| HOW TO CHOOSE RIGHT DOG BED
Paws in the face, heavy breathing in your face and did I forget to mention snoring? Sounds like fun right? Well, when you get to the point that you are tired of sharing your bed with your four-legged best friend you will want to know that you are choosing just the perfect dog bed and not all dog beds are perfect for each dog!
When choosing a dog bed you will always want to go a little bigger because a small bed would not allow your precious pooch to get a good night’s sleep. Measuring your pet in his typically sleeping position and adding six to nine inches onto that measurement will give you the proper measurement for your new dog bed. You will want him to have plenty of room.
Bolster dog beds provide safety and security not to mention a great cuddle space! A bolster bed surrounds him giving him the sense of feeling protected and safe. If your dog likes to have his head propped up on your couch arms than a bolster dog bed would be a great choice!
Pillow dog beds are the perfect selection if your dog is a “lounger”. If he likes to sleep all sprawled out on his dog bed or the floor or your bed for that matter…then go for a traditional rectangle or round pillow bed that is large enough to accommodate all this limbs when stretched out.
Nest dog beds are ideal for small dogs or puppies who like to sleep together. Nest dog beds give security that small dogs tend to crave and desire. Puppies love to sleep all snuggly and curled up with each other and this bed helps foster that comfort.
Mats and crate pad dog beds provide a simple yet supportive bed for your pet that can travel anywhere. Dog mats and crate pad dog beds are typically machine washable and coordinate to the standard sizes of dog crates on the market today. If you like to have a traveling dog bed this style dog bed is the perfect choice because it can be easily rolled up and ready to go!
Orthopedic dog beds are not just for aging pets anymore. Orthopedic dog beds provide extra support for dogs with joint problems but they also help you ease pressure and strain on the joints of your younger dogs that may be prone to health problems later in life. Orthopedic dog beds usually contain medical-grade foam or memory foam for the ultimate in orthopedic support.
Those are the basics on choosing the style of pet beds and we haven’t even discussed the covers. Dog bed covers are a matter of choice and matching home décor! Have fun with it as the days of hiding your dog bed in the corner are over. Luxury fabrics are not just for humans anymore.
