There are dog beds, and then there is what would probably be more properly called dog bedding. Bedding would be not just the accessories like blankets and throws, but also beds that change shape, sometimes behaving almost like blankets, and sometimes resembling real discernible beds. Dogs are often content to sleep wherever they feel comfortable, whether it's at the foot of your own bed, on the couch, or on a layer of several towels in the corner. But if you are their human friend, then you may enjoy getting them one of the quality dog beds and then adding various accessories, including special bedding, for them.
Some bedding for dogs is as simple as a bunch of blankets. …show more content…
Some specially created blankets may have inserts for heating pads, or might be designed to wrap and towel off the dog after a bath.
Even dog beds with frames, like the canopy bed made by Lulu Jane, a subsidiary of Orrville Pet Products, still often need dog bedding to make them complete. This luxury dog bed needs the dog owner to insert a human-sized pillow into the base of the frame, to serve as the "mattress" of the canopy bed. So while the company creates the elaborate crowned frame of the basic bed, it needs extra bedding before the dog is able to sleep there.
Other dog bedding serves a functional purpose other than just giving the dog something to lie on. For example, the Scottish dog supplies company, Tuffies, makes a cover for their beds that can wick away moisture, so that a wet dog can stay lying on a fairly dry cover and not be soggy and damp as it's drying off. There are many different categories of bedding, and many bed accessories that accompany them. Whether you're looking at simple blankets or quite elaborate beds and bedding setups, you have countless options for making your dog's sleeping arrangements
