What type of bed do I need for my new dog?
Back
Your dog will need a comfortable bed to sleep in- ensure that you pick one that is big enough for them, particularly for them to grow into if you are homing or rehoming a puppy or dog that has not yet finished growing. It you know that you aren't going to put them in a crate to sleep in, it might be worth purchasing a more basic bed to start with until you understand more about your dog- for example does he/she prefer sleeping in cool or warm places, does he/she prefer to be flat or do they like to have a pillow, do they prefer to sleep in a space that is covered (i.e. under a coffee table) or that has surrounding walls (between pieces of furniture) rather than somewhere more open. Do they have a single spot in the house where they tend to sleep or do they have a couple of different spots where they like to sleep. All of these questions will help you to work out what style of dog bed would be most suitable. You should also consider the age of your dog- older dogs might need an orthopedic style bed to give their limbs and joints a bit of added support and to prevent sores and aches and pains. Puppies and smaller dogs might also like a "cuddler" style bed that they can really bury themselves in.
