Your pet dog spends much of his day sleeping or just lounging around. On average, dogs sleep as much as thirteen hours per day. So, as you probably realized by now, it is important that you furnish your pooch a comfortable bed. Visiting a pet store offline or on the internet will introduce you to a number of dog bed brands and designs. Below are a few general things to consider when getting a bed for your pet.

Types

Dog beds are available in many styles. For dogs who want to roll around or lie on their backs, a sizable pillow-type bed is best. Active and old dogs may require an orthopedic bed to support them perfectly. Smaller dogs that often curl up into a ball when asleep may find a nesting bed more comfortable. These pillowy nests will give your dog not merely comfort but feelings of safety and security. A number of dog beds feature bolsters, which can provide your pet something fluffy to snuggle into. Bolsters can be placed on a single side or surround the entire bed. Additionally, there are some beds that can accommodate multiple dogs. You can also get beds that are built to look like furniture we use and those with extra durable material making them ideal for dogs that like chewing on things.

Budget 

The right bed for your pet dog is one that matches his needs, but also is sensibly priced. These products cover a wide price range, from twenty dollars to more than a hundred bucks. Keep in mind that cost is not always an excellent indicator of quality. A pricey lounger pet dog bed will be worthless if your pet still chooses to sleep elsewhere.

Measurements 

You should choose a bed where your dog can fit nicely in. To find the ideal bed for your pet, take his measurement from tail to nose using a tape measure. This is specifically important for dogs that love to stretch out when resting. One thing you should remember is that large, heavy dog breeds should have thicker, denser cushions. The weight of your dog will flatten cushions that are thin, and this can be uncomfortable. It is also important to look at the amount of space the dog bed will occupy once it is in your home. Ascertain where your pet loves to sleep in and find a bed that will fit your dog and that space.

Maintenance

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