Author: pet lover, July 6, 2008
The next best thing to a big pay raise at work is having your furperson with you. All of use enjoy our dogs at home and we know the benefits of raising our pets. They help us relax, keep us company and take us out to exercise. Your boss doesn’t understand that it was your furperson that listen to your presentation 10 times before he heard the end result last Monday morning.
When you bring your pet to share in your work day, you what it to be comfortable and relaxed so everyone will enjoy the experience with you. Having a heated bed for your pet to lay on, calms anxiety of the new environment making the transition more enjoyable for all. There are different types of heated beds that can help with anxiety, sore muscles and health problem, radiant heat and electrical heating. Sense pets aren’t usually allowed to roam freely about the office as they are at home they might get a little restless, the heated bed gives a soothing feeling for a more relaxed companion.
A Heated Dog Bed in the Summer? Yes!

Many people believe that the only reason for a heated dog bed is to keep the pet warm. While this is one use, most heated beds are not designed, primarily, to keep your precious Fur Person snug in the winter. Most of the heated beds are not designed to keep an outside dog warm. They instead provide a low level therapeutic heat. Think about how much you dog enjoys lying in sun. A heated dog bed is similar to that. We use heating pads to help relieve pain from spains, strains, injuries and arthritis. I know I really appreciated a heating pad when I sprained my ankle. These beds provide a regulated heat that is perfect for your dog. This heat is great for working dogs to help sooth strained muscles and joints. As with people, heat helps relieve the pain of arthritis, hip dysplasia, surgery or simply old age. Just as a dog will follow the sun when lying in the house all year long, they will enjoy a properly warmed bed.
Please do not be tempted to provide your older or injured Fur Person a human heating pad. These pads are not regulated very well and are also allowed to become too hot for your dog. An older dog will often lie on such a pad too long and actually burn themselves. So if you want to provide your best friend with some added comfort consider a heated dog bed.
The Perfect Bed for your Perfect Pet
Author: WannaPet, April 23, 2008
Choosing the right bed your dog can be an arduous process for some. Being in tune with your pet’s needs is not unlike trying to parent an infant. They cannot speak for themselves and you must rely on your instincts to find which bed may suit them best.
There are four factors that you must consider when looking into purchasing a dog bed:
Dog Size
Obviously, the size of your dog will also determine the size of his/her bed. You wouldn’t place an adult in a toddler bed, so I suppose that trying to fit a pug into a bed the size of a shoebox wouldn’t suffice either.
State of Health
The dog’s health should determine whether you should get a heated bed or not. Also, some smaller canines are apt to have breathing problems.
Dog’s Preference of Space
If you find that your dog would rather nuzzle up under the coffee table rather than stretch out on the couch, then you’d know to get them a compact bed that will allow them to curl up comfortably. This could conflict with the dog’s size, but it’s up to you to gauge your pet’s level of comfort.
Style and Care
Like standard furniture, there are designer dog beds and lower-priced ones. These days, it’s easier to find a dog bed that won’t be an eyesore. Dog beds can also be purchased with extra sheets and pillows in mind. But these shouldn’t necessarily trump the ultimate goal of having reasonable sleeping space for your dog.
