Tips on Choosing the Best Dog Bed
How to Choose the Best Dog Bed
Our dogs are like members of the family, and we want to give them the best life possible. Dogs are very active animals that love to explore, play, and sniff around, making it important that they get enough rest. According to the Sleep Foundation, your dog sleeps for an average of 12-14 hours a day. As dog owners, we can help make sure our dogs get sufficient rest by providing them with a comfortable and quiet area to rest.
Choosing the best
dog bed is important as you want to provide them with somewhere
comfortable that is also the perfect getaway spot for your dog to enjoy some alone time. But how do you know which
dog bed to pick?
Here at WCF, we
have listed
some tips to help make your choice easier.
Choose the Right Shape & Size
When choosing
your dog’s bed, the size and shape are the most important factors. Your dog’s
bed should be big enough for them to lie comfortably in all natural positions.
When choosing the size of your dog bed, if your dog isn’t fully grown, consider
their projected adult size to help save money and reduce waste. When picking
the shape of your dog bed, take some time to watch your dog’s behaviour to get
a good idea of how they like to sleep, finding which bed will match their
sleeping pattern.
It is also a
good idea to choose a dog
bed for car journeys. Your dog needs to be comfortable when travelling, whether it be for a
long or short journey. Choosing a dog bed for car journeys will make them feel more relaxed and
less anxious.
Here at WCF, we
like to keep it simple when choosing the best dog bed. We have two shapes of dog beds, a nest dog bed, perfect for
dogs who like to cuddle up and cushioned
dog bed for those who like to sprawl out.

Choose a Colour
Of course, choosing the right bed for your dog is the most important factor but that doesn’t mean it can’t match your home. There are lots of stylish beds on the market today that will reflect your style. Our dog beds come in a choice of three colours: green, grey, and pink, all reflecting the beautiful scenery of the Lakes.Choose a Good Material & Fabric
When choosing a
dog bed, there are lots of different filling options on the market today. It is
a good idea to choose a quality bed over a low-cost bed as they are more
durable and last longer. Lots of dog beds on the market today, including our
Lakes Heritage Dog Beds are fibre filled, like you would find in a cushion.
When
choosing the material of your bed, spend some time watching where your dog
sleeps to give you an idea on what material you should go for.
Choose a Machine Washable Dog Bed
It is important that you chose a machine washable dog bed. If it isn’t, it makes it more difficult when it comes to cleaning your dog’s bed and eliminating odours in your house as it can’t be deep cleaned. The perfect dog bed will come with a removeable cover to make washing so much easier.
