Your dog is a member of your family, one that gives undying love and devotion. Naturally, you want to treat him well, and one way to show him you appreciate his faithfulness is by getting him the perfect dog bed.

Dogs sleep over half of their lifespan. Different breeds of dogs require different sleep patterns, with larger dogs such as mastiffs and St. Bernard's sleeping as much as 16 hours per day. With sleep being such an important part of their life, it is understandable that you, as the owner, will want to make that sleep as comfortable as possible. A dog bed will do just that for your beloved pet.

Here are some tips to follow when shopping to ensure that you select just the right dog bed:

• Consider the size of your dog. Dogs enjoy the feeling of being cuddled, so it is important to choose a bed that will envelop them. Pet beds frequently have raised sidewalls or curved designs for this purpose. Since beds come in many varied sizes, it will be an easy matter to match one with your dog's needs. Larger dogs also weigh more than smaller dogs, and some beds may just not be the right choice if they stand the danger of collapsing under the larger dog's bulk.

• Consider the age of your dog. Puppies and adolescent dogs have a great deal of energy and vigor so will be able to maneuver raised beds easily. Older dogs may be arthritic and find it more difficult to climb up and into a bed. Fortunately, dog beds are designed in many fashions, and cushioned beds that lie directly on the floor will be quite comfortable. For the older pet, heated and orthopedic beds are available as well to soothe and comfort the aching joints that commonly afflict dogs of advanced age.

• Consider the space in your home. Most dog beds come in many different styles, with some taking up more room than others. Designer dog beds may be fashioned as actual beds with headboards and cushions, supported by legs or on a platform. They can measure over 25 inches long and 18 inches wide for standard size up to 50 inches long and 40 inches wide for extra large sizes.

• Consider your budget for a dog bed. To meet the needs of all customers, dog beds also come in a wide range of prices. While you may wish that you were able to purchase a designer wrought iron bed frame and cushion for your canine, a price tag of over $150.00 may prohibit you from carrying through with the purchase. Comfortable and attractive dog beds for considerably less can still say, "you are loved".

Remember that your beloved pooch will not care how much you spent on the dog bed, or how long you shopped to find the perfect one. You will rest easier knowing that your pet will sense that you love him enough to ensure his comfort and good sleeping habits.
