Tips For Buying The Right Bed For Your Dog

· Dog Care

With a lot of dog bed choices out there, pet owners can easily be overwhelmed when shopping for the right bed for their pooch. Here are some tips to help find the right one:

Thickness of the padding

The right amount of padding will protect your dog’s bony protuberances that can easily become painful and may cause skin damage with prolonged pressure. Your dog’s elbows, hips, and shoulders will benefit from a well-cushioned doggy bed.

Type of padding material

The quality of the padding material can determine the comfort that your dog will get while sleeping. Thus, you should remember not to compromise the bed’s quality with quantity. Low quality material, such as loose foam, won’t provide the same type of comfort as high-quality memory foam.

Washability

The material of the bed cover should be easy to remove and wash. Ideally, it should be safe for laundry in the washing machine.
