Your dog is probably the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself, which is why you also want the best for him. Feeding and grooming your dog are top priorities, but sometimes you just need to go a little extra to spoil him. Buying dog beds,toys and other accessories are a good way to thank you dog for all the love you’re constantly receiving.
There’s nothing more relaxing and rejuvenating than a good night’s sleep. If you are a proud owner of a small breed dog, you have probably noticed that your fuzzy buddy sleeps between 12-18 hours a day. Investing in a miniature dog bed (or two) can provide maximum comfort for your furry companion. Dog beds can also be taken with you when you travel so that your dog feels comfortable and can sleep somewhere familiar.
Do dogs really need a bed?
Dogs are very territorial by nature and gravitate towards the same areas of your home to relax, nap and sleep. If your tiny fuzzy buddy doesn’t have a bed of his own, he’ll probably end up sleeping on the floor or curled up in your bed. As much as you love snuggling, your dog might scratch your nice furniture. And since everything in the house belongs to the people living in it, your dog might feel like a second-class citizen. Dogs need beds just like we do, a place on their own that has a lot of benefits.
Benefits of a Dog Bed
- Mini dog beds are comfortable. Not only that they can give dogs a special spot in the home, but a perfectly sized miniature dog bed can also enhance dogs comfort. A mini dog bed can give your buddy more room to stretch, feeling warm and comfortable With today’s premium models available, coming with things like support systems and advanced foams, it’s easy to provide your dog with the needed comfort and make his life better.
- Beds are beneficial for your dog’s health. Dods, like people, need good quality sleep to stay healthy. According to some scientific research, good night rest can improve your dog’s memory and make your pooch smarter. Sleeping on the floor during hot summers and cold winters can lead to all kinds of illnesses. This is especially true for dogs of a breed that’s prone to temperature changes. Getting a high-quality bed for your fuzzy buddy can help protect his health and prevent unwanted conditions such as dysplasia, arthritis and other structural ailments.
- Dog beds can help preserve your furniture. If your tiny fellow loves to circle and do some kneading or burrowing before going to sleep, that’s very unfortunate to your designer sofa or your favourite rug. Introducing your dog to his new bed might make the sofa less appealing to him.
- Miniature beds for dogs are easy to clean. Most of the dog beds come with a removable cover that you can easily toss in the wash weekly. This way, you can keep dog hair, dander, and germs to a minimum. Your dog also loves the feeling of freshly washed bedding, same as you.
