Dogs Bed

I have a pug and he needs a bed, so help me out. PLEASE!He's been sleeping in a crate because he's only 10 weeks old.

go to petsmart or even better try to find a used bassinet mattress and put a pillow case over it with a throw pillow or two , much cheaper and comfortable- plus all u have to do is wash the pillow case n blanket if you add one to clean up – my dogs luv it ( we have to use to crib mattresses because of the size ) good luck

I have a Doberman and want a dog bed for him but want to be original and make one. Any ideas? I need a big bed, because he is a BIG dog.

You can fold up an old blanket, bunch up a couple dozen of those plastic grocery bags, shove them in, then either sew the edges shut or attach a couple zippers so you can adjust the cushioning.

This dog bed is easy to wash and dry, very enviromentally friendly, easy to make, cheap, and quite comfy.

I have some blankets/sheets in my dogs crates, I wash about every two weeks, sometimes every week. they also have a blanket in front of the woodstove that gets washed the same time. I know this is a dumb question, but just curious if i am a little obsessive about keeping the dog beds clean. lol

I completely agree with you! After all Dogs are stinky, roll around outside in grass, step in dirt , etc. I also keep blankets on the dog beds because this extends the life of the dog beds. I make sure to use gentle detergent such as Baby detergent so it doesn’t irritate my dog’s sensitive skin. I try and launder every other week. And it’s quiet comical because the minute I put a fresh blanket on his bed, he runs right over and lays down !

My cat is 10 years old and he pees on my dog's bed and the bathroom mats but never anywhere else except to the litter box. Why does he keep doing this and how do i stop him?

because if you have a dog, the cat feels the need to mark its territory, which includes anywheres the dog sits around. You can get special kinds of litter that have scents to attract your cat, however i would use a pet odor disinfectant spray and put it anywheres your pets sit on so they won't feel the need to urinate on it.

Hope this helps!

my dog’s bed is very old and tattered, and our family is thinking of getting him a high quality dog bed for life instead of buying a new average quality one every 3 months. our dog is a shih tzu, but he likes alot of space, plus he has to have room for his pillows, sheets, and stuffed animals. needless to say, he’s very spoiled and pampered. so does anyone know of a high quality dog bed that looks cute?

go to your nearest pet store and find one that you like.

Why Do Sponge Dog Beds Drive Dogs Crazy?
And WHY do they keep putting sponge in most dog beds?
Every breed of dog I have ever had wants to tear up, and sometimes eat the sponge in her or his dog bed? Is it the petroleum base used for sponge?
I have to use a wool blanket or an outdoor dog bed with natural chips inside to have it last more than a week.

I don't know, but I'm glad to know it's not just my dog that hates them. One bed looked like it had recycled foam in it, so maybe it retained some scent from wherever it was used first. But she has a problem with new foam too. I just use an old bedspread doubled over twice for her bed now.

PetSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETM) is the leading chain of retail stores doing business in the United States and Canada engaged in the sale of specialty pet supplies and services such as grooming and dog training, PetSmart PetsHotel dog and cat boarding facilities and Doggie Day Care. The name PetSmart was coined as a pun.

Petsmart History

PetSmart was founded in 1990 and opened its first Pet Food Warehouse stores in the Phoenix area the following year. Through several mergers and acquisitions, PetSmart expanded in the early- and late-1990s across the U.S. and into Canada, and entered online retailing through a partnership with Idealab in 1999.

In early 2000, PetSmart remodeled most of its store in a plan they called “Eagle” which changed many of its stores from a front-half storefront, back-half warehouse feel to an all-over standard retail market, in hopes of not intimidating customers.

In August 2005, the company announced that it was rebranding its name from PetsMart to PetSmart. This move is designed to emphasize its evolution from a pet supply store to a solutions-oriented company.

As of November 2007, PetSmart operated approximately 1,000 stores and about 150 locations with PetsHotels and Doggie Day Camps. Some PetSmarts are co-located with Banfield Pet Hospital verterinary offices.

Petsmart Product lines

Petsmart Dog products
PetSmart owns several brands that produce a variety of products. Grreat Choice, previously Award (although the Award name still appears as a selection of canned wet dog food), is a grocery line of dog food which PetSmart owns. Authority is a bridge dog food that PetSmart distributes. PetSmart also owns Bargain Hound, which produces crates and dog beds. Grreat Choice and Authority also produce lines of dog treats in a range of treat sizes and flavors.

Petsmart Cat products
PetSmart also owns several brands that produce cat products. Like dog food, PetSmart has a line of Authority cat food, available in canned and dry varieties. Similarly, Authority is considered a premium food. A second, lower price brand, Sophisticat, is PetSmart’s grocery cat food, which is also available in dry and wet varieties. Unlike PetSmart’s dog food brands, Grreat Choice (previously Award) is not distributed for cats. PetSmart also produces cat litter, under the name Exquisicat, as well as most litter related products. Toy Shoppe, which produces dog toys, also has a variety of cat toys.

Bird, fish and small animal products
PetSmart produces fish tanks, stands, and aquarium decorations under the Top Fin name. Top Fin also makes gravel, filters, heaters and other accessories, including starter kits that include several basic components. The former PetSmart label for store brand fish supplies was Proquatics. Bird products are created under the Top Wing label, and includes most items needed for birds, including cages, bowls, perches, and other products. PetSmart also has a small animal brand, named All Living Things.

In January, 2008, PetSmart voluntarily stopped selling live birds at all of its 785 stores in the US after the discovery of psittacosis in some atiels in their stores in December 2007. Psittacosis is an infection caused by a strain of bacteria closely related to chlamydia that can be transmitted from birds to humans and produces symtoms similar to the flu. PetSmart has now started selling live birds again as of about April, 2008.

Petsmart Horse products
Formerly, certain PetSmart stores included a State Line Tack section. It provided a wide selection of saddles, halters, bridles, saddle pads etc. State Line Tack also sold feed and other equipment for the care of horses.

In 2007, PetSmart put State Line Tack, including all catalog and internet business, up for sale and effectively removed all State Line Tack merchandise from stores. State Line Tack was eventually purchased by Horse.com, one of many websites owned by Pets United.

I already wash the bedding once a month, and bathe my babies regularly. Its not a matter of diet or health…….
That being said, can I use baking soda in the wash with the dog beds to give them a deodorizing boost?

If so, for only two beds, how much do I use? Can I use my detergent too? How about fabric softener? Do I need to do an extra rinse to get it all out? Any draw backs to using it on dog bedding?

Thankyou!!!
Dot: How much? do I add it to the wash with soap, or to the rinse cycle?

Yes you can add baking soda to the wash. It won't cause any negative effects on the pups. Add 1/2 cup to the wash cycle, with the soap. I would recommend using a detergent that is mild, such as a free & clear or one without fragrances. I would not recommend fabric softener as many dogs can be allergic to it, also it will take the bedding longer to dry completely. An extra rinse will not be required to get out the baking soda.
