PetStore.com.au's guide to the right Dog Bed

There comes a point in every dog owners life to consider the purchase of a quality dog bed for their beloved four legged friend. Whether its wanting them to sleep in comfort or wanting them to stop taking over the lounge or owners bed, to dogs getting older and artritic and needing better sleeping support. There are a multitude of reaons for buying a dog bed for your little friend and therefore there are many sizes, styles and models for dogs of all kinds.

Here are a few questions to consider when buying a dog bed:

Q: How does your dog normally rest, both during the day and night

A: Dogs all have their own personality and like humans have many sleeping patterns. We have side sleepers, back sleepers and even face sleeps. Dogs are generally categorised as either curlers (curling up into a ball), stretchers (love to stretch out and chill) and the leaners (dogs who love to lean against a soft item or against something supportive)

Curlers and leanders are similar and may prefer the style of a nested or donut dog bed which emcompasses them in a nice walled side. These are commonlu called donut dog beds as they resemble cored out donut. They are great for dogs to snuggle up and keep warm during colder months so older pets or arthritic pets will benefit from this additional warmth and support.

Stretchers love to sprawl out and generally circle nad grrom their nest before sleeping. This indicates a dog who likes a large, spacious area to sleep in to call their 'den'. Dogs with this behaviur will not want to be confined so a larger then the dog bed is recommended such as the ground and raised flat dog beds, pillow style dog beds and square dog beds.
