What To Look For When Buying The Best Dog Beds For Small Dogs

By Tammie Caldwell


Dogs may not ask for things to keep them comfortable but they sure do enjoy being able to stretch out and relax. If you are looking for ways to keep your pet healthy, happy and relaxed, a padded bed may be one way to do this. Here are some things to consider when searching for the best dog beds for small dogs. By looking for these features you can feel confident your small pup is going to have the comfort he or she is looking for.

It may surprise you to find that beds designed for smaller dogs can be just as pricey as those for larger canines. This is because these breeds often have unique needs that make them more challenging than dealing with larger dogs. Here are factors to look for when it is time for you to shop for a bed for your pup.

One thing that most beds have in common is that the utilize a cushion or pad to keep the pet from resting directly on the floor. Over time, shed hair and dirt can build. This will cause the bed to smell and be unappealing for both dogs and humans. If you want to make sure you can maintain your pooch's resting place, you may want to look for a washable cover.

You may also want to look at what the bed is stuffed with. Some will have softer stuffing inside the pillow or cushion. Others will have cedar chips. These can smell nice and can also help keep some pests such as fleas from bothering your pet. If you are allergic to this material, however, you may want to choose another type of bed for your pet.

For many people, it is important to ensure that the bed fits in well with other furniture. If this is the case for you, look for wooden frames that match other wooden furniture and mattresses that are covered in fabric that also fits in well with your upholstered items.

Measuring where the bed goes is also a good idea. This is because it can help you find a bed that will not be too large and can also help you determine if you need to find a different place to put the bed itself. Remember that it should be large enough that the dog can stretch out and relax. If you do not have enough space in a particular area, you may want to reconsider where the bed will be placed.

Durability is also important. Remember that any dog may try and dig and small dogs often have longer nails. You may want to make sure that the dog cannot chew on any tags and that the style of mattress you choose also does not have any buttons on the surface. These may get chewed off and become foreign bodies that can cause serious medical issues.

The shopping process does not have to be difficult. Once you know the size and style you want you can start looking for different models to choose from. You can find many different options in pet stores if you want to look at them in person. If you don't mind shopping from pictures and product descriptions you may find that you will be able to get some great deals by checking out pet websites.
