Small dogs develop likes and dislikes when it comes to where and how they sleep, just like we do. You are the best judge on what your dog might like. The following tips from PetFrenzy are other features you may want to consider :
Even small dogs need a bed that is roomy enough to allow them to lie flat, completely stretched out, without hanging off the bed. If you take note of the exact dimensions of a bed and compare it to the size of your dog, you should have no trouble finding the right size in our selection of small dog beds.
Some dogs are prone to joint aches and pains or arthritis when they get older. If you live in a cold-climate region, there are small dog beds available that are heated dog beds and would provide extra comfort for your dog. We also carry large dog beds that are heated.
Likewise, if you live in a hot-weather climate, you might want to consider one of our small dog beds that act as dog cooling beds. We also carry small dog beds for all seasons that provide heat in the winter and coolness in the summer.
If you're looking for one of the more stylish or unique dog beds available, PetFrenzy offers a variety of attractive, furniture-grade Wooden Dog Beds that may compliment your decor. Or, for the lastest in designer dog beds see our Luxury Dog Beds. In this collection of fancy dog beds you'll find everything from pink dog beds to leopard dog beds and other popular wild animal prints.
If you live in a drafty home you might want to consider one of our small dog beds that are raised off the floor - especially if your little dog has very short hair. Raised dog beds are comfortable and they are also quite practical. Several of our raised dog beds have frames made of PVC plastic tubing. PVC plastic is extra tough, and can withstand being outdoors because it absolutely will not rust. PVC dog beds, or plastic dog beds, are also chew proof dog beds. Bottom line: when it comes to durable dog beds you can't go wrong with one of our raised dog beds.
To help prevent flea and tick infestation, some small dog beds are filled with cedar chips. However, some people and some dogs are allergic to Cedar Dog Beds. When shopping for small dog beds, it's a good idea to find out what type of filling is inside before you buy one.
If you want to take your dog along on vacation with you, most small dog beds can be easily transported. However, if you are planning to travel with your dog and intend to stay at a hotel or motel, be sure to find out two very important things. First you'll need to find out if the hotel/motel allows dogs...but don't stop there.
You'll also want to find out if there are weight restrictions because even though an establishment allows dogs, it is not uncommon to find that there is a maximum weight limit. Even though you have a small dog you should double check the weight limit to avoid any unpleasant surprises while you are away on vacation.
