Based on historical accounts, Imperial dogs called Hah-Pah were the pet of choice for Chinese emperors and empresses. Pekinese, Shih Tzu, and Lhasa Apso are among the most common breeds of Imperials. Imperials were treated highly by empire people as holy animals. An Imperial was deliberately killed once it became too large because it was believed to be highly undesirable.



Fortunately today, dogs are safe from this ancient practice. No need for dogs to go dieting just to avoid being killed. These days, pet owners give their dogs every luxury and comfort imaginable. A good night sleep is a way to make dogs a whole lot happier.

Here are some ways on how you can choose the perfect bed for your most beloved dog:

1. Look out for beds that can cater to your dog's size and weight.

Make sure that your bed of choice will provide a comfortable sleep to your dog because it fits just right. Can you afford to let your dog sleep on a bed that will eventually give in? Go for the one that meets your dog's weight and size needs.

If your dog is a lightweight breed, it is highly recommended that you go for the Teacup collection. This collection is perfect for dogs who weigh not more than 12 pounds. Choose from the Princess Pink and Sable Fur variations. Try anything from the Wrought Iron, Tuffet, and Mini Chase collections for your 15-pound pet. The choices from these collections range from two to three variants.

Dogs need any bed from the Corner, Barkley's Lounge, Ultra Chic, Chaise, Daybed, and Princess collections if it's a middleweight. The Corner collection has two options; Barkley's Lounge has five; Ultra Chic boasts of the Pink Ultra; Chaise sports has three types; the Daybed offers the Safari; and the Princess touts has the Pink Princess as its top variant.

If your furry companion counts as a heavyweight at 25 pounds or heavier, go for the Two Of A Kind and Sleigh collections. Two Of A Kind also features the Ocelot Fur and the Sable Fur Tete-Te beds, while Sleigh takes pride in its Vintage Mink and Chincilla variants.

Whatever type you choose to buy from these luxury and designer dog beds, keep in mind that your choice should accommodate your dog's weight and size so as not to compromise your dog's safety and comfort.

2. Go for the type that offers maximum comfort to your dog.

Remember that the main consideration is comfort. Thus, you should look for the type of dog bed which gives just that. Check out for these qualities:

* Cushions that are soft and comfortable

Your dog should have a fluffy comfort. Dogs can sleep comfortably using beds with these features.

* A solid frame

This feature ensures your dog's safety and security. Take into consideration the weight of your dog when looking for a bed. Check out the frame strength through a quick examination.

* A bed that goes well with any setting

Check out for the versatility of your dog's bed. Go for the type that works like a chameleon because of its versatile features. You should go for the bed that will complement its surroundings.

* Durability and quality of the fabrics

The fabric should last longer as expected. An examination of the fabric's material should be done. This step will give you a clue on how long the fabric will be of service to your dog.

3. Go for the one that is easy on the pocket.

Luxury can come cheap. Thus, you should look for a dog bed that offers a luxurious design at the smallest amount possible. Never pick an expensive bed. There are dog beds that cost as low as $29 without compromising luxury, style, durability, and comfort.
