Buying unique dog beds could be a way of claiming back your own furnishings from your pet. Although breaking them of the habit of sleeping on the human furniture may take a while. As might getting them used to sleeping in their own bed! I have a friend who moans about the dog hair on my furniture when she comes to visit. Particularly as my dogs are white and she wears black. I always tell her that this is why they call it “fur.. niture”, but she doesn’t appear to appreciate my sense of humor.
Although it is not a done deal that you will get your sofa or bad back all to yourself again if you buy your pet their own bed. You won’t know unless you actually try. At least you will know that your dog has a comfortable, warm and suitable place to sleep when you decide to start locking him or her out of your bedroom at night.
The size and shape of the dog and the bed have to be taken into consideration when masking your purchase. Measure the dog and the bed but remember that dogs enjoy sleeping curled up and stretched out. The bed has to be able to accommodate both of these sleeping positions.
A very important consideration when choosing www.dogbedspot.co.uk your dog bed is not hoe designer “twee” it is, but what material it is made of. The material should be design for comfort too, dogs get hot and cold differently to humans, and are just as sensitive to skin conditions. Therefore the fabric should be a natural fiber that is simple to clean. Dogs love nothing more than getting dirty, some more than most. And intelligent as they are, most of them have not mastered the art of washing their feet before they climb into bed. Perhaps an animal print fabric might be the most suitable, and it would look super camp.
Before a dog settles down to sleep, they have a tendency to turn around a half-dozen times before they settle. It is for this reason that up until recent times, dog beds or baskets have been circular. If you choose an angular design, they may not be able to exercise this natural instinct and perhaps won’t settle down. This instinct dates back to when dogs were wild or lived outside; they would trample the grass round them to get comfortable before they went to sleep.
More pet owners are purchasing designer or unique dog beds for their pets. Accessories for pets are becoming incredibly trendy. The trend has its uses if you are able to reclaim your bed or sofa, without a large dog seating itself on your lap, or a small dog sleeping on your head.
You just have to take a look at the unique dog clothes that are also available for all breeds now. This is an indication of the kind of trends taking place. Pet owners dress their dogs up in the cutest outfits for special occasions such as Halloween, and fancy dress contests at dog shows.
