Getting a sufficient amount of sleep is an extremely important issue, although many of us do not get enough sleep because of the bed that we sleep in. The reason for this is that our bed does not allow us to settle into a comfortable position. This is especially significant in the context of a place for your dog to sleep, because given the highly active nature of our canine friends, this means that they are at a higher risk of developing arthritis of the joints.
If your dog currently suffers from arthritis then it maybe a good idea to get your best friend an orthopedic dog bed. These are highly specialized dog beds and often make use of memory foam.
The reason that they are so special is due to the fact that they have been specifically designed to ensure that the full weight of your dog is supported no matter what position they sleep in and avoid creating irritation of joints.
However, even if your dog does not happen to suffer from arthritis (and let us be grateful for small favors), this does not mean that you can, or indeed should, take a passive role when it comes to searching for suitable dog beds.
His bed will be the first thing a dog will make a beeline toward whenever they are tired and wish to recover their flagging energy levels. With that in mind as a dog owner you are advised to ensure that you choose a bed that will be comfortable for your pet.
Specifically, dogs are infamous the world over for their fascination with dirt and mud. This becomes problematic because it means that as the dog climbs onto their bed it will become dirty and soiled with the passage of time. In addition, potentially harmful and dangerous bacteria will slowly but surely develop and accumulate within the dog bed, thereby posing a potential health threat to both the dog and other members of your family.
Keeping that in mind, it is imperative that you purchase a bacteria resistant foam dog bed, and more importantly, a dog bed with a covering that can be easily washed, sterilized and disinfected as the case may be.
Let's face it: all dogs have a tendency to play rough with their toys and to the average dog their bed may be nothing more than a big toy. Keeping that in mind, you the dog owner may wish to opt for a chew resistant dog bed that is more resilient than average. This is especially important if you know that your pet is very energetic. In short, if you have a young puppy, which is not getting enough exercise, then a durable relatively indestructible dog bed is the best choice for them because these types of dog beds will be better able to withstand the excessive abuse they may receive.
No matter what type of bed you choose for your dog, keep the dog's size in mind and buy a bed that will comfortably accommodate your pet. The size of the bed is one of the most important factors in choosing a proper dog bed.
