We as American are obsessed with our pets; we take them everywhere we go.
To top it all off when we get home the pampering of our pets does not end there.
We allow the dog to sleep in a bed that is as comfortable as some of the high priced beds we sleep in.
There are thing to consider when deciding on purchasing a discount dog bed.
I will walk you through the steps to make that decision as painless as possible.
First things first we need to decide what exactly the needs of your dog is and while we are doing this we also need to keep size in mind.
A dog that is too big for a bed will not sleep on it.
While a small dog will get lost on a huge bed.
Along with the size of a bed, you need to consider your dog's health.
If your dog has issues jumping up on a high surface then a tall bed is not the best choice.
There is also the concern as to the health of your pet.
A dog that is extremely sick will not be able to jump up onto a high off the floor bed.
In addition, dogs with arthritis need to sleep on a bed that is close to the floor.
Even a dog that has no physical limitations may find it hard to get up onto a raised bed to get comfortable.
For example, my bulldog loves to sleep with me but the only way he can is if I place him up on my bed.
With so many choices out there as far as bedding, it is confusing as to which type to get for your pet.
If you want your pet to have a nice padded place to sleep then a cuddler bed would be right for you.
For a slightly less padded choice you can choose from a pillow, which is briefly, is a large cushion.
This provides a place for your dog to sleep comfortably.
When you are at the store deciding on which bed to buy your pampered pooch, you need to ask them what type of filling is used.
Most beds are filled with some kind of foam however; some types of beds use something called cedar chips to help keep fleas off the bed.
It is important however that you find out if the bed is able to be refilled or not.
If it is not then you might want to try to find a different type of bed for your dog.
Another thing to keep in mind Try to find a bed that the cover can be removed and easily washed.
It will be a matter of when not if before your dog comes in and gets onto his bed with dirty paws.
Therefore, it is important to be able to wash it, also read the washing instructions carefully.
