Are designer dog beds really good for your dog? Perhaps, but not all are created equal.
You must remember that the dog bed in question is meant for your loving companion and not necessarily made to fit in with your decor. Most people make the mistake of purchasing something that will fit into a given space and look fabulous in a modern setting but do nothing for the dog's comfort. Who is the designer dog beds for again?
Yup, your dog.
Before purchasing a designer dog bed, you should be asking yourself these 6 questions.
1)Where does my dog sleep now?
The proper way of choosing a designer dog bed is to observe your dog's habits. If he sleeps on the floor in the kitchen, will you place a huge sofa bed or dog couch that is made of Chanel. No, you need to get something comfortable that is functional.
2)How old is my dog again?
If your dog is aging, you will need an orthopedic dog bed. Most designer dog beds do not offer any orthopedic qualities for your dog.
3)How long do I want this bed to last?
If you look around, beds that cost a fortune, generally don't offer durable fabrics.
4)Does my dog have any ailments?
If your dog has any issues at all with hip dysplasia, or abnormal formation, then this type of bed will not work for you.
5)How much can I really afford to spend?
Most designer beds cost much more then are necessary.
6)Think of your dog?
Finally, think of your dog first.
