Five Things to Look For in a Pet Bed

So, you're thinking about purchasing a bed for your beloved pet? It's a step that your pet will thank you for, but there are some things you have to consider in order to make the right decision and the best purchase possible for your pet.

1.  Size

How big is your pet? Is he just a pup or kitten, or is he already full-grown? These are all very important factors in deciding on the perfect bed. While a larger bed may seem comical in proportion to your baby Labrador, it won't be as funny when you find yourself paying more to replace it in a few months as he grows up! Planning ahead for your pet can save you hundreds in the long run.

2.  Shape

Does your dog stretch out on his back to sleep, or does he curl up tight in a ball? Believe it or not, this makes a big difference in the type of bed you should consider since there are different shapes available to best fit his sleeping posture. A laid-back sleeping dog would fit best on a mattress cushion, for instance, while a curled-up pooch would do best in a round bed.

3.  Durability

Does your dog have a rambunctious personality? Does he play hard, get dirty, and chew everything with the enthusiasm of a juicy bone? If that sounds like yours, you might want to consider a bed with a lot of strength, machine washable with durable waterproof fabrics.

4.  Comfort

As your dog gets older, he may not move around as well as he used to. In that case, you may want to consider an orthopedic bed to better accommodate him. Beds like the Bowsers ORBIT or Metropolitan Memory Foam beds are built with supreme foam and fiber cushioning to soothe and support older dogs' weary arthritic joints.

5.  Style

Last but not least, style is a major factor in considering a dog bed - after all, your pet is a member of the family, so why not give her the best? If your price range is generous, go all out with a luxurious designer dog bed -PawDigs has everything from plush rounds like the Double Donut to premium high-end furniture like the Moderno. If your range is more modest, don't worry! There are still plenty of fun and classy options to choose from, like soft eco-friendly mats and cozy fiber-filled beanbag-style balls.
