Advantages and Construction of Waterproof Dog Beds

It's an act of love to choose a bed for your dog. Many dog owners consider luxury first when picking out the right bed for their dog, but practicality should be an important consideration. Waterproof dog beds offer a great blend of comfort and practicality for any dog and dog owner.

Waterproof dog beds offer many advantages for both owners and dogs. They're easy to clean - in most cases, you can just wipe off any dirt or mud. If the bed is more heavily soiled, most waterproof dog beds have removable covers that you can just toss in the washing machine. If your dog spends time outside, you can put a waterproof dog bed outdoors for his comfort and not concern yourself with it getting wet and dirty. A waterproof dog bed is relatively weatherproof, so you don't have to worry about it getting waterlogged and mildewed, making it better and more hygienic for your dog.

In addition, waterproof dog beds are a good choice for young puppies and older dogs that have become incontinent. If your dog has an accident and soils the bed, you can simply wipe it clean and disinfect it. There's no need to worry about the urine penetrating the mattress, which virtually eliminates the possibility of urine and dirty dog odor.

Your dog's bed is his comfort place, the spot he runs for when he's upset or frightened. That means he'll often end up bolting for his bed immediately after bath time - or if you're unlucky, in the middle of his bath, covered with suds and dripping wet. It's just another time you'll be happy you chose a dog bed that resists or repels water.

Styles of Waterproof Dog Beds

You can purchase a waterproof dog bed in just about any style. They come with round, oval, square or rectangular cushions and many even include memory foam dog mattresses with waterproof covers. Some are plain and inexpensive while others look like the type of designer dog bed you'd expect for a Beverly Hills dog. They may have any kind of mattress, including memory foam dog mattresses, mattresses filled with polyester fiber, gel foam mattresses or mattresses filled with polyester beads that conform to your dog's body contours.

In addition, you'll find that waterproof dog beds come in a wide range of colors and patterns, which won't matter to your dog but can allow you to choose a dog bed that suits your home decor to some extent. Whether you want to pamper your poodle princess with a pink luxury bed or give your schnauzer a manly dog bed in hunter plaid, you'll find waterproof dog beds to suit.

Getting Your Dog Used to His New Bed

While your dog may not care about the color of his new bed, there is one thing that he will care about - the way it smells. When you get the dog bed home, wash it down with disinfectant and let it air, then rub the clean bed down with one of this dog blankets - preferable one that he's slept with for a few nights. That will transfer his own scent to the new bed and help him accept it more quickly and easily.

Waterproof dog beds are a good investment. The right one will last for years and make life more comfortable and easier for both you and your dog.
