A dog bed isn’t a luxury. On the contrary, it’s absolutely essential for a dog’s security, comfort, and living. Choose a good one, and it will become your dog’s safe place and an investment that lasts for years to come! Here’s how to choose the right dog bed for your dog.
Quality
Always opt for a higher quality bed instead of an inexpensive but low-quality one. The goal is for the bed to last. Plus, more high-quality foams can help provide support for joints and bones.
Size
A dog’s bed must be large enough for them to stretch out completely without extending past the sides. This prevents aching pains and posture issues.
Fabric
Try to opt for fabrics that are easy to clean. Beds with reversible or removable inner pillows that are fully machine-washable are particularly useful!
Outdoor-Safe
If your dog sleeps in a doghouse or will be using the bed outdoors, make sure the material of the bed you choose is resistant to outdoor hazards like fungus or mold.
Sleeping Habits
How does your dog like to sleep? Do they curl up and burrow? Do they prefer to rest their head on something sturdy? Buy beds that cater to those preferences.
Location
Once you buy the bed, place it in a room you’ll be in a lot of the time, but not one that has too much activity.
