Your pet dog spends much of his day sleeping or just lounging around. On average, dogs sleep as much as thirteen hours a day. So, as you probably realized by now, it is important that you furnish your dog a cozy bed. Shopping in a pet store offline or online will introduce you to many dog bed brands and styles. Here are some general points to think about when getting a bed for your pet dog.

Types

Dog beds are sold in different styles. For dogs who want to roll around or sleep on their backs, a sizable pillow-type bed is ideal. Active and old dogs may require an orthopedic bed to support them adequately. Small dogs that tend to curl up into a ball when asleep may find a nesting bed more convenient. These pillowy nests will give your dog not merely comfort but feelings of safety and security. Many dog beds come with bolsters, which can provide your dog something fluffy to snuggle with. Bolsters can be put on only one side or surround the entirety of the bed. Additionally, there are some beds that can accommodate multiple dogs. You will also find beds that are made to look like furniture we use and those with extra strong material making them suitable for dogs that like chewing on things.

Budget 

The right bed for your pet dog is one that suits his needs, but also is reasonably priced. These items are sold in several price points, from twenty dollars to more than a hundred bucks. Keep in mind that cost is not necessarily a good indicator of quality. A costly lounger pet bed is going to be worthless if your pet still chooses to sleep elsewhere.

Measurements 

You must get a bed where your pet can fit perfectly in. To find the ideal bed for your dog, take his measurement from tail to nose by using a tape measure. This is particularly vital for dogs that love to stretch out when resting. One thing you should keep in mind is that large, heavy dogs will need thicker, denser cushions. The weight of your pet will flatten cushions that are thin, which can be irritating for your pet. It is also important to think about the amount of space the dog bed will occupy once it is in your home. Find out where your dog likes to sleep in and find a bed that will fit your pet dog and that space.

Maintenance

Pet beds will get mucky, more so if they are used by extremely active dogs. Look for beds which are covered with machine-washable materials, but ensure the remainder of the bed can also be washed easily.
