Fur Person Dog Beds

  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.
