Do you have a dog that suffers from anxiety? If so, you may be looking for a way to help them feel safe and calm. Calming dog beds are an excellent option for dogs that suffer from anxiety, and they work by providing your pet with a sense of security. In this blog post, we will discuss how calming dog beds work and why they are effective. We will also provide tips on how to choose the best bed for your furry friend!

Anxiety in dogs can be caused by a variety of factors, including separation anxiety, thunderstorms, fireworks, and more. If your dog is suffering from anxiety, you may notice them pacing, panting, whining, or hiding. They may also have trouble sleeping or lose their appetite. These symptoms can be stressful for both you and your dog.

It's a great idea to have calming dog beds around the house in case your pup starts worrying or being nervous. If you're worried about fireworks, thunderstorms and other noisy events that can't always be avoided then this could help them sleep through it all! 

What are some of the benefits of calming dog beds?

The calming dog bed is an excellent way to help your pup relax. The soft furnishings of this type can offer them safety and comfort when they need it most, so these beds should be seen as something more than just a pet accessory. There are many benefits that come along with having one in the home including:

  • Calming effect due to the high side walls, this replicates a dog burrow
  • Reduce joint pain, particularly in older dogs
  • Comfy cushions helping dogs sleep for longer
  • Washable covers so that you can easily remove if the dog gets the bed wet
  • Durable and long lasting so you don't need to replace it often!

How do I know what size calming dog bed to get?

This depends on how big your dog is and how they like to sleep. Use a size chart to work out the right size bed and then consider if your dog prefers to sleep curled up or stretched out.

How do you clean a calming dog bed?

We all know that sometimes a dog bed can get dirty. Your dog might have been splashing in puddles at the dog park or had a little accident. The question is what do we do next? Most calming dog beds will come with a faux fur removable cover. This cover can be machine washed on a cold setting and air-dried. It's recommended to never tumble dry a dog bed.
