Saving Money While Choosing The Right One
If you've shopped at all for dog beds, you've no doubt noticed there are endless choices of beds available, from basic types of bedding to designer brands. From orthopedic beds for the elderly pooch, to the myriads of durable dog beds made from heavy canvas…to even luxury beds with arm rests so the dog can rest it's head as they would on a couch.
Needless to say, when shopping for a suitable bed for Rover, it's easy to experience mental overload and be tempted to just throw down a soft blanket in the corner somewhere for him to lay on, and forget about the whole thing.
But we know you wouldn't do that…now would you? Of course not!
So this page was created to give you not only a few pointers to think about when shopping for a dog bed, but also to make readily available, a place to get some of the best deals online…thru the auctions at e-bay.
But first things first….lets talk dog beds.
Owners should always take into consideration a few things before buying a bed, they are…
Where are you going to put it?
Will it be kept inside? outside? someplace nice? like in your master bedroom or living room? The reason to decide this in advance is that this will help you to determine what kind, and color of material it should be made of.
If your going to be keeping it outside, then a more durable material should be chosen. If it's going to be kept someplace nice, like in your living room, then being mindful of what color you choose will keep it as "Rovers Bed" rather than "That Ugly Old Thing" that you run to hide when friends visit.
What kind of fabric is it made of?
When choosing a fabric it is best to consider your pup’s need for warmth throughout the year. If you own a long-haired breed, such as a Siberian Husky, they will keep themselves warm year round, so a basic cool cotton or canvas will work fine. For smaller or short-haired breeds that may get cold easily, such as a Chihuahua, they may enjoy snuggling up to fleece or even a suede or warm upholstery material.
Is the outside washable?
This usually this means that the outside layer can be peeled off and placed in the washer. If you have a pup that sheds a great deal or that gets dirty easily, it will be important to consider a fabric that can be removed easily and washed without fading or shrinking.
The age of your pup
If own an older dog, or one that’s prone to certain ailments, like hip, disc or knee problems, then an orthopedic dog bed might be a good choice. These beds may be a bit pricey, but they are made of a high-density foam material, similar to a human orthopedic bed, which will make it easier for your pooch to get in and out of throughout the day. This will also help to support their bones and muscles as they rest.
