- Sleeping habits – does your dog stretch out or curl into a ball while sleeping
- Kind of bed – should the bed be soft or well padded
- Dog size- the bed that will the most suitable to the size of your dog.
These can be the
important factors while choosing a dog bed or else you might just find your dog
insisting on sleeping in the same bed as you. Large dogs run a greater than the
usual risk of bone issues and hip dysplasia to their high growth rate. Finding
a large
dog bed that will be comfortable and support a dog’s body structure is
quite important to his living a healthy life. Many of these beds also come with
memory foam that bolstered sides that will let your dog relax their back and
also provide an added support that will conform to their body type, which will give
him ultimate control. It’s
also important that you look for beds with extra thick padding. Knowing your
dog's weight and whether or not the bed is meant for his size will help avoid
uncomfortable situations and not enough padding. If you buy a large bed without
enough padding, your pet could end up sleeping on the floor instead, and not
getting enough comfort and support.
Making sure you have the right dog
bed for any large dog will make the difference between a hard night's sleep and
sleeping in ultimate comfort. Knowing your dog's breed and how big he will
eventually grow will help you determine if you should buy a large dog bed now
or wait until he has hit his maximum weight and height. Always remember to
consider the weight of your dog when buying a dog bed for a large breed dog.
