Designer Dog Beds Are Becoming The Norm

Traditionally, dogs have not been offered beds, and were lucky to sleep on a pile of rags, if they were allowed in the house at all. In recent years, the trend has been for people to pamper their pets. Not only do their dogs have beds, they have deluxe, stylish designer dog beds to go with their chic haircuts.

You can deck your pet out with all manner of fancy designer accessories-designer collars, leashes, haircuts and grooming, and even designer clothes. Tell you what, though. Your pooch will appreciate a designer bed more than a new sweater. Guaranteed. If you want to equip your house with designer dog beds, consider not just local boutiques but the internet. There are many websites that carry exclusive lines of designer dog beds.

Designer Labels at Designer Prices

Normal dog beds, which are available in a great variety of styles and colors, and which not only can meet your dog’s needs but also can match your decor, only cost around fifty dollars. The price varies primarily according to the size of the bed (which in turn varies according to the size of the dog). As soon as you add a designer’s name to the exact same bed, the price will at least double.

Designer Dog Beds: Various Designs

Designer dog beds sometimes are similar in style or configuration to regular dog beds. However, even where beds follow the same form factor as non-designer beds, the designer who puts his or her name on the label has thought out the look and style. These beds come in just about any style, shape or size your heart can possibly desire.

Normal, donut dog beds don’t really look like donuts. For one thing, these beds have bottoms. They do have solid sides, and are usually round, thus giving them the donut like shape and inspiring the name. The ring part also makes a fine headrest for sleeping doggies. The shape may be ordinary but a lot of designer dog beds in this common style look very distinctive due to the variety of colors and fabrics.

Some designer dog beds are in keeping with the tendency to see dogs as little humans. People put sweaters on their dogs, so why not designer dog beds that resemble little sofas? These mini sofas are most likely available in a shape and color that matches your own sofa, and may also even be customizable.

Some are even styled to look like little people beds! These designer dog beds come complete with headboards and footboards in some cases. Other designer dog beds hide the actual dog bed away in a piece of ordinary looking furniture, such as a table or taboret.

Beds with Custom Aspects

Some designer have advanced functions to increase your pet’s comfort. For example, heated dog beds are available. These heated dog beds are ideal for older or arthritic dogs. Heated dog beds may not be the ideal pet beds in warmer climates, however. In hot climates, beds are available with cooling pads.

Things to Consider When Shopping for Designer Dog Beds

Different breeds of dogs have different body types, build and sleeping habits. The type of bed you choose for your dog should depend on not only your dog’s body type but also your dog’s habits. If your dog chews things, choose a bed that is sturdy and ‘chew proof.’

A fancy doghouse-style bed, which neatly hides your dog’s bed away, isn’t going to be all that useful if your dog doesn’t like small, enclosed spaces. You don’t want to spend a lot of money on pet beds for your dog only to have him ignore it. It is very important that you consider not only the decor of the room where you wish to place the bed but also your dog’s habits.

If you are buying for a puppy, make sure you understand how big the dog will eventually grow. You will either have to buy a large bed later, or just buy one at the start. If your puppy is a larger breed it may be a waste of money to buy a small bed when he is small, as they grow fast.
