Many pet owners prefer sleeping in their comfy beds with their lovely pets with them. But many experts advise against doing this for a few serious reasons:
- Alpha dogs sleep on a much higher level in the wild compared to other members of the pack. By allowing your dog to sleep with you on the same bed, it may unwittingly rise to your dog acquiring a dominant behavior (that is, your dog might treat you as an equal instead of the "leader of the pack")
- Hygiene is a serious concern. Some nasty health problems could be transmitted from your dog to you. For instance, fleas and ticks can infest your bed if your dog has them, and this can cause intense itching in your body especially if you're hypersensitive to these parasites.
