12 Reasons to adopt a shelter dog

Recently my husband and I purchased a new bed. Before spending our money, we researched, talked with professionals, and tried out different mattresses. Why? We all know the answer to that—our time sleeping has a big impact on our time awake. The same is true for our dogs. According to Clark (2016), “On average, dogs spend about 12-to-14 hours of the 24-hour cycle sleeping.” Consequently, purchasing the right bed for your dog is just as important as purchasing the right bed for you. If you are in the market for a new bed for your dog, here are 5 things to consider.

  1. Size

It’s important to get a bed that fits your pet. Most experts suggest measuring your dog’s length and choosing a bed that is at least 5 inches longer and wider.

  1. Ease of Cleaning

Let’s face it—dogs get dirty. That’s why it is essential to get a bed that has a water-resistant, removable, and washable mattress cover.

  1. Quality

Don’t waste your money. When purchasing your dog bed, look for one that is durable, tear-resistant, and skid resistant. Also, check the mattress itself. Make sure it is an orthopedic mattress—not just a fluffy fiber filling that will become lumpy and absent of support.

  1. Special Needs

A young dog will need a bed that can hold up to their rambunctious behavior; whereas, an older dog or working dog may have physical issues that require a mattress designed to support their tired aching joints, back, and bones.

  1. Aesthetics

Okay—this doesn’t really have to do with your dog—but who doesn’t want their dog’s bed to look great too! With that in mind, interchangeable outer covers are fabulous. They can match your décor or add a festive look with seasonal colors and designs.
