Where do you put the dog bed?

Did you know that an (adult) dog sleeps for 12 to 14 hours a day? Naturally, you want your dog to lie in a comfortable place. But what is the ideal sleeping spot for your dog? We’ll tell you all about it in this blog.

Where should you definitely not place the dog bed?

Before we reveal the best place for a dog bed in your home, we would first like to tell you about some less suitable places to put it:

1. Close to a door or window. These spots are often drafty and therefore uncomfortable for your dog. Lying in a draft can even make your dog ill.

2. The hallway is not a convenient place to put the bed. People often walk through it, which can disturb your dog while sleeping.

3. The kitchen is not an ideal place either. Moreover, it is not very hygienic. A lot happens in the kitchen; there are many different smells and sounds that can distract your dog during its nap.

4. Close to a fireplace or heater. Dogs get too warm quickly, so they will look for another place to continue their nap. In addition, it can also be dangerous.

5. Just like near a heater or fireplace, it can also get too warm near a window that lets in a lot of sunlight. Your dog can become too hot if it lies in the sun for too long.

The right place to put the dog cushion or dog bed.

Based on the points above, you can conclude that finding the right sleeping spot for your dog can be quite a challenge. When determining the perfect place for a dog bed in your home, it is therefore important to pay close attention to where your dog prefers to lie. Most dogs have a fixed spot that they consider their favorite sleeping place. Your companion will be grateful if you put a comfortable bed there for them.

Although every dog’s favorite sleeping spot is different, it has been found that most dogs feel most comfortable in a quiet place in the living room. Placing the dog bed in a corner or against a wall creates a sense of security. The ideal formula for a good night’s rest!
