Like humans, your dog will enjoy a quality dog bed for all of the same reasons we do. Quality beds provide warmth, support, as well as a sense of security for your dog. Providing your pal with a bed of their own does far more for them than what is listed above.
When a pet owner asks what items they will need for their pet, a quality dog bed should be near the top of their list! Aside from the usual collar, leash, food and water dishes. Providing your dog with a bed should not be an option as their benefits far outweigh their cost.
A few benefits of providing a quality bed for your dog:
• Insulation: Quality beds provide your dog with insulation from both the heat of the summer or the bitter cold of winter and fall. Beds such as the Snuggle Ball Bed, provide warmth and comfort for your dog, especially in the winter months.
• Personal Space: Providing your dog with a bed allows them to have their own space. A place, where they can curl up, and relax, adding an additional sense of security for your pooch.
• Cushion/Support: Especially for older dogs, as well as dogs with other joint or bone problems. Beds such as the Orthocare Bed and Ortho Mat Bed are specifically designed to aid in relieving of pets with sore joints, bones, or other problems due to age, weight, or other joint related problems.
• Shed & Dander Control: Providing your dog with a bed can also aid, by providing you with a "main" area in which a majority of their shedding and/or dander issues can be contained. Reversible Bolster Beds, provide you pet with an additional laying surface, should you not have time do your doggie's wash. Durabeds are also available, which are incredibly easy to clean; just wipe down with a wet paper towel!
• Injury Prevention: Using a dog bed in your home can help reduce the chances of "furniture hazards", such as jumping off the couch; often your pooches favorite place to lay, especially when you are away.
• Protection from the Elements: Providing a pooch who lives outdoors most of the time with a bed is critical. The Outdoor Bed is tough and water repellent and can be used inside or out. Easy to clean, this bed is also specifically treated to eliminate mold, fungus, or other outdoor hazards which may affect your dog.
Spend some time determining which bed is best suited for your dog, remembering that this will become a favorite resting place for your pooch! Unfortunately, low quality beds are easily torn and often first to "break-down", never truly offering your dog the benefits of a higher quality bed. Shop around, as there are many good choices out there. Most importantly, think of the bed as an investment, because many High Quality beds will last the lifetime of your dog, and by purchasing one of these, so will their benefits!
