There are a lot of pet beds out there being offered but even if you buy the largest, the most expensive and the most exclusive-looking product it is not a certain sign that your four-legged friend will have the best rest. In fact, buying such product is a matter of relativeness. By this term I mean that there is not a single product that fits for all. Each dog has its own characteristic and preference and hence things related to it should unique too.But of course we also understand that we are living in an age of post-industrial age. Product for your canine is seldom sold as “a product”, but part of “products”. The plural signifier indirectly shows that it will be difficult to find a unique product. Difficult is not impossible though. As long as we are willing enough to strive finding the unique product, we will have it.
With uniqueness in mind, I can define three parameters that should help dog owners making really effective pet beds purchase. There are probably some things that I missed so that I hope you can help me in the comment section.
Allergies
Each creature in this planet has its own proneness toward something. This proneness specific to a creature or a class, a genus, a species of creature but not all creatures have the same allergy. Just like I don’t develop energy symptoms when I am close enough to dogs while my sister will instantly sneeze, the canine can also sneeze if it is close enough to polymer, polyester or even cotton. Knowing what material that is able to trigger allergy in your friend will prevent you from buying incorrect product.
Size
My friend’s dog has built a habit of curling while it sleeps since it is still a puppy (believe me: I even accompanied my friend when he bought the puppy from the shop). That’s why my friend had bought rather medium pet beds - yes, he bought two: one for home use and the other for traveling because he loved taking his friend too. But not all canines build the same habit while they are sleeping. Some stretch out while the other simply will lie down.
Cleaning
Ok, this is a tricky topic. An owner may successfully train the four legged creature the proper way to defecate and urinate. But other owners may be failed. But one thing that owners cannot avoid is that the furred creatures will leave some dirt, pock or stain on their pet beds. They are active creatures, aren’t they, that they will be jumping in and out of the house, the muddy lawn or on the soil of your garden. When they are resting, sure enough they won’t clean their toes first. Convenient enough for cleaning thus should be a parameter worth considering.***
