Designer Dog Beds

"Specially Designed Beds For Our
Dogs - Whatever Next?"

There was a time when our dogs where happy with a couple of dog blankets thrown into a cardboard box!

Today, however, it's an entirely different story - novelty and designer dog beds are sold almost everywhere.

Our Cocker Spaniels don't need a designer bed; they simply need a warm, cosy, place to sleep.

We love our dogs and we love to pamper them and that's why we buy designer beds - we're indulging ourselves as well as our pets.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that a designer beds don't offer the protection and comfort your pet needs - they do.

Many of these dog beds are very well made, using quality materials, and offer a high level of luxury and comfort for your dog, but they can be expensive!

If you're on a tight budget, don't worry, there are many reasonably priced dog beds available - you just need to shop around to get the best deal.

Styles Of Designer Dog Beds

If you decide you'd like to indulge your Cocker Spaniel (and yourself!) and buy a designer dog bed, your choice is wide - you'll find designer beds in many different styles and sizes, and covered in various luxury (and novelty) materials and trimmings.

If you want to pamper your pooch, you can choose from dog beds covered in leopard print, zebra-striped, and fake animal furs.

Choose from baskets covered in luxury fabrics with padded, removable cushions, and perhaps a ribbon or two, to miniature four-poster dog beds.

Those designed for little 'princesses' are typically sugary pink and white in colour, although there are equivalents available for the little 'prince' - much less pink and fluffy, more 'macho' but still luxurious - designed to be fit more for a king than a queen.

You'll find dog beds shaped like Cinderella's carriage, racing cars, and baby carriages - complete with pink ribbons - the list is endless for the creative mind!

There are even dog beds designed to look just like ours, complete with headboard and pillows!

And......,you can also buy designer dog beds styled to match your own furniture!

These dog beds look just like a piece of furniture - an armchair, a sofa, a side table or a small cabinet - they're so cleverly disguised, you'd never know they were dog beds!

Whichever you choose, it's advisable to consider a few practicalities of buying a dog bed before making your choice, such as;

• How much can you afford to spend?
• Does your dog like to chew? If he does, it may be inadvisable to buy a fabric bed but choose instead a metal or a plastic bed that he can chew without causing too much damage.
• Check that any cushions or pillows are removable and washable to allow you to keep your dog's sleeping area clean - even better if it's machine-washable!
• If you intend to travel with your pet, is the bed suitable?
• Make sure you buy the right size of dog bed for your pet.
• Do you want to match your dog's bed with your home furnishings?

More tips for choosing dog beds and how to ensure you buy the correct size of bed for your dog.

At the end of the day, the choice of designer dog beds is yours - the main aim is to ensure your dog is warm and comfortable and sleeps soundly, and in his own bed, not yours!

If funds are low, don't be persuaded into buying a designer bed that you can't afford.

Your Cocker Spaniel will be just as happy in a simple dog bed or on a cushion or pillow with a couple of dog blankets thrown in for comfort!
