DOG BEDS AT EBAY UK AND EBAY USA |
|
|
There are a variety of dog beds available at Pet Shops and it is important to provide a dog with a bed that it can consider its own territory and place of refuge in order to give the puppy or dog a sense of security.
A cardboard box with one side cut down provides an ideal dog bed for a growing puppy still in the chewing stages and is easily replaced as it becomes damaged, soiled and as the puppy grows and requires a larger bed. Newspaper with a old blanket on top will provide the puppy with comfort and warmth.
Any dog bed should allow a little space around dog once lined with soft bedding. Many Pet Shops sell a variety of soft beddings for use with dog beds such as padded blankets, fabric and fleece cushions, etc and many have removable covers making them easy to wash. Old blankets and towels can also be used as coverings for dog beds.
Whicker baskets are traditional dog beds although they are hard to clean and easily chewed (which can lead to swallowing) whilst plastic dog beds are more robust, less easily chewed and are easily cleaned. Both these types of dog bed will require some cushioning bedding to be placed inside to provide comfort and warmth for the dog.
Padded fabric dog beds are available in a traditional basket design and also as "igloo" style dog beds. These types of dog beds often come complete with removable and washable padded cushion and so may not require additional bedding.
Many Pet Shops also sell bean bag style dog beds. These provide a cozy bed which the dog can sink into and often have removable covers making them easy to clean.
