Dog Bed FAQS

Do dogs need dog beds?

Yes, a dog bed is a place where your dog can go when they need to rest, relax and get away from loud noises. If a dog has no access to a bed, it is likely that they will start to use furniture such as chairs or sofas as well as nesting using whatever they can find. Your dog’s bed is the one part of the house that is theirs, and they take an enormous amount of comfort knowing they can climb in whenever they want.

What are the best beds for dogs?

There are many different types of dog beds for different kinds of dogs. For healthy, younger dogs, any style of bed will do as long as it is large enough for them to lie down stretched out upon it. For older dogs, and dogs that suffer from arthritis, it is better to go for an orthopaedic bed that offers support for their aching muscles and bones.

What is the most comfortable dog bed?

The most comfortable dog bed is one that provides all around support for your dog and prevents them from getting too hot or too cold. Beds with supportive sides are also very popular nowadays as your dog can lean against them for extra comfort. Of course, comfort is subjective so you may end up trying a couple of different ones before your dog finds one that they love.

What should I look for in a dog bed?

When shopping for a dog bed, you should always choose one that is large enough for the dog and offers a large amount of padding to separate them from the floor in comfort and stay warm. A good dog bed will also have an anti-slip base to stop it from sliding around on the floor. In terms of materials, fleece, velvet and cotton are considered to be extremely resilient.

Do dogs prefer hard or soft beds?

Different dogs like different things. It is fair to say that the majority of dogs do prefer soft beds that allow them to curl up and fall asleep – but there are dogs out there who prefer a more supportive bed. Luckily, you can always try both and see which your dog takes to the most.

Are dog beds washable?

All dog beds are washable, and a large number of these can be machine washed and tumble dried. The benefit of a machine washable bed is that it more easily removes stains, smells and hair from the material than handwashing. Make sure than when you clean a dog bed, it is completely dry throughout before giving it back to your dog.
