Let Sleeping Dogs Lie (On Comfortable Beds)

Author: WannaPet

dog bedsTo an uninformed person, it may seem a little silly that dogs should be provided their own bed.  The days of dogs sleeping in their proverbial dog house should be put to rest.  Canines have sleep patterns that are comparable to humans and despite noises that they make, dogs also enter a stage of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) in their slumber.

With that said, there is an importance of dog beds for our furry friends.  Like people, dogs seek comfort in the place that they rest their head at night, and not just any old torn up laundry basket with old towels will do.  Of course, some people encourage dogs sleeping in their beds with them, so as to strengthen the animal-human bond, similar to attachment parenting.

    A dog should really have it’s own bed. Having a bed of it’s own helps the dog feel safe and secure, thus it can sleep better. A dog should not be disturbed when sleeping. Just as we don’t like being disturbed when we are sleeping.
