Increasing Your Pup’s Comfort: Get a Cosy Dog Bed

As a dog owner, your mission is to see your pooch happy. So, instead of feeling like you’ve failed in this when you shooed your pup away from your bed to finally get some quality and restful sleep, just buy him or her a snuggle bed and you’re good. This is a special type of pet bed that would offer your beloved pet so much comfort, you’d wonder what it’s like to sleep on one yourself.

Joke aside, investing in this kind of supply is one of the dog care essentials, offering your furry friend their own private space where they can relax, snuggle, and get some rest and quiet away from any distractions. Since not all dogs are the same, not all beds are the same. This includes luxury cuddler dog beds as well as doughnut, igloo and cave designs that differ in size, shape, and level of fluff so the choice comes down to how big of a cuddler your pooch is, as well as how much warmth they prefer.

Cuddler Bed

As the name implies, this type is ideal for offering the utmost cosy feeling. Not only is it available for smaller breeds but bigger breeds too. It’s perfect because it’s created with bolsters or a raised side to provide your lovely pet with the right dose of support and a place where they can rest their head when in need of some quiet time after a tiring play.

More on their benefits, they are warm and fluffy, and are perfect for keeping your dog toasty. Thanks to the degree of comfort they’re designed to offer, cuddler dog beds are great for pets that suffer from separation anxiety when you leave for work. Add an extra layer of comfort in the form of a blanket, or some of your shirts to keep your scent around them, and you can be certain of lowering their anxiety.

Doughnut Bed

Among the more popular shapes, this type of snuggle bed is rounded (i.e. doughnut-shaped), and created to offer enough support and warmth. Still, it’s best left for younger dogs and healthy dogs that don’t have trouble getting in and out of bed in which case an orthopaedic would serve best. 

Since they have an open design, doughnut dog beds are ideal for sprawlers and stretchers, and those canines that overheat easily because of the long and thick fur coats. Easy to pack up and transport, you can take them anywhere with you if you like to be on the go with your pooch.

Igloo Bed

If your dog cares more about their private time and likes to hide, an igloo-shaped bed is perfect for them because it offers them ample space, a safe spot if you will, where they can retreat to any time they’re in need of some alone time. This kind of special cuddler dog bed awakens your pup’s animal instinct by providing them with a place to hide and observe the surroundings without being disturbed.

Not surprisingly, it’s beloved by felines too so if you also own a cat you’re likely to find it hiding in there occasionally which can be either good or bad for your dog depending on whether they like to share the space. In case they don’t, then you’re left with no other choice but to get two for each.

They’re a worthy investment also if you live in a colder region that’s known for the chilly nights as the bed will keep the pets nice and cosy. Available in all sorts of materials and sizes, you can pick out whichever you find to be best for your fur babies – and for you in terms of ease of cleanliness.

Cave Bed

Now, this is the kind of luxury dog bed that’s in between igloos and doughnuts, as they’re neither too open nor too closed. As such they’re perfect for dogs who like privacy, and are security seekers but also feel somewhat claustrophobic and scared of enclosures. You can find this type also as a hoodie bed, and it’s specifically designed for pooches that like to burrow.

The cave-style pocket designed to stay up offers the ideal spot for nestling and can come in handy with providing an anxious dog with the needed sense of calm. If your pet likes to scratch, turn, and settle in, this is the bed you ought to get. For the sake of hygiene and making your dog caring chores easier, look for designs that have removable and machine-washable covers.

In terms of materials, you can find these beds made of polyester, cotton, velvet, and other fabrics. The inside is usually stuffed with recycled polyfill, which makes the bed both comfortable and eco-friendly. When it comes to size, make sure to pick a bed that will comfortably fit your dog when they’re curled up.
