Dog bed

Not every dog bed is created equal! Every type of dog bed offers its own benefits. On this page we will discuss different types of dog beds.

Pillow beds

A Pillow dog bed is type that is used most of all. Pillows come in many sizes, shapes, and colors. Some are filled with cedar chips that certainly add a pleasant aroma to the room. Cedar is also a natural flea repellent which will help prevent infestation of your dog. Many of these pillow beds have a zippered inner liner so that you can add fresh cedar, or remove the polyfil so that your pet gets just the right firmness. Outer liners are easy to remove for laundering.

Mat beds

Mats are less bulky and usually fit nicely into a corner or inside a crate. Crate pads, specially designed to fit inside a crate, are made of a firm polyfoam and covered with a longlasting, washable nylon fabric.

Nest beds

Many dogs love the secure feeling a nest bed gives. Nest beds generally use a firm foam support that forms a sort of "wall" around the dog. These are just the thing for the dog that loves to "cuddle" up, and shorthaired, senior and arthritic dogs are especially fond of these.

Orthopedic beds

An orthopedic dog bed is of great benefit to pets that develop joint problems such as hip dysplasia. They also benefit aging dogs, dogs with arthritis, or overweight dogs. These beds are made of a medical-grade polyfoam that provides support while helping to relieve pain and discomfort.

Heated beds

Heated dog beds also benefit arthritic dogs and dogs with joint problems. Also, if you live a part of the country that is cold, your dog may enjoy curling up on a heated dog bed. After all, wouldn't you?
