Where Should You Put Your Dog's Bed?

A comfortable bed is necessary for a good night's sleep, even for a dog. Make sure your dog has a bed that's big enough, comfortable and positioned in the right place in your home.

  1. Out of the Way

    • Place your dog's bed out of high-traffic areas. Between chairs and in the room's corner are a few places that are close enough to people, but out of the way at the same time.

    Drafts

    • Place your dog's bed in an area where there's no cool draft to keep him from getting ill.

    Bedroom

    • One of the more popular places for your dog's bed is on the bedroom floor. Dogs relax more when they are close to their owners. Having their beds nearby lets them sleep close, but not on your bed.

    Living Room

    • Because dogs often like to be around their families, another good location for your dog's bed is the living or family room.

    Kitchens

    • Do not place your dog's bed in the kitchen. Not only will the bed and dog be in your way while cooking and cleaning, it is also dangerous for you and your pet.
