Buying A Dog BedAdded on:7/30/2008 8:26:47 AM

When buying a dog bed, here are some things you need to think about:
* First, think about the size and needs of your dog. The dog should be able to lie flat on the dog bed, stretched out on its side, without hanging off the bed.
* How healthy is your dog? If your dog is arthritic, it may need a heated dog bed. If the dog has incontinence problems, you're going to need a dog bed that can be easily cleaned, or maybe two dog beds to swap in and out.
* What would make your dog most comfortable? Dog beds come in many sizes and styles. There are pillows, mats, rugs and cuddlers. Pillows are big cushions. Mats are thinner than pillows, and rugs are even thinner. A cuddler is like a pillow with sides, so your dog can curl up and have some walls around him. A puppy or small dog is going to have much different needs than a big dog or a very active one.
* What is the bed filled with? Most are filled with foam, but some are filled with cedar, which repels fleas and smells fresh. If you purchase a cedar bed, make sure it is refillable.
* The covering must be removable and washable. It will get dirty, or worse.
