a few options so they can choose what suits them.
- When your dog wants to curl, round or oval beds that have a side will be perfect.
- The mattress bed can help you lie flat
- These beds can keep your dog warm, and protect them from draughts. In summer, your dog might prefer a cooler bed.
How do I clean my dog’s bed?
A more durable material will be best if you plan to bring your dog on adventures or camping trips. Beds that are waterproof or resistant to water can help prevent them from becoming damp. The dog bed should be well-padded, and the material used to make it comfortable. The beds should be easy to clean.
Special dog beds: Luxury pet beds
Certain dogs have special needs for beds.
- An orthopaedic bed or memory foam mattress that is easy to get into and out of would be ideal for older dogs, or those with joint pains.
- You may want to consider an igloo-style bed for your shy dog. This will allow them to hide in comfort when things become too stressful.
- Do you have more than one pet? You’ll want to make sure that each dog has a bed. Consider getting a larger dog bed for your pets to snuggle up in together.
What is the ideal place for a pet’s bed to be placed?
Give your dog a choice of where to place the bed. Place one bed in an area where your dog can sleep without being disturbed, while the other can be placed in the room that you spend time in. This way they are in the company of their owner and can relax or nap in comfort.
