Can pet dogs sleep with people?

Many owners usually let their dogs sleep on the bed, especially in winter, which can keep them warm and serve as pillows. But some owners are more resistant to dogs sleeping in bed. Whether dogs can be put on the bed has been discussed by dog owners, and even pet experts will always disagree. Some owners have always advocated not sleeping with dogs. First, it will aggravate the dog's bad behavior, and second, it will lead to the owner's illness. But more experts and doctors believe that as long as the owner and the dog are healthy, sleeping together will not bring too many negative effects.

1. Does sleeping with dogs cause health problems? Many owners don't let dogs sleep in the bed. The most important reason is that dogs will have parasites, bacteria and fungi, and sleeping together will increase the risk of illness of their owners. However, as mentioned at the beginning, if the owner usually gives the dog an insect repellent bath and takes it to the physical examination regularly, then there is no need to worry too much about the dog infecting the owner.

Of course, just in case, the owner had better clean the bedding regularly. Whether the dog sleeps in the bed or not, there will be parasites and bacteria in your sheets and quilts, so washing bedding more is good for both the owner and the dog.

Second, can children sleep with dogs? Many families will choose to keep a dog to accompany their children. If properly trained, dogs and children will become good friends, and dogs can also help parents take care of their children. Then these owners will also face this problem. Can dogs sleep with children? Although we agree that adult owners sleep with dogs, it is not recommended that children under 6 sleep with dogs.

Children often don't know the weight, what the responsibility is, and how to take care of dogs. Before the two sides are used to it, it is best to have the supervision of the owner when they are in a space. Before the age of 6, children may unconsciously hurt the dog while sleeping, such as pulling the dog's tail and suddenly hitting the dog hard. If a dog is hit in his sleep, he is likely to fall into fear and eventually attack.

So the owner had better wait for the child to grow up before allowing him to sleep with the dog. But this is not against letting dogs get close to children. Studies have shown that children's contact with dogs at an early age can help reduce the possibility of children's allergies, but only if children are supervised by adults when they are with dogs.
