Buying Doggie Bed

All puppies are small dogs some, however, won't be small for very long. That is why you have to know how big your dog is going to be when it is fully grown before you can buy it a bed of its own. Or you'll have to buy your beloved pooch a new bed every six months or so for several years.

Small dogs for the most part they are full-grown in under a year. You can count on certain breeds merely doubling in size from birth. So buying this breed of dog a small dog bed means that unless there are accidents, one small dog bed may be good for the life of your pet.

Another thing to keep in mind is whether or not your puppy is a chewer. Chewing dogs, especially those puppies having a difficult time cutting their first set of teeth, may destroy the beautiful bed you've bought them as a way of relieving the pain in their mouths.

Another factor to consider, you might spend a lot of money, place your beloved puppy into his new sleeping place for a good night's sleep, and then awaken to find he's pooped and peed all over his new bed.

measuring for the correct bed size: measure them in their sleeping position and then add 7 inches for future growth or a change in sleep style. Small dogs prefer the "nest" type of bed, where there are structured sides to lay against and offer comfort when sleeping.

Finding the right bed is important because small dogs spend a lot of time being held by their owners, more so than larger animals, and the comfy, cozy small dog bed makes them feel safe and at home without the added human touch.

If you keep your dog in a crate be sure to upholster its sides and floor. Check our new designer crate wear
