We all want our dogs to be comfortable and happy! Dogs are part of our family and need to have their own dog chew resistant, comfortable dog beds. By giving your dog his own space with a supportive, high-quality dog bed allows for him to have alone time in comfort.

Choosing the right dog bed for your dog may seem daunting because there are so many to choose from today. Understanding how size, age, and health needs come into play when choosing a dog bed for your furry best friend is important.

Rather than opting for a low-quality dog bed, a better option is a high-quality  chew resistant dog bed that cannot be destroyed. No matter how big or small your puppy is, you’ve probably had to deal with destructive chewing during puppyhood, and possibly during adulthood from anxiety or boredom.


What makes a good dog bed?

Depending on the breed, some chew resistant dog beds do better with some breeds, more so than others. So it’s up to you to find the best chew resistant dog beds. Dog beds come in all shapes and sizes and are made from different materials, some of which are more durable and supportive than others. Memory foam beds offer plenty of support and comfort and are generally available in numerous sizes for all dog breeds.

The best dog chew resistant dog bed will feature gel-infused memory foam for a good night’s rest. Chew resistant dog bed brands today will provide an extensive range of pet dog bed styles, sizes, and designs with cooling gel and memory foam to provide adequate support for the numerous health conditions in dogs.  Gel-infused memory foam helps with the following conditions:

  • Achy joints
  • Elbow dysplasia
  • Hip dysplasia
  • Muscle disorders
  • Muscle or tendon trauma
  • Joint disorders
  • Bone disorders
  • Bone fractures

Choosing the correct size dog bed

When looking for the right sized dog bed, you’ll need to measure your dog when they’re lying down so as to get the right measurements. That means limbs, head, ears, and other body parts, including his tail, need to remain comfortably inside the dog bed. If the bed is too small, it won’t be a good fit, and your dog will not be comfortable.


Here’s the take on dog bed sizing

It’s extremely important to choose the correct dog bed size for your dog. There are many dog bed sizes to suit all dog breeds. When choosing a chew resistant dog bed for your dog, you’ll need to understand what your dog’s needs are. Here are some tips on how to shop for a dog bed:

  • Dog bed sizes start with x-small and may measure up to XX-large (48” L) for those super large and giant-sized dog breeds.
  • Look at how much you want to spend.
  • Consider the quality of the dog bed and your dog’s needs.
  • Measure your dog’s height correctly to calculate the correct dog bed size for your own dog.
  • Large dog breeds that are heavier will need more support with extra-cushioning
  • Dog breeds like the Greyhound,  Great Dane, or Whippet or dogs that have just had surgery will also need extra cushioning for extra musculoskeletal support.
  • Senior dogs will also need extra cushioning, and an orthopedic dog bed sofa for extra support, since they will spend more time sleeping, and may also have more joint and hip issues.

Post-surgery

After surgery or during an illness, your dog will spend plenty of time lying down and sleeping, while recovering. In addition, dog parents need to recognize that not any dog bed will provide the right amount of comfort and support, while dogs are undergoing  treatment. You’ll need to consider dog beds that offer the best support and comfort possible for your furry best friend. Watch how your dog sleeps, and understand his sleep habits.


Puppyhood Support for Chewing

Chew resistant dog beds should be made from tough ballistic nylon and sewn with Kevlar thread for superior durability. Dogs bed covers should also be machine washable, made in the USA, and manufactured to provide all dogs with uttermost comfort and support. They should also withstand a dog’s chewing and digging.

When purchasing a chew resistant dog bed for large dog breeds, you’ll need to take into account that a high-quality dog bed needs to fully support a dog’s weight, be large enough for your dog to sleep comfortably in, and also withstand destructive chewing or digging, as well as general wear and tear.


Why do dogs chew beds?

Unfortunately, dogs sometimes chew up dog beds with  destructive chewing or digging. In many cases, this will happen during puppyhood. Dogs that are bored, anxious, depressed, or that may have behavioral issues may also take to destroying a dog bed. Dogs that are neglectedmay also turn to destructive behaviors.

Understanding the nature of behavior problems is important so that a training or treatment program can be developed specifically for your dog. There are also numerous health problems associated with behavioral problems. If your dog is having behavioral issues, consult with your veterinarian to get help and support.
