A Little About Dog Beds

Types of Dog Beds

Pillow Bed
The pillow bed is a classic style, which is primarily used indoors. They are usually stuffed with white cotton stuffing, beans, or pine chips. These are available in all shapes - round, oval, square, and so on. You can even find decorative covers for these dog beds.

Nest Style Bed
These dog beds are generally available woven in natural fibers with a pad, foam, or pillow on the bottom. Pets typically love this style of bed, as they offer them not only comfort, but also safety from all the surrounding sides.

Unconventional Style
Raised similar to a hammock and are usually a free standing platform, mostly available in a square shape. Typically made from a durable canvas material and is raised somewhere between 4 to 6 inches from the ground. The best advantage to these beds are that they are indestructible, which allows your canine to stay cool and can be used as a training device.

Couches
These are for people that have a sophisticated sense of style, as couches look extremely exquisite and add to the overall décor of any room. Made out of foam and are incredibly affordable and are somewhat similar to the nest beds in terms of comfort.

How to Buy a Dog Bed

• Before purchasing your dog bed it is important to consider the size, health, and needs of the dog that will be using it. The size should be large enough to allow the dog lie flat on their side.

• The next thing to consider is the over all comfort level and style of the dog bed.
• A bed with big cushions can serve as pillows, while dog mats are too than to be pillows. Rugs and cuddlers will surely keep your dog comfortable and provide support for a curling dog on three sides.
• The filling inside of a dog bed must be one that can give the most comfort for the canine. Foam is a preferred choice for many, but a cedar filled one are becoming more popular as they also repel fleas. The best part about using cedar is that it can be refilled as well.
• Be sure to get a bed with a removable and washable cover, because dogs are bound to get them dirty. Getting extra bed covers can prove to be a big help as well, especially with dogs that are not yet completely trained.
• You can match the dog bed to the colors of the home. However, if the dog has a separate dog house or uses a crate, colors may not be as important to you.
• Heated dog beds are a great idea for older dog or dog with arthritic problems. Some beds are capable of being cool on hot days and warm on cold days.
