You’d be amazed at the amount of dog owners who fill their houses with dog beds for their pampered pooches – me being one of them!!  I think it’s because there are so many great designs out there that we can’t make up our minds which one to go for.   

My dog has got a gorgeous circular faux suede dog bed in the office, an igloo-type dog bed in the bedroom, a tunnel-type one in the sitting room which she loves because she’s a tiny terrier who loves to burrow and she’s also got numerous dog cushions, dog blankets and dog throws all over the house and the car!!

The great thing is that you can usually find a dog bed to suit every shape and size of dog all your requirements.  They come in a variety of sizes - large, medium and small and they come in different shapes – circular, oval, triangular to fit in a corner, igloo-types and some really different designs like those which look just like a dog kennel !!  There are raised dog beds made from willow and metal and some which are a replica of our own sofas. 

They are made from fabulous fabrics like faux suede, faux leather, real leather, cool cotton, soft fleece, lambswool etc. and can also be waterproof which is great if you have a dog that loves the wet weather or is kept in an outside dog kennel.

The fabric colours vary from earthy brown, black, sand and taupe colours through the creamy beiges to the soft pink and blues and there are also some really quirky fabric designs like the Wallace & Grommit Range we have recently added to the ideas-4-pets website.  Whatever your style or your decor, there is bound to be one that you and your dog just can’t live without!!

If you have a pet that has undergone surgery or suffers from arthritis or other joint problems, then an orthopaedic dog bed or dog mattress which have either a memory foam top mattress, are made completely from a memory foam block or are made with crumbed memory foam which has the advantage of air circulation which can prevent overheating.  We know the benefits of the memory foam mattresses on our own beds and the benefits are just the same for our canine companions.  The foam moulds itself to your dog’s shape and thus give your dog full body support.  These are also great for elderly dogs and some of them have the option of a waterproof cover for incontinent dogs.

If you want a cool, sophisticated dog bed for your dog, then look at our basket designs that are made from willow – they have a removeable and reversible cushion inside and are on small legs so prevent rising cold.

So as I previously mentioned, whatever the needs and requirements of you and your dog are, there will be something on our site that will fit the bill !!
