We all want the best for our furry friends, especially when they start to get that bit older. A good night’s sleep is not only important to us but also to our dogs – so choosing the right dog bed is essential! Whether your senior dog has joint issues or not, a bed that is the wrong size or made from the wrong materials can be a major cause of discomfort. There are various types of beds on the market, all different sizes, shapes, and materials – so keep reading for our tips on how to find the perfect bed for your dog! The main factor to look for when choosing a bed for a senior dog, is the type of material it’s made from. Memory foam is highly recommended for senior canines as it works to ease achy joints. The stiffer foam also makes it easier for your pooch to stand up, easing the pressure applied to their joints.
