How to Choose the Right Bed for Your Dog

When it comes to pet beds, there is a world of choice

We humans spend a lot of time and a lot of money trying to find the perfect bed for that perfect night sleep, and it shouldn't be any different for our pets, so let's look at the options. Like us, animals come in all ages, shapes and sizes, so what's good for one, won't necessarily be good for all.

Are there different kinds of beds?

Yes! Beyond your standard kinds of shapes and sizes, there are beds you can buy if you have a particular need in mind.

• We are big fans of raised beds. They get the pets off the cold wet ground and also allow the air to circulate underneath the mattress. They also very handy for arthritic dogs that can walk in and out of bed very easily. Snooza’s flea-free dog bed is a raised dog bed that allows airflow and some healthy distance between your pet and what lies on the ground. Made with an open weave, breathable mesh that stops fleas from burrowing into it and breeding, this is a great choice for a warm summer night in the backyard.
