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.

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.

Therapeutic Dog Bed

Just like you, your four legged companion will eventually reach his senior years and begin to feel stiff and sore in his joints. This will happen sooner if he becomes a little overweight. 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.

You can also buy dog beds that are heated by infrared panels. This serves to increase the blood flow to those sore areas and bring relief to your older dog’s joints. These beds often have a vibrate feature which you can control to give him just the intensity he likes.

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.
