Beds
Do dogs really need beds?
Dogs sleep between 12 to 18 hours a day, depending on age. So, they need a comfy bed to snooze on just like you do. Although you might find your pup occasionally, or often, snuggled at your side during the night, dogs need to have a bed of their own.
What type of bed do dogs prefer?
Do dogs prefer hard or soft beds? The ideal dog bed is a perfect blend of soft yet firm. Your dog's individual needs will determine what dog is a perfect fit. For example, soft, memory foam beds are best for senior dogs with aging joints but harder beds may be better for adult dogs.
Do dogs prefer hard or soft beds?
Dogs don't need soft beds, but instead need to rest on a firm surface; too-soft pillow beds don't offer the support needed for comfortable rest and healthy joints, and an older dog who sinks into a plush bed may have trouble getting into and out of it. This doesn't mean he should sleep on the floor—that's too firm.
How many beds does a dog need?
More than one dog? To avoid competition you will need to have a minimum of one bed per dog. If your dogs enjoy snuggling up together consider getting an additional dog bed large enough for them to comfortably share.
