• Look for a good quality bed, one that is waterproof and has components that are washable. Choose fabrics that hold up well under repeated laundering. This will keep your dog's bed fresh smelling and free of pests.


• Check out the composition and material used to fill the dog bed. Memory foam or Natural fibers offer superior comfort. Choose one that fits your dog's needs.


• If you want a more decorative dog bed, check out the different designer beds.


• Some dogs like the security of a bed with bolsters or walls and small dogs will stay warmer in this style of dog bed also. Other dogs just like to rest their head on the shoulder panels.

• Think about having a separate washable bed for your car so that doggie odors don't build up in your vehicle.


• Purchasing more than one cover is useful so that you always have a clean one at the ready.


• Think "Thick" foam dog beds for older, arthritic dogs, or big dogs.


• If your dog has thin skin or a light coat consider fabrics that won't irritate. Fleecy, furry, or natural cotton would be good choices.
• Don't forget heated beds for pets that sleep in colder areas.


• If parasites are a problem, cedar filled dog beds discourage these pests and also have a deodorizing effect.


• If you have allergy problems, stay away from products containing substances or fibers that may trigger your allergies. Leather would always be a good easy-care choice.
