How do I know what type of bed my dog
will like?
The best way to determine the
perfect bed for your dog is to watch him or her sleep. Match your choice to
your dogs sleeping style and it'll be his favorite place to rest.
Does your dog curl up into a ball
or love to lean against something soft? A pillow or bolster beds would be a
great choice.
If your dog likes to sprawl out
when sleeping, he will need plenty of space and a soft fill, a rectangular or
custom shape could be just what he needs.
Is your dog older or arthritic? Cushioning
joints and maintaining comfort for senior dogs is essential, for older dogs an
orthopedic bed is always recommended.
What size bed do I buy for my dog?
Once you have determined the type
of bed your dog prefers, you can use the guidelines below to help you select a
size.
In
general we believe that measuring your pet lying down as he is normally
accustomed to lying, is the best way.
*Measure from nose or front
legs, to back legs or rump.
*For loungers, measure your
pet in the curled up position and add eight inches.
*For pillows, measure your
pet sprawled out and add 12 inches.
Refer to the
Specifications of the Bed you would like to purchase and select
the size of bed that will best fit those measurements
Remember that round bed
measurements are in diameter (width across the circle).
If
you are still not sure, it's always better to buy something a little too big
than a little too small
