Keep Your Dog Cozy This Winter With the Right Pet Bed

Dogs are an important member of the family and as responsible dog owners, we want to make sure that our pets are living a comfortable life and the pampering they deserve. With the onset of cold weather, a lot of dog owners need to get cozy beds for discriminating pooches. There are endless options to choose from but which dog bed should you get?


Choosing the Right Bed for Your Dog

The right dog can keep your pet warm and comfy even on cold winter nights. Ensure comfort by choosing a dog bed especially made for your particular dog’s breed and size.

If you are looking to purchase a pet bed for your puppy, you may want to consider getting one that would be big enough for your pooch to sleep in until past its puppy-years.

Apart from the size, carefully consider the material used in creating the dog bed and choose one that’s well-made and durable enough to last for years. Take note that high quality dog beds may cost a bit more than their cheap counterparts but if it’s hard-wearing enough, you won’t be needing to buy a new one again for a long time, saving you money in the long run.

Is the bed easy to clean? This is another important factor to consider. Some pet beds come with easy clean removable covers, and these can save you from the hassle of having to wash the entire bed when it gets soiled.


Some pet beds are designed with woolen pads. These come in several different sizes and are perfect for providing warmth in a cold room. Dogs will surely feel a lot more comfy on a bed with heated pads.

There are cooling dog pads for warmer weather, too. These handy mats are soft, easy to transport and gives dogs a personal space when visiting friends and family.

When choosing a dog bed, design should only be a secondary factor. There are styles and colors that look great and blend in nicely with different home decors. However, although you may want your dog’s bed to complement your home’s interior design, make sure that your pet’s comfort is not compromised.

Give your dog a bed that it will love will make it easier to train them not to jump on your sofa or lay on your bed. If your dog is happy and comfy in its own pet bed, it will save you from the trouble of having to use your cushions and throws just to make your dog feel warm and cozy come winter time.

Shop for a Dog Bed Online

Whether your dog is big or small, the perfect dog bed is out there. Rather than wasting a lot of hours checking out brick-and-mortar stores in search of a suitable pet bed, you can simply browse through online pet stores.

Spend some time reading customer reviews posted by other buyers, as these can be very helpful in making a decision. Many legitimate retailers will provide this information from their website.

Before buying any thing online, comparison shopping is recommended. Different online shops may offer the same item at different prices. If you are purchasing a pet bed made locally, you might be able to save more, including the cost of delivery as some retailers offer free ground shipping to local customers.

Be sure to check the online seller’s reputation as well to avoid any issues with your purchase. See to it that you are purchasing from a legitimate seller – one that offers customers with purchase protection and guaranteed satisfaction.

It is so much easier to shop for dog beds online and if you do your research well, you can surely find the perfect choice for your dear pet.

Brushing and Combing Tips For Dog Owners

Brushing or combing a dog’s coat is very important for good grooming. Long haired dog breeds need every day brushing while short-haired dogs may require combing at least once or twice a week. Here are tips on how to make grooming a fun and enjoyable time for your dog: Start early. It’s best to train them while they’re young. If you adopted an older dog who wasn’t trained for grooming, it’s never too late to start training. Sit or stand your dog in a comfortable spot. Run your fingers through his fur.

How to Stop Your Dog from Pulling on the Leash

Notice how untrained dogs pull on the leash as their human helplessly tries to make them stop? Dog walking can be a lot of fun, but if your dog isn’t following your lead, it can be very strenuous and frustrating. How do you train a dog to walk properly and follow your lead? Here are the steps: Before putting on the leash, let your dog sit and stay * * . Dogs love to go out for walks and seeing you with that leash in your hand can make him ecstatic. Never put on that leash until he sits and stays. If you do, he’ll get used to jumping around and would never stay still as you put on the leash on his neck. If he continues to jump around, put the leash away and repeat the command “Sit”. Make sure that your dog understands that unless he does as told, he’s not going out for a walk. If he sits and stays, and waits for you to put on the leash, praise him, give him a pat and assure him that he’s done a good job. Walk him to the door. After putting on the leash, your dog may...
