Dog Beds

Dog beds are the most popular type of pet beds. Dog beds are sold on the internet and in pet stores. Dog beds can cost as little as thirty dollars, and go as high as several hundred dollars for more upscale models. The most common type of dog bed is round. It normally resembles an oversized pillow, and comes in sizes that can accommodate a ten pound terrier or eighty pound lab. Popular round bed colors include cashew, sage and lavender, along with patterns such as chocolate or sierra stripe.

Another popular type of dog bed is a crate bed. Most commonly used by breeders, a crate bed is actually a mat which fits in the bottom of a cage or crate. Made from denims, Cordura and canvas, crate beds are extremely durable and relatively simple to clean if necessary. The Cordura provides a waterproof shell for the padding, which allows you to keep the crate or cage outdoors without fear of ruining your pet’s bedding. Most crate beds feature memory foam for ultimate comfort, and can be purchased for under fifty dollars. For the upscale dog owner, there are many leather bed options available. Ranging in price from one hundred to four hundred dollars,a leather bed is the ultimate luxury for a dog. Leather dog beds are filled with comfortable stuffing, and come in popular shapes including paws, bones, couches and standard beds.

The final, and possibly most eccentric, type of dog bed is a contemporary bed with a metal frame. Smaller than a twin bed, a metal framed dog bed perfectly resembles a human bed. Featuring a headboard and dust ruffles, these beds are available for a little more than one hundred dollars. These beds are best suited for homes in which dogs are just "another member of the family".
