A good dog bed should be a safe haven where your dog can sleep comfortably while dreaming of chasing the neighborhood squirrels. Dogs are burrowing animals by nature. This basically means that they need their own refuge where they can feel safe and sound. They need a place where they can go when they need to rest or when they feel stressed. For many dogs, this sanctuary is usually their bed. If you don’t provide your dog with a den of his own, he will usually find a way to create his own den, usually at the expense of his favorite sofa or chair! In addition to being burrowing animals, dogs sleep between 12 and 16 hours per day on average. Not only do they deserve a bed that is comfortable, but they will sleep much better when they feel comfortable and safe.
Today there are many different styles of dog beds to choose from. But how do you choose? One important thing to consider is the individual personality of your dog. Some dogs like to snuggle up in their beds, while others tend to be stretched out and some do a combination of both. Another thing to consider is your own individual style. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding a good bed that goes well with your decor and furnishings. You will see that most beds come in a variety of colors, designs, and styles. Below is a list of 5 of the most popular dog beds and their advantages.
1. Reinforce dog beds: Reinforced bed types include the donut bed, the dog couch, or any bed that has a raised padded outer section. This is probably one of the most popular beds because the high back of the bed creates a very safe and cozy shelter for the dog. They can really snuggle and snuggle on this bed. Covers are typically removable for easy laundering and come in a wide variety of colors, designs, and styles. You will often find many designer dog beds in this style.
2. Memory foam beds for dogs: These orthopedic dog beds are great for dogs with arthritis or other joint problems. But they are also great for any dog and can help maintain health by providing a comfortable, supportive surface to rest on. The main benefit of this bed is that the memory foam conforms to the dog’s body and therefore helps to relieve pain and at the same time increases circulation. This increased circulation can help reduce the time it takes for injuries to heal. In fact, many vets recommend memory foam beds for dogs that have recently undergone surgery.
3. Raised Style Dog BedsAlso known as crib style, these are good outdoor dog beds that are great for dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors. This stylish bed will keep your dog cool in the summer and off the cold ground in the winter. You can also purchase a separate mat to place on top of these beds to add a cushion and a more comfortable and secure feel.
Four. Nest dog beds: These smaller, rounder pillow-type beds are ideal for smaller dogs that like to burrow and nest. Like the bolstered bed, the dogs will feel really comfortable and safe inside the plush walls. Dogs love the feeling of being surrounded by the padded walls of the trundle bed. These unique dog beds are ideal for deep cuddles!
5. Pillow-style dog beds: These beds come in all shapes and sizes … round, rectangular, square. I’ve even seen one shaped like a dog’s paw! These beds are fairly basic, but will provide the comfort your dog needs. These beds are ideal for the dog who really likes to stretch out when he sleeps because there are no padded walls to confine him. One of the best things about these beds is that there are literally hundreds to choose from and most come with removable covers for easy washing. You will also find a great selection of these beds with fabrics made for outdoor use.
Since the above beds come in a variety of sizes (with the exception of the trundle bed), they are excellent beds for large and small dogs. Whichever bed you choose, know that you are providing a much-needed shelter for your dog. It is not just a place where they can sleep, but it also acts as their den where they know they are safe and secure.
