Choosing The Right Bed For Your Small Dog

Every member of the family needs a place of their own to rest, including your furry friends.  Dogs sleep approximately 16 to 18 hours a day, so having the right dog bed can provide that perfect, quiet spot for any canine.  In addition to adding a stylish element to your home, a dog bed can provide a variety of benefits for your pooch, and you!  While some of us think sharing our own bed with our dog is the perfect solution, it can lead to a poor nights sleep and will leave you feeling sluggish and less productive in the morning. With the amazing selection of shapes, sizes, fabrics, styles and colors, today's dog beds have really come into their own.  From functional to fabulous, there is a dog bed out there that is sure to fit the needs of your pet.
Dogs on the smaller size tend to have a harder time keeping warm so they tend to like beds they can snuggle into.  Small dogs or toy breeds also like that extra layer of security so providing a bed to suit their needs is important. The bed you choose should be large enough that your pet can lie flat without hanging outside of it, but also provide ample security and ultimate snuggly-ness!

Evaluate the age and health of your dog as well.  Older dogs, even small dogs, have joint pain or can have mobility issues that make it difficult getting into or out of bed.  Some products offer support or a bolster on one side making it easy for dogs with these problems to access their comfy spot without difficulty.

Covered in a Berber fabric, it features a double pillow top design and open front for easy access. It comes in four bright and cheerful colors and are made with 100% recyclable material making it an Eco Friendly option as well.

A product that allows you to easily remove and wash the shell portion of the bed are very attractive.  Keeping a clean sleeping environment is important not only to your pet but will make your home a nice environment for all that share in the same living space.
