In the United States and around the world, people own pets. There are many different kinds of pets people can own, as well. Many people own either dogs or cats; however, throughout the United States there are more than 75 million pet dogs. Having a pet dog can be very rewarding. In actuality, he or she becomes more than a pet. He or she becomes part of the family. Many people travel with pets, take their pets on walks, cuddle with their pets, and show unwavering love to them. To be specific, 45% percent of pet dogs in the United States sleep with their own in bed. Your pet quickly becomes your family member. Therefore, you want what is best for your pet dog. If you have a pet dog, here is what you need to know about different types of dog beds.
Dog Beds
For pet owners that do not allow their dogs to sleep in their beds at night, dog beds become a very important product for both the owner and the pet. You want to get a peaceful night’s sleep and so does your dog. In fact, dogs spend around half of the day, and sometimes a little more, sleeping. This can add up to twelve to fourteen hours of sleep. If your dog is doing all that sleeping shouldn’t he or she be comfortable? Here are some dog beds to consider:
Chew Proof Orthopedic Dog Beds: This type of dog bed has two benefits to it. These benefits can be found right in the name! Chew proof and orthopedic! Firstly, some dogs develop the unhealthy behavior of chewing their beds. Sometimes this is due to anxiety or nervousness, and sometimes the dogs are simply bored. However, this unhealthy habit can lead to more money out of your pocket, because you’ll have to purchase new beds constantly. In addition, this unhealthy habit can lead to a really exhausted tired friend.
With this chew proof type dog bed, your dog will not be able to successfully bite through the material of the bed. This is because chew proof dog beds are durable. This bed will last a long time. Additionally, this bed can also help your dog quit the unhealthy habit of chewing the bed. It is important to note that many of these beds are available for not only smaller dogs, but large dogs as well.
This type of dog bed is unique and beneficial because it is also orthopedic. It is known that 1 out of every 5 dogs over the age of around seven have inflammation of one or two joints. Yes, dogs can get arthritis similar to humans! Their arthritis can cause their joints to become stiff and painful. Needless to say, it would be difficult for your dog to sleep with arthritis. However, an orthopedic bed will offer your dog comfort, support for stiff and achy joints, and equal weight distribution so there is not much pressure on your dog’s joints. With a chew proof orthopedic dog bed, your dog will sleep soundly.
Tough Dog Crate Beds: For dogs that chew on what seems like everything imaginable, tough dog crate beds are for these furry friends. To begin, if your dog remains in a crate throughout the day while you are away, it is essential that they are comfortable. Tough dog crate beds are, in fact comfortable. Therefore, as your furry friend rests and naps, you will not have to worry about them being comfortable or upset while you are gone.
Tough dog crate beds are also what some like to call, indestructible. If your dog chews items because of anxiety and nerves (especially if these feelings arise when they are left alone), then you will want tough dog crate beds for your dog. Your dog will not be able to chew the fabric of these crate beds, and much like chew proof orthopedic dog beds, these dog beds can possibly help your dog outgrow the unhealthy habit of chewing items. If you want your dog to sleep well, consider tough dog crate beds!
