New Types of Dog Bedding

Some types of dog beds might more properly be called dog bedding, because they straddle the categories of bed and bedding. On the one side, you have obvious bedding like throws or blankets, and on the other there are those items that have pretty clearly defined parameters as beds. But in between, you’ll find the sorts of dog supplies that pull in some qualities from both categories, either adding interesting accessories or making the bed itself into something whose shape can change depending on the need.

Some bedding for dogs is as simple as a bunch of blankets. If that’s the sort of bed your dog likes, then you can get these at places like the Salvation Army or other second hand stores. You don’t necessarily have to get elaborate with them, especially if you use them mainly to line the dog’s crate or to cover furniture. Yet many websites or stores where there are dog beds for sale will also have blankets, throws, and variations on them, designed especially for your dog. Some specially created blankets may have inserts for heating pads, or might be designed to wrap and towel off the dog after a bath.

But you can also buy custom dog beds that sit halfway between the definition of beds and dog bedding. These can come in fairly flat mat form, but then you have a product like the Faux Fur Trundle Bed, found at places like the Glamour Dog (www.glamourdog.com) website. This is a pet bed that is close to sphere-shaped, with a large hole in the top that allows your dog to burrow inside to snuggle and sleep if it wants, making itself a little nest. Or the bed can be flattened out so the dog can sleep on top of a plush double layer.

Some special designs of dog bedding will be functional and others will just be ornamental. You probably won’t find a practical use for the feather boa that decorates the edges of a dog bed tent, yet the cover on the bed inside it might be able to wick moisture away so a wet dog won’t stay that way. Dog bed furniture will come with different designs and different types of bedding. As long as your dog is comfortable and you’re happy with the look and function of the bed, the different bedding configurations aren’t ultimately that important.
