Designing dog beds for your pet

Animals enjoy many of the comforts, which are somewhat similar to humans, including a warm, soft, cozy place to sleep. Instigating certain creative ideas for designing dog beds for your pet can help them in spending their days sleeping comfortably and in a cosy manner. This will further prevent from them from occupying people’s furniture and prevent them from possibly chewing or scratching the furniture. However, while developing ideas for designing dog beds for your pets, it is essential to consider certain factors such as the size, cost, comfort and the cleaning technique, which can be an important factor for many of the dog owners. 

Dog beds can be easily searched at a number of pet stores, pet supply outlets and big box retailers and also in certain sporting catalogues and websites. These beds are available in a variety of colors, patterns and range, which can be purchased according to the habits of your pet. For instance, if you have a large dog, then purchasing a large size bed for your dog can make them feel comfortable and help them to stretch in an ease. They are also beds that are designed for older dogs, which have a special padding and heating elements to cushion and warm up arthritic bones. 

If you are into creativity and love to design things on your own then you can easily make a dog bed with materials that can be found easily in fabric stores and also home improvement centers. Some of the good fabrics include heavy weight upholstery material, indoor-outdoor material and canvas. Simple beds can easily be constructed by machine sewing three edges of doubled over fabric with a heavy-duty double zig-zag stich and adding a zipper to the fourth side for easy cleaning. Stuffing for dog beds can be done by using cotton batting and foam. However, if you are designing outdoor dog bed for your pet, then you can use a stuffing of hay or straw.

There are many cold weather dogs such as Labrador retrievers, which can become overheated in warm and fluffy beds, but enjoy a soft padded place to rest. For these kinds of dogs you can simply design sleeping mats using faux sheepskin. These thin mats would be easy to launder and transport. However, if you are willing to purchase a dog bed, then you can search for various online stores that provide you with quality products at affordable prices.
