Your pet dog spends much of his day sleeping or relaxing. On average, dogs sleep as much as 13 hours a day. So, as you probably figured out by now, it is crucial that you provide your pooch a comfortable bed. Shopping in a pet store offline or on the internet will introduce you to a number of dog bed brands and types. Here are some general points to think about when getting a bed for your pet.

Kinds

Dog beds are sold in different styles. For dogs who like to roll around or sleep on their backs, a large pillow-type bed is ideal. Active and old dogs may require an orthopedic bed to support them perfectly. Smaller dogs that often curl up into a ball when sleeping may find a nesting bed more comfortable. These pillowy nests will give your dog not just comfort but feelings of safety and security. Many dog beds feature bolsters, which can provide your pet something fluffy to snuggle with. Bolsters may be placed on just one side or surround the entire bed. In addition there are some beds that can hold multiple dogs. You will also find beds that are made to look like furniture we use and those with extra strong material making them ideal for dogs who like to chew. 

Budget 

The ideal bed for your pet is one that meets his needs, but also is reasonably priced. These items cover a wide price range, from twenty bucks to upwards of one-hundred dollars. Keep in mind that cost is not necessarily an excellent indication of quality. An expensive lounger pet bed is going to be worthless if your pet opts to sleep on your bed or bare floor instead.

Measurements 

You should get a bed where your dog can fit nicely in. To find the right bed for your pet dog, measure him from tail to nose by using a tape measure. This is particularly vital for dogs that want to stretch out when resting. One thing you should remember is that big, heavy animals should have thicker, denser cushions. The weight of your dog will flatten cushions that are thin, and this will be uncomfortable. It is also crucial that you think about the amount of space the bed will take up once it is in your room. Find out where your pet prefer to sleep in and get a bed that will suit your pet dog and that space.

Maintenance

Pet beds will definitely become mucky, more so if they are used by extremely active dogs. Look for beds that are covered with machine-washable materials, but make sure the other parts of the bed can also be washed easily.
