Luxury and Designer Bedding, Heated and Cooled Beds, Orthopedic Beds, Dog Bed Furniture.
So many options–How to choose?

Dog beds fullfill an important role, to supply a comfortable spot for our precious pups to rest. Cute and trendy beds may capture our attention, but quality and function must be the first consideration. Your dog requires about 14-16 hours of rest a day. With this in mind, it’s fortunate that there are several types of doggie beds to choose from.

Want High Quality? Be Prepared to Pay More

The type of dog bed you buy will directly influence the price. For small or medium dog beds with no extra bells and whistles, you can expect to spend anywhere from 20-50 dollars. However, if you wish to have a heated, cooled or orthopedic bed, the price can go up to twice that amount. For the even more extravagant choices such as luxury or designer dog beds, you can literally spend hundreds of dollars if you so choose. These beds often come standard with wooden frames, pillows and blankets. When money is no object, the designer dog beds reign supreme. As is often the case, price and quality go hand in hand and although you can buy good beds fairly cheap, you need to pay attention to the quality of materials that go in to your pets’ furniture.

The Ideal Dog Bed will be Sturdy, Washable, and Comfortable

The last thing you want to do is purchase a pet bed only to have it tear up in a few weeks. When purchasing a bed be sure to check on things like double stitching and quality fabric. Other necessities are removable covers for easy washing and stain resistant material. Many beds will come with cheap or imitation fleece, so be sure to check the quality of the material and always look for double-sided fleece, as it is more durable and more comfortable. Most dog bedding deceives pet owners by saying the dog bed is washable when in fact, the cover is washable and the pillow is not. Choose a dog bed in which both the pillow and the case can be washed if the need arises.

Luxury bedding is bedding that is of higher quality, comfort, and style, and typically offers pet owners additional options that they would not typically have if purchasing their pet’s dog bed at the department store.

Luxury Dog Bedding Allows More Options

Luxury dog beds may be heated, cooled, orthopedic, or contained in furniture. Orthopedic dog bedding is great for older or disabled pets that need additional support for sore joints. Heated bedding is great for pet owners’ dogs that remain outside during the winter. Heated pet beds are usually similar to an electric blanket. There are several types of cooled beds, some are raised from the floor, some are filled with water and some are activated by other materials. The All Season Thermal Heating and Cooling Snuggly Sleeper Dog Bed (pictured below) is a popular choice. The unique award-winning interchangeable comfort system is the first of its kind. Use the Cool Bed III insert for summer cooling and the safe plush heating pillow insert for winter warmth.

Luxury bedding is also for the pet owner who is conscious of how the dog bed will look in their home. One of the newest trends is the dog bed that is contained in furniture. Don’t believe me? Check out www.terrificpets.com. This type of dog bed allows you to fold it back into the furniture as if it where never there.

A new trend among pet owners is the dog filled air bed. An air filled dog bed offers pet owners a longer lasting product which is also a much cleaner version of the typical dog beds found at Wal-Mart or Target. This type of dog bedding has several advantages for both the pet owner and the pet. Some pet owners may have their pets outside in which they are exposed to fleas and ticks. Non-air filled dog bedding allows fleas and ticks plenty of space to hide while the air bed does not. The dog filled air bed also limits allergens for pet owners as the cover is easy to wash and allergens can not go any deeper than the cover.

Bottom line, purchase a bed that is suited for your dog in regards to size and health. Both factors are important to the livelihood of your pet.

Comfort is what it’s all about when choosing a luxury dog bed for you pampered pup. But who said you couldn’t have fun and a styling image added to your luxury bedtime abode. My princess Midgey, spends a lot of time in her bed, so it better look and feel great. After all, she not only sleeps in her bed, it’s her little haven to relax in, chill, hoard her toys in, and generally lay around in and look adorable.

We humans appreciate the look and feel of a beautiful car (and how we look in that car). So too, do our pooches appreciate a beautiful bed that’s a ‘vehicle’ for the most comfortable nap imaginable, coupled with a look that other pooches will envy.

The Big Yellow Taxi Dog Bed is a doggie favorite, playful and fun with “NYC DOG” on the license plates. A ride in the ‘big yellow taxi” has never been more comfy–perfect for snoozing in the back seat.

For the sophisticated pup, the elegance of the Furcedes Car Bed is pure doggie decadence. With “LA DOG” on the plates, the luxurious Furcedes highlights our pooch’s refined taste (in cars and beds!).

Finally, my personal favorite (and Midgey’s), the 50’s Pink Cadillac. Your pampered princess will look and feel like a million dollars in this styling cruisemobile. So retro and so PINK! Has SPOILED on the license plate…and look at those way cool fins! This bed is for the Diva pup who craves to be noticed! The pink cadillac luxury dog bed comes with Midgey’s personal recommendation.

All three luxury doggie beds have plush interiors (and exteriors), high quality craftmanship, and zip off covers for easy cleaning.
