Dog Pet Beds

When athritis sets in there is pain in every step you take. Think about how much pain a canine must indure if he has to walk on four legs vs. two. Along with medication, a firm mattress can make the difference between a good rest and no sleep. Additionally, many dogs have orthopedic issues. Our dog went flying off the deck to chase a squirrel. The result was very expensive knee surgery, otherwise he would have been crippled for life. After that incident, there was no more laying on the hard floor. It was a firm dog mattress with support for his premature arthritis and not so perfect knee.

Try an orthopedic napper to relieve joint pain. Also super comfortable is a memory foam mattress or topper. The use of memory foam provides support and comfort that is out of this world.

Waterproof
If your canine sleeps outdoors in a kennel or dog house a waterproof dog bed would be your best option. The weather outdoors is unpredictable. Between the rain, snow or dew that occurs, depending upon the region you live, finding a material which is water resistent will last longer and be more comfortable. The elements can take a beating on any item left outside, so check the label and look for a heavy duty canvas which is water resistant.

Elevated
Another option for both indoor and outdoor sleeping is an elevated bed. These beds will protect your canine from sleeping on a hard surface. Lifting his body off the ground provides air flow, keeping your animal cool and comfortable. When sleeping outdoors, keeping your pooch off the ground provides comfort, while him stays dry.

Heated
That's right. I said heated! These are so comfortable you'll want to steal one for yourself. Ideal for use in the basement, garage, barn, shed, porch, balcony, or the doghouse. A low-wattage bed heats the mattress to a comfortable 102 degrees. Also safe for indoor use, providing extra comfort to those aching joints. These beds are constructed of super-soft PVC on the exterior that won't absorb water. Then wrapped in a fleece cover for softness. Also look for a bed with a steel wrapped cord to ensure your pet's safety.
