By Chris Fairfax, Legal Director of independent UK Pet Insurance providers, Animal Friends Insurance As someone who shares his home with three Birmans and two Persians I know only too well that cats believe they are above most things.

Consider the health, age and size of your dog when buying a dog bed |
|
|
How often do we take into account the fact that pets can also suffer from arthritis and experience other acute bone & muscle problems, just like we humans, which can make some beds uncomfortable. Have you ever thought of buying one to make your pet feel comfortable? One important thing you should consider is the health and age of your dog. You may find memory foam dog beds a tad expensive as compared to standard dog beds, but the money spent is worth it since they are a comfortable option for your dog to relax and sleep, particularly if he or she is older or sick. Many memory foam mattress makers also manufacture dog beds. Check with your dealer, or find out from your local pet supplies outlet about them. You can easily buy them online. Memory foam dog beds won’t cost you much if you are ready to bargain. However, if you are on a rather tight budget and your dog is healthy and young you can go for a bed that is big enough if not elegant or attractive. Just imagine how you will feel if you are made to sleep in a bay-sized bed. It wouldn’t be a very comfortable feeling. Same thing can happen to your dog and he or she will get irritated. So, look for a dog bed which is big enough so than your pet – even if it grows - can easily stretch out & roll around in it. There are some things that you cannot prolong if you indeed care for your dog – getting dog bed and of course insurance!
