Train your dog properly to excrete to avoid polluting the dog bed

Every owner has different ways of raising their dog. Some owners prefer to let their dogs sleep in a crate, so naturally, a dog bed is not needed. Meanwhile, some owners are more inclined to let their dogs sleep in a dog bed, but compared to a crate, there are more considerations when letting dogs sleep in a dog bed. So what are the considerations for using a dog bed? Let's discuss together.

Compared to a crate, dog beds are softer, so dogs may sleep more comfortably. Additionally, dog beds provide better warmth and can prevent the dog's abdomen from getting cold. After discussing the advantages, let's talk about the precautions when using a dog bed.

1. Choose a dog bed of the appropriate size: This is the most fundamental issue. You must pick a suitable bed for your dog. It’s obviously unrealistic to make a large dog curl up in a small dog bed.

2. Place the dog bed in a quiet location: Dogs are very alert, and they spend most of their time in light sleep. So most sleeping dogs will instantly wake up when they hear noises. To ensure your dog gets good rest, try to place the dog bed in a quiet area with less human traffic.

3. Train the dog to excrete properly: A dog bed is not like a crate where dogs can relieve themselves inside. If you want your dog to sleep in a dog bed, you definitely need to train the dog for fixed point excretion.

4. Be sure to clean the bedding regularly: This is an extremely important task, and some owners tend to neglect it. However, failing to clean the bedding long-term often causes skin infections in dogs. Therefore, for your dog's health, be sure to clean the dog bed regularly. If the sun is good, you can take the dog bed outside to air and disinfect it simply.

5. Provide your dog with teeth grinding tools: Some dogs chew randomly when they need to grind their teeth, and if they chew the dog bed, it is easy for them to accidentally ingest parts of it. This is a concern that must be addressed.
