Dog Beds For Sale

Whether you’re replacing your dog’s bed or you’ve adopted a new puppy and need to purchase a place for him to sleep, the biggest problem you will have is one of choice.  There are simply so many different variations of dog bed available from the luxury to the orthopedic and everything in between. 

You will find dog beds for sale at pet stores and online for all budgets.  It’s very important to give some thought to that space your dog will call his own.

At the lower end of the price range, you can buy reinforced plastic dog beds.  These are fairly inexpensive, easy to clean and you can put a mattress or blanket inside for your dog’s comfort.  The sides are often chewable, which will give your younger dog something to do if he has to be left for a short time.

You should always consider the size of dog bed you need.  This will obviously vary according to the breed of dog and his eventual size, should he still be a puppy.  Give some thought to his preferred sleeping position.  This will determine whether the shape of the dog bed should be rectangular, oval or round.  Buying the wrong shape of dog bed and then having to replace it is a waste of time and money.  It is probably best to buy a dog bed which is too big, rather than one that is too small as your dog will never be comfortable if he doesn’t have enough space and will probably reject the bed in favor of the floor.

There are dog beds available which are in fact fashion statements as much as they provide comfort for your dog.  If money is no object, you can even buy hand made designer dog beds.

Give some thought to the type of lining for the dog bed.  It’s always better to have something that’s washable, since you will want to wash his bedding once a week, just as you do your own.  This will reduce the ‘doggy smells’ in your home.

Now that you have an idea what to buy, shop around to see what kind of dog beds for sale are available and choose wisely.

Luxury Dog Beds

The dog has been known throughout the ages as man’s best friend.  For some, the dog’s role is shifting from best friend, to child.  Many childless couples, as well as childless individuals, are filling the void with their dog.  He becomes their ‘child’.  Either role, the dog is a very important member of most families.

Such an important member, that he is spoiled and pampered-sometimes beyond belief!  Often, in these recessive times, the dog owner will decrease the quality (thus decreasing the cost) of his own items as well as cut out non necessities before he decreases the quality of his dogs food, toys, and bedding.  The luxury dog bed has been created for just such pampered pooches.

The luxury dog bed comes in every imaginable style.  These designer beds can be purchased off the show room floor or special ordered to match the owners own furniture and decorating style.  The frame of the bed itself can be a simple stainless steel design, a  royal wrought iron copy of a king’s bed, or a primitive looking copy of a cave.

Options are almost limitless on luxury dog beds.  The cushion, or bed itself, can be filled with a dozen different fillings.  The three most popular fillings are cedar, memory foam, and gel. The memory foam and gel let the dog sink down into them and they mold into the dogs own form, remolding as he moves.  Sounds like sleeping on a cloud doesn’t it?  Choice of cushion covers has an unlimited selection of designer fabrics available ranging from heavy duty canvas to the very softest of soft ultra suede. The owner’s own imagination is the only limit to the colors and prints offered on these beds.

Prices start at under $100.00 for the most basic design.  The upper end cost can quite easily go into several hundred or even thousands of dollars, depending upon the option choices made by the dog owner.

Luxury dog beds are intended to pamper and spoil.  It doesn’t matter if the dog is the owner’s ‘best friend’ or ‘child’, as an important much loved member of the family he deserves the very best.

Coolaroo Dog Bed

Are you looking to replace your dog’s bed? There is a new style of dog bed on the market nowadays and you might find it to be more suitable than the reinforced plastic his old bed is made from.

Why don’t you consider a dog bed made from Coolaroo fabric? What makes this fabric a superior choice for your dog’s bed? Well, the reason that this patented fabric is so desirable for your dog’s bed is that it is made of a polyester weave. This means that the fabric is full of tiny holes, allowing it to breathe and making it resistant to mold and bacteria as well as fleas and ticks. When you put Coolaroo fabric onto a metal frame, either folding or free standing, it makes the ideal dog bed. The frame raises your dog from the ground so the air is allowed to circulate all around your dog, keeping him cool and comfortable in the summer months, whilst comfortably dry in humid weather; neither will he get too cold in the winter.

Coolaroo fabric is totally waterproof, so it is easy to clean – you can use your garden hosepipe and clean it with a jet of water. As it is knitted rather than woven, it won’t fray. It is very strong and durable, but when it does start to show signs of wear and tear, replacement covers are available without having to replace the frame of your dog’s bed.

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that Coolaroo is a highly versatile fabric which is often used nowadays for temporary shade such as a gazebo, sun blind or parasol, but since it is waterproof, it is also used to make umbrellas. In fact anywhere that you need a robust, outdoor fabric that shades you and won’t hold rainwater, Coolaroo is ideal for the job.

These coolaroo dog beds are so reasonably priced, around $25 to $50 depending on size that it seems a shame not to get one for your four legged friend. He’s bound to thank you for it!

Dog Cooling Bed

Cool, relaxed, ultimate comfort. Lying in a hammock, the very slightest movement in the air seems to turn into a slight breeze encircling the entire body, cooling it. The mesh material of the hammock conforms to the body, creating cool light support. Wow! Sounds wonderful doesn’t it? Some ingenious designers evidently thought man’s best friend, the dog, deserved the same cooling supportive comfort. It did not take long for dog owners and veterinarians to see the benefits of the dog cooling beds.

Cooling beds are raised dogs beds. The bed itself is supported on a frame with legs, thus giving the hammock effect. Veterinarians have come to the conclusion that the way the raised bed conforms to the dog’s body actually supports the dogs spine.

These beds have the standard optional choices as most dog beds. Color, frame material, size, and of course price range; all are to be considered. Dog cooling beds have two very distinct ‘mattresses’ to choose from.

Perhaps the most common style resembles the hammock mentioned earlier. A special knitted mesh fabric is connected to the bed frame giving the air circulating hammock effect.

The second type has a mattress or cushion which attaches to the raised bed frame. This special cushion is actually filled with a cooling substance. The substances used to fill this type bed varies greatly, from a mostly water based mixture to specially designed gels. Cushions that are mostly water based should be kept in cool shady areas to work properly. The water based cushion actually absorbs the dog’s body heat, thus cooling the dog. The gel based cushion is beneficial to arthritic dogs. It uses the same cooling principal as the water based bed. The gel actually conforms to the dog’s body giving it support and relieving pressure points at the same time it cools the dog.

Maintenance of these beds is extremely simple. To clean the mesh type bed, simply wash it with a garden hose. The filled cushion type cleans easily by wiping the cushion with a damp cloth.

The main thing to remember when using a dog cooling bed is to keep it in a cool shady place and always out of direct sunlight.

Wicker Dog Beds

People who love country warmth and charm in their decorating scheme should consider a wicker bed for their dog. They are hand-woven, so special care must be taken when selecting this product for a dog.

Tightness of weave may vary greatly. One style may be so tightly woven as to be almost solid, while another style may be very loosely woven, with open gaps in the looser woven style. Whichever style is used, it should be done correctly with no protruding ends to hurt the dog. The products weave should be continuous, with the ends woven down into the weave line.

Simplicity is not synonymous with wicker dog beds anymore. The simple country style wicker basket is still the most popular style, but now these products can be very elaborate. Besides the basket style, they come in raised beds, cooler beds, and very luxurious styles. One of the luxury styles is a raised tightly woven dog bed with drawers underneath for ‘doggie accessory’ storage.

The bed itself is usually found in natural, woody looking colors. White is another easily found color in wicker. Optionally, if the buyer wants to pay the extra cost it can actually be finished in any color desired.

Size of the bed is determined of course by the size of the dog it is meant for. The inside of the bed should be one size larger than the dog. To clarify that statement—the dog should be able to turn a complete circle comfortably in his bed before he lies down. By giving him that much extra space, his comfort is guaranteed.

Inside the bed is a comfortable pillow for the dog to lie on. The most popular pillows are filled with a poly-fil x cedar mixture. Cedar is added to the poly-fil because it deodorizes the dog bed and also repels fleas and other insects. Fabric color and material options vary from very economical to very expensive.

In today’s recession, cost is always an important factor in any purchase. Wicker dog beds are very reasonably priced. Simple styles for extra small and small dogs often are priced below $20.00. Large simple styles may often be found under $100.00.

Memory Foam Dog Beds

Why would your dog need a bed made from special foam? Isn’t he just as comfortable with a blanket on the ground? As you may have already heard, older dogs can benefit from the advantages of memory foam dog beds and their orthopedic support if they develop arthritis and joint pain from middle age onwards.

This is especially likely to happen if they become overweight, and if this is the case, besides changing his bed you may consider putting him on a low fat diet and taking him to see the veterinarian twice a year instead of once, just to keep an eye on things.

What you may not have realized, however, is that memory foam dog beds are recommended for all ages of dogs, particularly larger breeds which can suffer from hip dysplasia in middle to old age. Veterinarians say that your dog may not show symptoms of this crippling disease until middle age, so the sooner you provide your dog with some comfort, the better.

Memory foam was invented by NASA and it combines tiny air pockets with foam to mold to the shape of whatever happens to be lying on it. This means that your dog’s head and legs get just the same support as his middle and back. The even support that memory foam provides eliminates painful pressure points and adds considerably to your dog’s comfort. If you’re starting to think that your dog might be getting spoiled, I’ll tell you now that memory foam mattresses are also available for humans under several brand names.

You can buy memory foam dog beds at pet stores and online but they can range in price from $60 for a smaller version right up to $200 and more for larger more luxurious versions, so it’s worth shopping around. Don’t forget to purchase a washable cover for your dog’s bed, since foam and dog hairs, once joined together, are extremely difficult to separate.

So go on, give your dog the luxury he deserves – at least then you might be able to re-claim your couch for yourself!

Canine Cooler Bed

We can all suffer when temperatures soar, and that includes our canine friends. Now here’s a brilliant invention that could just make the summer heat more bearable for your dog.

Canine cooler beds are an innovative way to keep your four legged friend comfortable however hot it may be. Its scientific name is a “thermo-regulating” bed so it’s no surprise that its purpose is to regulate the temperature of your dog.

I guess you’re wondering how it all works. Well, the canine cooler bed consists of a heavy duty membrane filled with special crystals. When you add water to these crystals, they work to absorb heat from your dog and pass it into the air and into the surface below the bed. You don’t have to refrigerate anything, this cooling dog bed works at room temperature. Don’t worry that you might have the opposite problem and your dog might catch a chill. The effect is that of lying on a cool tiled floor.

You don’t need to be concerned that your dog might burst the membrane with his claws as he gets into and out of his bed – the tough outer surface is 20mm thick so it won’t burst. Your dog’s weight won’t damage it either since it is strong enough to take the weight of a truck. In addition, the gel filling is non-toxic, so should your dog chew it accidentally he won’t fall ill. It’s easy to wipe clean and fleas and ticks hate its coolness whilst your dog will just love it. The unique gel filling is comfortable and supports your senior dog’s aching joints. Irritation from skin conditions is often eased by a dry coolness and this is just what you get with a canine cooler bed.

Prices range from around $50 for the liner up to $400 for a luxury bed that includes a heater as well as a cooler, with everything in between depending on the size of your dog.

This is such a clever idea, that the manufacturers have taken it even further and they now also make a bandana and a jacket which work on the same principle.

So, don’t let your dog suffer in the heat ever again, buy him a canine cooler bed and watch his face light up.

The problem is that he is not able to tell you, so it is up to you to notice changes in his behavior and get him examined if you become concerned.

Your veterinarian may recommend that you purchase a new therapeutic dog bed especially designed to deliver orthopedic care and to help him feel more comfortable whilst he sleeps.

Needless to say, pet bed manufacturers have realized that there is a need for therapeutic dog beds and if you try an internet search, you will find that there is a wide range available to suit all types and sizes of dogs. At the lower end of the market, there is the dog bed with a bolster which is especially shaped to be comfortable for your dog. However, you can go right up to beds which are heated and have vibration massage, with everything in between.

For a lower budget, you may feel that you can afford a little luxury for him, so you may decide to choose a specially shaped bolster bed with a fleecy lining, which are available for all sizes of dogs. If you have a bit more to spend on your canine companion, how about a bed that comes with a cushion made from memory foam? This is especially designed to support his aching joints whatever position he lies in. The advantage of memory foam is that it molds to his shape and supports him comfortably.

Whatever bed you decide to purchase for your old faithful buddy, he is bound to appreciate a little luxury at this time in his life and a therapeutic dog bed could just be the ticket.

Raised Dog Beds

Why a raised dog bed? There is not just one correct answer to this question, but several correct answers. It seems the raised dog bed has many different benefits over the now outdated flat on the floor dog bed.

Veterinarians are beginning to recommend the raised beds over floor model beds. Why? Because these beds give dogs the spinal support we look for in our own beds. The spinal support benefit is the number one reason for purchasing these beds.

Raised dog beds come in several styles and have a large number of options available to the buyer. The first choice to be made is if the bed to be purchased is an indoor bed or an outdoor bed.

The indoor bed comes in several fabric options. Two of the most popular fabrics are fleece or a plush shearling type fabric. These fabrics can be lined with a waterproof backing if the dog tends to soils its bed. Indoor beds keep the dog off the floor and away from winters drafts of cold air sweeping across the floor. Also preventing chilling drafts are the optional sidewalls present on all four sides. Dogs can snuggle up against these sidewalls for added warmth and comfort. Most beds made for indoor use are machine washable and dryable.

What could be easier to clean than the indoor bed cover? Possibly the outdoor bed. Being made of a specially designed mesh fabric, all that is required to clean them is hose them off and let them dry. They are also machine washable and dryable if preferred. The mesh of the fabric of the outdoor style actually “breathes” and allows cooling air circulation throughout the bed.

After deciding if an indoor or outdoor bed is best, common options include, size, color, and side panels. More costly options such as monogramming are available. The monogramming option is having the dogs name embroidered onto the beds cover.

The frame material ranges from pvc pipe to stainless steel. Frame construction is an important component. The frame should be durable, free from any sharp points, and easy to assemble (preferrably no tools required). The price begins at below $30.00 and can extend well over $100.00 depending on the construction materials, size, and extra options.

If replacing a current dog bed, raised dog beds should certainly be considered. Besides the added comfort given the dog, is the additional benefit of spinal support to keep the dog in good health.
