Your pet dog spends much of his day sleeping or relaxing. Generally, dogs sleep as much as thirteen hours a day. So, as you probably figured out by now, it is essential that you give your dog a comfy bed. Going to a pet store offline or on the internet will introduce you to many dog bed brands and designs. Below are a few general points to think about when purchasing a bed for your pet.

Kinds

Dog beds are available in a lot of designs. For dogs who like to roll around or lie on their backs, a sizable pillow-type bed is best. Active and old dogs might benefit from an orthopedic bed to support them perfectly. Small dogs that have a tendency to curl up into a ball when sleeping may find a nesting bed more convenient. These pillowy nests will give your dog not only comfort but feelings of safety and security. A number of dog beds have bolsters, which can provide your dog something fluffy to snuggle up against. Bolsters can be placed on a single side or surround the whole bed. Additionally, there are some beds that can cater to multiple dogs. You will also find beds that are designed to seem like furniture we use and those with extra tough material making them suitable for dogs that like chewing on things.

Budget

The best bed for your pet dog is one that suits his needs, but also is reasonably priced. These items cover a wide price range, from twenty bucks to upwards of one-hundred dollars. Do not forget that cost is not necessarily a good indication of quality. An expensive lounger pet dog bed would be useless if your pet doesn’t want to sleep on it.

Measurements

You need to get a bed where your pet can fit comfortably in. To find the ideal bed for your dog, measure him from tail to nose by using a tape measure. This is particularly vital for dogs that want to stretch out when sleeping. One thing you should never forget is that huge, heavy dog breeds will require thicker, denser cushions. The weight of your pet will flatten cushions which are thin, and this can be uncomfortable. It is also vital that you take into account the amount of space the dog bed will occupy once it is in your house. Know where your dog prefer to sleep in and find a bed that will fit your pet dog and that space.

Maintenance

Pet beds will get soiled, more so if they are used by extremely active dogs. Seek out beds which are covered with machine-washable materials, but make sure the rest of the bed could also be washed easily. See samples of chew resistant dog beds by going here.
