Choosing a Dog Bed

1. Size

Just like our human beds, there is no ‘one size fits all’ for dogs, and you will need to make sure your dog can fit comfortably in any bed you choose for him; both now, and in the future.

If buying a bed for a puppy, you will need to consider how big he will grow and buy a bed that he will comfortably fit into even a few months down the line. Some breeds grow faster than others, such as the Irish wolfhound.

2. Shape

Look at your dog when he’s sleeping and consider what shape he’s in. Different beds will suit different types of sleeping dog, so be sure to consider this when making a decision for your pooch.

3. Certain Needs

Some dogs will have certain special needs. A heat pad for your dog’s bed can be good for some dogs on cold nights, especially ones without big fur coats. Older dogs who may suffer with conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other joint or circulation problems will benefit from an orthopaedic or memory foam bed which they can get in and out of easily.

4. Material

Any bed you choose needs to be sufficiently padded and made from comfortable material. If you intend on bringing your dog and his bed on outdoor adventures like camping trips, a more robust material is best. Waterproof or water resistant beds are useful in avoiding damp.

5. Design

Try to coordinate his bed with the interior design of your home to make it ‘fit in.’ There are many fashionable options to choose from in a wide range of colours and styles, all washable and designed for easy maintenance. Your dog’s comfy bed will fit right in with any home décor
