The Best Dog Beds – Review & Buying Guide in 2018
Dogs are considered man’s best friend, or in some case’s woman’s best friend. Either way it goes a dog is a great companion for most anybody. Our dog’s are like our children, except they have four legs and fur. Usually they are quieter than our human children and drool less for the most part. They are what many consider as their fur babies. We treat them like another member of our family, feed them high quality food, give them exercise and in return they give us their unconditional love, loyalty and a life long friendship that will always remain with us even after they are gone.
Just like us humans, dogs need quality things in their lives to be happy, healthy, and energetic. Without these quality items their quality of life is no good, they have many health problems, and are just there. We all want what is best for our dogs and a quality bed should be included in the list of things we do and give our pets.
There are many different dog beds out on the market. So many options to choose from and search through the task can be overbearing at best leaving you to settle with what you may find on page two or three. Let’s face it, who has the time to search through 100’s of pages of dog beds to find the best one for your best friend? Not many people do, so we took away a few hours of research to provide you with a list of dog beds with at least one that is perfect for you, your pet and your home décor.
Before we jump to the list, many of us wonder exactly what size bed is appropriate for our dogs without being too small or to big. To find out which bed size is the correct size, measure your dog from nose to the end of his/her rump. Add at least 6 more inches to that length and you should have a perfect sized bed for your dog. That is a general rule for finding the perfect bed size, however, you know your dog and how they sleep and will be better at deciding if you need to reduce the inches in the length of the bed or increase them more depending on how your pet sleeps.
On this page you will find a list of 30 of the best dog beds in no particular order. I will even give you a price range. The price range is because the price of the bed will depend on the size of the bed and most of the time on the color option you choose. You are sure to find the perfect bed for your dog in this list.
