A New Bed for Your Pet

Is your pet's bed lumpy, hard to clean or otherwise dismal looking? It is high time to replace his bed with a new one. Pet beds can cause discomfort to your pet just as a lumpy mattress can cause you to not have a good night's sleep. Additionally, if you've recently had a flea infestation, ditch the bed as you aren't likely to get all the flea eggs out of your pet's bed and when conditions are right, the eggs can hatch. And unfortunately, flea eggs can remain dormant for up to two years waiting for just those right conditions.

When choosing a bed for your pet, take his approximate size into mind. Don't buy your pet a bed that is too small or he won't be any more comfortable than he is now. Some pets that suffer from arthritis enjoy stretching out a bit so a larger bed may even be in order.

If your dog or cat isn't the type to enjoy curling up in a bed but would rather sit on the sofa and snooze beside you, you can get even get them a bed that looks like a little miniature sofa.

Other options for your pet's bed are warmers that require no heating source and reflect back your pet's body heat. Those are great for ill or convalescing pets.

It may take up to two weeks for your pet to fully accept a new bed and others may dig in the very first night. It depends on how accepting to change your pet is. A bed that is cozy and inviting will get a lot more use from your pet. If he has a favorite toy - put it on his bed or play with him a little when your first introduce it. It will help the bed to smell more familiar and he will be more accepting of sleeping on a new bed.
