Although it may seem silly, the truth is that the choice of your dog’s bed is more important than you think. In the same way that a brush adapted to the needs of the animal, a good harness or a specific shampoo are essential for its well-being, so is the bed where it sleeps. In this sense, they are not so different from us, they also need their hours of rest. Wouldn’t you choose just any mattress for you? Well, for him you shouldn’t choose just any bed. We help you choose the most suitable for your dog.
One of the fundamental aspects emphasized by the animal expert Carlos Rodríguez is that they prefer small beds with walls. The reason is very simple, and this is due to their instinct for protection, in them they feel safer and protected from any danger.
In addition, it is important that when choosing a bed for the dog you take into account the size of the animal . It is one of the most important issues, since one that is smaller than necessary will cause a feeling of discomfort, but if it is larger, the dog will feel helpless. Therefore, the ideal to solve this question is simply to measure it.
How do we measure it? As it could not be otherwise, you should measure it when you are sleeping to get an idea of how much it really occupies at the moment. In this sense, we must emphasize that it is normal for the dog to move during the night, so in case of doubt, we must always refer to those measurements taken in the pose in which it occupies the most space.
It is always preferable that there is more space than missing, because if the latter happens, the animal would be uncomfortable. You should also bear in mind that the ideal bed for your dog is one in which he can lie on his side fully stretched out without leaving parts of his body out of it.
Another aspect to take into account is the position of the dog to sleep. In the case that it is one of those who sleep rolled up, you have to ensure that its bed is round in shape, while if it does it stretched it can be horizontal.
The character of the dog also influences this question. If you are fearful, the ideal is that you opt for one of those original igloo-shaped beds.
