In today's society people will spoil their pets rotten. No longer do dogs sleep in a cardboard box under the stairs. There are hundreds of different dog beds on the market, which can often make choosing one for your new canine friend a very difficult task.
Dog Sofas
A popular choice for many pet owners is the new dog sofa. These can be used as either a large stylish bed or a comfy chill out area for lounging after a long walk. Ideal for small and medium sized dogs is the Trixie 'Charmel' Dog Sofa Bed. This cute dog sofa is comfy and stylish made for a cosy suede material. This dog sofa bed is available in a range of neutral colours and will also add a beautiful added piece of furniture to your home. For a really stylish modern design, a good option is the Trixie 'Paolo' Dog Sofa. This has more of a sophisticated and classy style with leather arms and a large suede sofa cushion. This modern design will no doubt look beautiful against all your furniture and is created with high quality foam padding for extra comfort. All dog sofas come with machine washable cushion covers and are made with easy clean materials so you won't have to worry about muddy paw stains.
Blankets and Cushions
You could always opt for a simply blanket or cushion if sofa's seem a little OTT. Blankets are perfect for adding extra warmth during the winter months. Dog blankets are available in a wide range of sizes, colours and materials. The dog blanket is ideal for furniture and cars to protect upholstery from shedding fur and dirty paws.
The dog cushion on the other hand, is ideal for trips away with your dog, due to the light weight and ease of transport. Cushions are often considered as a bed for small dogs; however they can come in a wide range of sizes and colours suitable for any breed. The 'Scoopy' Dog Cushion for instance, features a thick padding with 4cm of polyester fleece and is available in nine different sizes.
Dog Beds
Nowadays dog beds come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and materials. For something more traditional, opt for the bucketed styled dog bed with fleecy styles. This style of dog bed is available in a wide range of colours and patterns, including the Trixie 'Charly' Dog Bed with cute paw prints for a fun and appropriate style. Alternatively, if your dog has more of a crazy and wacky personality you could opt for the Trixie 'Tamayo' Dog Bed with multi coloured stripes. This particular bed can be purchased in three different sizes, suiting a wide range of breeds.
For a really comfortable bed, why not spoil your dog with some memory foam. Very similar to the memory foam we use to help with joint and back problems, the memory foam dog bed is useful for older dogs who may struggle to sleep in the traditional dog bed.
Dog mats
Dog mats are ideal to put in the boot of your car for keeping your dog comfy and protecting materials from hair and muddy paws. The dog matt can be fitted and removed easily and can be used either on car journeys or in the home. The non slip material is ideal for car boots and hard floors to stop dogs from skidding around on the matt. A real treat for your dog and a current trend on the dog bed market is veterinary thermal bedding. This thermal mat will make your pet's sleeping area warm and comfortable even on cold kitchen floors.
Whatever your dog's size, be sure to purchase a good quality dog bed to ensure your pet is warm and comfortable.
