Tips On Selecting A Dog Bed For A Massive Dog

By Tim Atkins


If you have a big or heavy dog then you need to get it an enormous dog bed. However this is not simply a matter of having a look at a bed that appears to be enormous and then buying it for your dog. The first thing that you'll have to do is to actually observe your dog and pay attention to what style it sleeps in. In particular, some dogs like to curl themselves up as they sleep, while other dogs wish to stretch themselves out as they sleep.

If you've a dog that likes to stretch itself out, then you will be looking to buy a long rectangular shaped dog bed for it to sleep on, and you will need to ensure that the bed is noticeably larger than the dog to make sure that your dog can comfortably spread itself out across the bed.

If you've got a dog that likes to curve up, then you want to select for her a round dog bed. A number of these beds might be enclosed, while others will simply be flat or have a cushion like structure to it. Again you will need to be sure the bed is significantly larger than the dog, to make sure that the dog can comfortably rest on it in full.

You can get beds in a variety of styles and colors. Pink dog beds are especially popular if you have got a female dog, or for women that simply love the colour pink. Styles with a pattern print are reasonably popular too.

Another thing that you may want to consider is the dog bed filler that's being used. There are a number of fillers, and of course not all fillers are made similarly. If you have a large dog, then memory foam is an extremely fascinating filler as it is especially good at observing weight and providing support, and is not as collapsible as some of the cheaper dog bed fillers.
