Dog Beds
Dog beds are a comfortable resting place for your canine family member. Dog bed styles include cushions, loungers or mats. The type of bed you choose depends on your dog’s size and sleeping style, as well as your individual preference.
Cushion beds
Dog cushions are generally one of three shapes: oval, round, or rectangular. Many styles offer different colors and sizes to suit your needs. Cushion covers are removable for cleaning. A well-made dog cushion will retain its cushiony softness without becoming bunched or uneven. Consider a cushion with mildew-resistant filling and a cover that resists stains and fading, which is perfect with beds that will be used outside.
Lounger beds
Dog loungers are the cozy choice for curled-up sleepers. These beds have higher sides, hugging your dog in secure comfort. You’ll find dog loungers in square, round, or oval shapes and in different sizes. Covers come in a range of color choices and are removable for easy cleaning.
Mat beds
Mats are very versatile dog beds and a good choice for outstretched sleepers. Mats are perfect with cushioning dog houses or crate and kennel interiors, yet they roll together quickly and easily for transport. Many dog mats include bumper sides for added comfort and non-skid backings for stability. Most dog mats are completely machine washable. For elderly dogs, you might consider a mat made with memory foam for extra cushioning or a temperature regulating mat, beneficial for easing arthritis pain.
Extra comfort in bedding
An electric bed warmer is a great addition to a dog bed during cold weather. A microwaveable bed heating pad gives similar results. The added warmth and comfort is especially beneficial for elderly dogs, but also a smart choice for any dog during extremely cold nights.
Restful sleep is necessary for your dog’s health and vitality. The right dog bed will help keep your furry friend in tip-top shape. |
