If the dog appeared in your house, it means that she should have his own place - a cozy corner where you can relax after a walk, bother your favorite toy or just to be in solitude. And it is regardless of whether the pet is allowed to lie on the sofa or sleep with the owner in bed.
Remember, no matter how hard you try to choose your four-legged friend, the dog should have a place, and the place should be inviolable. If the so-called "rug", "bedding" or "mattress" was used as definition of a personal location, a piece of an old blanket, a blanket, a pillowcase with a foam rubber, was recently popular for dogs for dogs. They are durable and have a rather attractive appearance. True, the price of these accessories is sometimes overestimated, but if you really want to pamper your pet, you can make a layman and independently.
Choose furniture for ... dogs
Today, for our four-legged friends, there is a huge selection of furniture - even the most capricious owner must necessarily take something. Modern fashion offers the following layout options for dogs:
- Mattress. The cheapest option that came to us from the distant past, however, with the very difference that today the latest technologies are used for making mattresses. If it is a soft and durable fabric with an anti-claw effect, then inside - holofiber. In addition, today all the mattresses are stamped - they do not get down during washing. Due to the fact that there is a large dimension series, the mattress can be chosen for the dog of any breed. You can use as an independent unit, and it is possible as a soft coating in the dog's basket.
- Sunbed. Budget variant of the design of a dog place. Lena for dogs, photos of which can be seen below - this is only a small toliary of the very diversity. Performed on metallic or on a wooden frame. Some models have special legs - protection against drafts. These sun beds can be purchased not only by replaceable covers - they can be changed as contaminated or depending on the time of year, but also various accessories - pillows and bedspreads. Recently, it is very fashionable to perform sun beds in the form of cars, airplanes, ships.
- House. There are two species: closed and semi-closed. So that they did not speak, but the dogs love privacy and with delight perceive the booth as their personal place. But if for rural dogs a booth is usual and even trite, then for urban dogs that live in apartments - luxury. It is for such pesters and houses created. Basically, they are made of wood or have a wooden frame, and on top are covered with a soft cloth or skin. The houses have a diverse appearance - from ordinary courtyard booth to a miniature "White House". Cheaper options are made of cardboard and plush. By the way, experts claim that the correctly chosen pet for a pet can be an interior addition.
- Basket. Such sun beds today exist two species - plastic and wicker. Not used in natural form - on the bottom of the basket you need to lay a mattress or litter (the softer - the better).
- Sofa. A real luxury sofa, only made in a reduced form - this novelty has become popular not so long ago. Such sofas are manufactured exactly along the same technology as for people - frame, filler, furniture fabric as upholstery. You can order separate pads, removable covers, a blanket to the sofa.
- Crib. Analog Sofa. Many dog \u200b\u200blovers love the pet is near even at night - the crib will help in this. It is manufactured on the same technology as the beds for people - a metal or wooden frame, a mattress, a handicraft with a furniture cloth, a pillow (or roller instead of it), a blanket.
What is your dog lying?
To begin with, before going to the pet shop, it is worth finding out what exactly your dog needs. Remember that your pet is absolutely anyway, what the price will be at the mattress or booths that you bring home. Believe me, the dogs do not follow the fashion and do not brag about it on a walk with relatives.
What is the dog?
- The place should be reliable - a kind of refuge from the outside world.
- The place must be comfortable - the dogs, regardless of the breed, size and age, are very loved to not sleep on something soft and cozy.
- The place must correspond to the size of the dog - not large, but not small.
And everything else is the whims of the owner. That is why count only on your wallet - you want a pink sofa with rhinestones - buy (as a last resort - try to make it yourself).
How to solve which laying to purchase
Before buying a bed for large dogs, remember that heavy breeds such as dog, mastiff, Irish wolfhound, must lie on something very soft. And this is not a whim, but the necessity, since this requires the joints of animals. The ideal solution for such breeds will be sofas and cribs.
If you have a mid-size dog, like bull terrier, Mittelshnuzer, American Staffordshire Terrier, then any beds are suitable for these guys - from mattresses to the sofas.
But the Lena for a little dog - Toy Terrier, Pug, Pekingese, must be sure to be on the hill - draft for them are very harmful, sometimes even dangerous. For small dogs, the best solution will be baskets, sun beds, cribs.
If you are the owner of a Chinese crested, Mexican naked or Peruvian naked dog, then these breeds are more like a house. By the way, it is positive about the houses and dogs of the Norny breeds - dachshunds, focister, Jack Russell Terriers.
What to pay attention to the pet store
- Quality. Even the most beautiful bed, possessing the low quality of the materials, of which is made, will not please you for a long time. Remember that the dog's place should be wear-resistant and easy to care.
- Removable covers. Any layer will quickly pollute - regardless of how often you are bathing your pet. By purchasing a place for the dog, be sure to check if there are removable covers at Lena, as well as the ability to recall them. Covers should be easily removed and stacked, as well as quickly dry.
- Coating. Choosing a Lena Pay attention to the coating - it should be from natural materials, since many dogs from synthetics arise allergies, and the long-haired electrification of wool also occurs.
- The size. Measure exactly your pet, so that he does not have to crawl on too little laying.
How to choose a laying size
On the "normal" lay a dog should be placed if it will even extend the paws. To determine the size - length, you need to measure the dog - not only in the withers, but also from the tip of the nose to the tail. You need to add from 5 to 15 centimeters to the resulting size if you purchase a bed, or from 20 to 30 centimeters if you stayed on the mattress.
But to determine the width, you need to measure the height from the legs to the cereal of the dog sleeping on the side - this value must be multiplied by two - it will be the most optimal size for the width of the bed.
Household producers have come up with their classification, thanks to which the "breed" houses appeared - for example, for dachshunds - long, similar to mink.
Where to go shopping
Lenhing for dogs can be used in any pet store. Specialists argue that in online stores the choice is much more.
In addition, the Lenja (crib, sofa) can be ordered at the furniture factory or from specialized manufacturers - only so you get the original and exotic thing.
You can buy and used in the use of the thing - there is nothing galloping in this, just ask what happened to the former owner of the Lena - the owner just decided to change the furniture or his pet died. If from old age or as a result of an accident, then nothing terrible - carefully disinfected the laying and perform treatment from parasites - and that's it. But if the dog fell as a result of infectious disease - to give up such a purchase.
There is another way to buy a beautiful layman - make it yourself. And let you not work as well as professionals, the main thing is that it will be made from a pure heart for a favorite four-legged friend.
