How to choose the right kennel

Not only that, dog beds can also bring these benefits to dogs:

sense of security

Dogs instinctively look for warm and safe places, especially in winter. So are the stray dogs you have seen. Even in hot weather, they will never find their nests in cold and hard places. They will choose a place with a blanket or even just a piece of cardboard.

In other words, dogs don't really like direct contact with the ground.

Protect joints

If you lie on the ground for a long time, there will be a large area of hair loss at the elbow joint, which is very ugly.

This is caused by the long-term friction between the elbow joint and the ground, whether it is a large dog or a small dog. A suitable kennel can solve this problem perfectly.

Moreover, it is normal for older dogs to suffer from various joint diseases, and the dog bed can effectively alleviate the pain caused by joint diseases.

Dogs with hip joint diseases also need a suitable dog bed.

Improve mood

Nowadays, more and more dogs suffer from separation anxiety.

A warm dog bed can warm the hearts of these sick dogs instead of the owner. Of course, the premise is not to break the bed.

In today's article, apart from talking about the benefits of dog beds, zippers also want to show you the classification of dog beds. Yes, there are many kinds of dog beds.

Standard dog bed

These dog beds are common, usually round and rectangular. The outer fabric of this dog bed is usually flannel, artificial suede, denim and so on. It feels comfortable and the dog is more comfortable to lie down.

Standard dog beds are suitable for most dogs, but are not recommended for dogs with joint problems.

Nest dog bed

As the name implies, this kind of dog bed is a kennel.

In fact, it is not much different from the standard dog bed, but when the dog enters this dog bed, those towering edges will better protect the dog's limbs and give the dog a warmer and safer feeling.

Recommended for dogs with insecurity and separation anxiety, and dogs who like to huddle when sleeping.

Plush dog bed

Dog beds made of all kinds of plush are warmer and softer.

This kind of bed is more suitable for elderly dogs, because the thermal insulation ability of elderly dogs is poor. Also suitable for small short-haired dogs.

Special dog bed

This bed is not only suitable for dogs with joint diseases, but also suitable for healthy dogs.

Choosing high-quality foam can provide extra support for the dog's body and reduce joint wear. High-end brands will even recover after the dog leaves the bed, which is what we often call "memory cotton".

Dog bed in the nest

Don't buy it wrong when you are in Haitao. This kind of dog bed is actually not available at home.

As we all know, many families abroad like to keep dogs in their own yards, so they need a dog bed in their kennel, so this kind of dog bed was born. It is dirt-resistant, easy to clean and light in weight, but it also has many shortcomings, only thicker than a blanket, which also leads to its poor warm-keeping ability.

Raise the dog bed

More and more manufacturers began to produce this kind of dog bed.

Its materials are changeable, such as cotton, cloth, wood, metal, plastic and so on. This kind of dog bed has many advantages. Avoid the direct contact between dogs and the ground, keep the ground clean, and let dogs feel what is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is more suitable for dogs living in the south.

Of course, it is not suitable for dogs with joint diseases and dogs with back problems, such as sausages.

In fact, there is a better substitute, which is this kind of bed for kindergarten children, and the price is more close to the people than the camp bed.

House-shaped dog bed

This kind of dog bed is not recommended by any dog breed.

From the human point of view, it is quite fulfilling to see a dog coming in and out of such a nest every day. After all, I bought the house for the dog myself.

But from the dog's point of view, this house-shaped kennel is meaningless to dogs in most places. Dogs are warmer than people, so they don't need such a small space to keep warm.
