What type of bedding does my dog need?

Back

A “vetbed” is suitable for most dogs and can be reassuring for puppies and prevent sores in older dogs, this could be a sufficient bed in itself or be used to line a separate bed or be used to line a crate. They are also hygienic, machine washable, non-allergic and resistant to chewing. It is advisable to have at least 2 beds so that you have a spare when washing and ironing their bed. 

Does my dog need a dog blanket?

Whether it is winter or summer it might be a good idea to have a dog blanket when you first get your dog. Being homed or rehomed can be a stressful experience for a dog and they might find it comforting to have something soft and cuddly to snuggle into, hide under or bury their face in. This can literally be a security blanket to your dog and can be useful later on whether it ends up draped over their crate, in their bed or just being around to settle them down when you are not there.
