Rating of the best dog beds for 2020

Four-legged friends quickly become family members, require communication and attention.
It is important to remember that not only good food and good walks are necessary for a pet, but also its own home place. This is the inviolable territory of the dog, which should be comfortable, reliable, cozy. The bed disciplines the animal and the owner shows that the pet, like everyone else, has an individual sleeping area.

How to choose the right bed for your dog

First of all, you should decide on the type of bed for a four-legged pet.

Litter

The type of resting place is a mattress, blanket, or flat mat. This is the simplest, most inexpensive option and is more suitable for medium to large dogs.

The selection criteria for this type include:

1. practicality in care;
2. sufficient density;
3. made of heat-saving material;
4. convenient folding for transportation.

Lounger

A convenient format for resting a pet, which is not just a bedding, but a frame in the form of rollers or sides. Some models are equipped with feet to help prevent drafts.

There are several types:

1. plastic;
2. soft.

Beddings or textile covers are placed on hard sunbeds. The convenience of a plastic lounger is the ability to wash it well, while maintaining its shape.

Baskets woven from natural materials such as vines or rattan are not particularly practical; dogs chew them quickly.

The frame of the basket can be made of wood or metal, and raised on the legs. Models are relevant in homes with cold floor coverings and drafts.

House

The type of a dog's own territory is a home kennel and is of two types:

1. closed;
2. open.

Some pets want to rest in solitude, not being under the gaze of their household. The houses are soft, cozy and warm, made of a frame and upholstery.

Models are more suitable for small breeds, an animal with a height of 25 centimeters will feel uncomfortable in a house. The house is original in its shape, but not very convenient in terms of disinfection and washing.

Material

Experts advise avoiding materials that quickly deteriorate, absorb dirt, and wipe.
These properties are possessed by models made of:

• chintz;
• corduroy;
• coarse calico;
• flock;
• matting.

These materials have a low abrasion cycle, according to a special Martindale scale.Such animal manipulations as digging with its paws, felting, biting and rubbing are measured in only a few thousand on a scale, and this is very unreliable. Wiping and washing up occurs quickly, the appearance deteriorates, and the strength is lost. An additional problem is stains, which are very difficult to remove from such coatings.
An alternative is a nylon base that is soft and non-absorbent. Excellent performance in cleaning and removing stains. An additional advantage of faux fur is the comfort for the pet.

Filling

Small and dense granules, balls provide decent softness. Experts advise avoiding natural fillers, which can later become a breeding ground for parasites.

Preferred filling options from:

• foam rubber;
• holofiber;
• padding polyester;
• synthetic fluff.

The size

There is a table of correspondence of the length of the dog nose-tail in relation to the size of the bed.

Length of nose-tail, cm	Lounger, size, cm
60 or less	S (15x47x64)
61-90	M (25x70x90)
91-120	L (26x97x117)

For large breeds, it is necessary to equip high and soft loungers. Structural features of large dogs: their joints should be provided with comfortable softness.

Colour

Dogs cannot distinguish between red and yellow-green. The shift in color gamut influenced their perception. As blue, they perceive all shades in the spectrum from violet to blue. Green, yellow colors - for dogs has a yellowish-gray background, and red is a deep gray. But their gray color has a lot of shades.

Top

The upper bedding is very often done with a zipper so that there is no difficulty in removing it for washing. However, it is important to remember that any pet is not averse to being naughty. It is necessary to ensure and check the safe location of dangerous protruding parts that could injure the dog when jumping and somersaults.
The anti-vandal option is intended for extremely active dogs that aggressively use their teeth and claws.

Selection errors

An important criterion is the compliance of the dog's height with the size of the bed.
Larger dogs require thicker and voluminous beds that do not squeeze.

Caring for a pet's sleeping place takes a lot of time, you should pay attention to the type of cleaning and the possibility of washing.

We should not forget about the character of the ward, perhaps he loves comfortable privacy.
