Make sure they’re comfortable with it so they get used to sending time alone. Where can I buy the best dog bed from?

Many dogs like having their own space to just have some time out in, somewhere quiet that they can make their own. Whether their bed will be kept in the living room, in the human bedroom, inside their dog crate or simply moved around depending on the time of day, it is key they’re comfortable. A dog's bathroom accidents are no fun to clean up. Unfortunately, these accidents are common in dogs who suffer from incontinence, often caused by health conditions like spinal injury and bladder stones. The Brindle Waterproof Designer Memory Foam Pet Bed is ideal for these dogs who just can't make it outside in time or who can't go to the bathroom as other dogs do and must wear diapers.The design of this bed means warm air can flow underneath rather than getting trapped underneath your dog. This design is different than how some of the best dog cooling mats work, but it is still effective. The bed's suspended platform made of durable polyethylene fabric also minimizes pressure points, a feature that will bring comfort to arthritic dogs.

Plus, the bed comes with a chew-proof warranty. If your dog damages the bed within 120 days of receiving it, the company will give you a one-time-only store credit to replace the bed. The base of the bed is made with charcoal to help absorb odors, and it's available in several sizes and four color options. As if that isn’t all enough, the bed is machine washable – and at 30C. Throw their other toys and blankets in there too and you have a fully clean boudoir for your pup.

Durability: We considered whether each bed seemed like it would stand up to the test of time. We looked for beds that weren't too flimsy and could withstand multiple washings. Also bear in mind older dogs may change their sleeping habits if they develop joint pain or simply spend more time in the dog bed. So, just because they love their dog bed now doesn’t mean they always will. You may even have to opt for something which is water-resistant if they start having accidents. Should I get a raised bed? It is a good idea to buy a puppy a bed which matches their size so they know it is their own. As mentioned, most beds are available in three sizes so you may want to start with the smallest and increase, but there are also dedicated puppy beds out there. Two tips to help if you have a chewer in your house: Rotate your dog's toys so they don't see the same 3 (or 25!) toys all the time. "This could cause their bed to be the new chew toy," says Amber Walker, KPA-CTP, a dog trainer in Batavia, Illinois. Then consider a chew toy that matches the texture of the bed so you can redirect them to a toy their mouth is craving if they begin chewing on the bed. Of course, some dogs do consume toy parts when chewing so be mindful of that, she added. Although this bed was too small for my golden retriever and golden/lab testers, my cat slept in it regularly.
