What is the best dog bed for your dog
"Dogs love to have their own bed "
The best dog bed for a dachshund is one that he does not need to jump up and down from, as this puts strain on the spine of this elongated dog, you may not mind sharing your bed and love to feel that warm little bundle, it is not a good idea.
Most dog owners will look at purchasing a special bed for their puppy when they are fully toilet trained and ready to come out of their crate or perhaps earlier if they have not carried out crate training.
Why should your dog have his/her own bed?
- To provide warmth and comfort
- To have own space and feel secure
- To give cushion comfort, especially for an old or arthritic dog, by offering support for affected joints.
- To help prevent injury to your dog from needing to jump up and down from normal bed or furniture height.
Once you have found the best dog bed for your dachshund it may take a little time for him to become adjusted to the new bed, which of course can go on the floor of your bedroom, so he will feel secure, warm and comfortable in this special place.
When choosing a bed for your dachshund, try to pick a bed to suit the way your dachshund likes to sleep, stretched out, curled up or perhaps he/she likes to snuggle down into a really soft bed.
You need to make sure the bed is big enough, to make sure measure your dog when he is asleep and add on about 6-10 inches, it is better to have the bed a little big than too small.
Most dog beds come with removable covers and are machine washable, for convenience.
