How to choose the right dog bed

Dogs love to sleep

Dogs love to sleep. What a life. While I'm heading out to work, my pooch has put himself back to bed after his morning walk. On average our canine friends spend around 12 hours sleeping. Not in one go, they like to spread this out over the course of a day with plenty of napping, snoozing and general lazing about. So it's vitally important that choose the right dog bed for your pet. Having a well designed, comfortable and warm place to sleep is essential to maintain the physical and emotional well being of your dog.

The first factor to consider when choosing a dog bed is size. Make sure your dog has enough room to sleep and don't under estimate just how much puppies can grow. You might be able to scoop them up with one hand when they're little, but that phase won't last long!

Your dog might have several different favoured sleeping spots. If that's the case, you're going to need a dog bed that's easy to move around. Choose practicality over style every time. If you pick something that's too heavy and clunky, you're going to have a hard time accommodating your pet.

So you've found a dog bed that's the right size and one that you can move around if needs be. So how durable is it? Cheap beds are flimsy and wear out quickly. They may not provide your dog with adequate support. Before you plump for that glorified pink pillow because it looks pretty. Stop for a moment. In no time at all it's going to end up in state and more than likely it won't cater for your dog's basic needs. Quality beds having ratings based on the weight of the animal they are designed for. Popping fido on the scales before you go out to choose a bed will make all the difference in buying the right one.
