   Some dogs prefer to be completely covered when they sleep. For this type of pet the pita bed, which is essentially a doggie sleeping bag, would be the best choice. It completely encases the dog, leaving an opening for them to easily access to get in or out. No worries of them getting caught up in a throw blanket with this awesome bed!

   Another type of bed for the cuddling types are bolster beds. Bolster beds have a thick cushion of foam surrounding the bed, almost resembling a small sofa or loveseat. If your dog tends to always lean up against something (or someone) when they sleep, this may be the bed for them. Cozy comfort will surrounds them while they slumber.

   Nesting beds are great for snugglers also. Similar to the bolster bed, it encases your pet when they lie on the big, lofty pillow. These beds come with or without walls surrounding them. Total comfort.

   Orthopedic doge beds have even been created for our aging dogs. These beds support aching joints, alleviating pain while they rest. They come in many varieties including memory foam and box spring styles.

   You can even get travel beds or mats for the pet that's always on the go. They are perfect for sleepovers, camping, even a day at the park. They are compact and portable and will give your pet something familiar in an unfamiliar place which will often ease anxiety when away from home.

Tips & Warnings

• Ensuring the comfort of your dog while they sleep is another way of being a responsible dog owner and providing care for them. Would you like to sleep on the floor all the time? Of course not, so treat your dog to a new world of comfort, you might just get your own bed back!!
