Then weigh your pet while you sleep.
First pay attention to how your pet sleeps. If your pet is sleeping stretched, measure them from nose to tail. Add from 8 to 12 inches to determine the size of the pet bed you need. This is for placing your adult pet, if your pet is still a child, then you will need to add extra space so that you can grow. In addition, you can add extra blankets, sheets, or pillows to a large bed while your pet is still a child.
If you have a bigger, heavier pet, the thicker the cushion will be. This will help prevent squash pillows, which may look like your pet sleeping on the bare floor.
Special needs and important functions
If your pet is older, they may need an orthopedic bed to ease their pain. Orthopedic beds are made of foam with a high density of memory, which helps to fit your pet's shape and helps ensure comfort from painful joints or arthritis.
You want a lot to choose a heated bed for pets that used to be cold or shorthair, or you live in a cold climate.
If your pet likes to feel more confident, choose a more cave where they will feel safe. It will be a good idea if your pet likes to hide, to fall asleep, or goes under the furniture to sleep. There are many shapes and sizes of these special beds.
First read the washing or maintenance instructions.
It is very important to make sure that the bed for your pet will be easy to clean. Let us come to terms with this, our pets are not always pure creatures, so it’s much easier and cheaper to buy a bed that you can just throw in a washing machine and / or dryer. Beds need to be cleaned every week or two to help with smells and dirt. Cleaning can also help with fleas. I found that wash beds in baking soda and vinegar are best for removing odors in the wash.
What style or color should you choose?
See what best suits your home decor. Pet beds have come a long way, and there are many different styles of pet beds like furniture for people. After you win, choosing the right size, the parameters are unlimited, you can choose your decor for color and style or go completely different. Make it a fun choice, all my pets have certain colors, and all their bedding is in this colored family.
How much to spend
An estimated 17.8 billion dollars (yes, MILLIONS) will be spent in 2018 on various pet products. We, as owners, want our pets to have the absolute best of everything, but it's easy to go overboard (as I often do) with the purchase of a pet bed. Try to keep a budget in mind before looking at the pet bed and stick to it. Remember that this probably will not be a purchase at one time, since the beds will need to be replaced by wear.
