Save Space with a Corner Dog Bed
Nov 25th, 2009 by admin
A corner dog bed is the ideal solution to the problem of limited space in the home and the need to find a comfortable place for your beloved pet to sleep. Homeowners who are working with cozy settings or merely want to maintain a minimalist style of interior design will find that the corner dog bed serves a utilitarian purpose while not intruding upon the focal points of their furniture setup.
There are many options when choosing the right corner dog bed for your pet as well as your home. The first specification to keep in mind is the size of the pet. Even a small animal may require a medium or large sized bed if they are a dynamic sleeper. It is important to purchase a bed in the right size and the defined structure of the corner bed will prevent flexibility or hanging over the edge. Assess how much space your pet requires when sleeping, and then leave a margin of a foot on every side to ensure they will fit well in the bed.
In addition to the length of your dog and the position they choose for sleeping (spread out or curled up), their weight is another factor in choosing a size. The right brand and style depends on the frame of the bed, and whether it has additional bolsters to maintain its shape even while supporting a heavier-than-average dog.
Another consideration is whether your dog is what is known as a “chewer.” If they have a tendency to tear open pillows or have damaged previous beds, you will want to choose a corner dog bed that is made of a durable material and filled with an organic stuffing. For ease of care, obtaining a bed made from machine washable material will enable you to eliminate excess odors caused by daily use and excess drool.
An attractive and resilient corner dog bed can be purchased for a reasonable price at most pet retail stores. A few standout examples that can be ordered off the Internet include the Orvis Corner Dog Bed, the Personalized Corner Dog Bed, and Corner Retreat Dog Bed. Countless other styles are available, generally ranging in price from $50 to $200. Corner dog beds often come in muted colors to blend in subtly with the room rather than challenge the design palette, but custom color covers may be found online as well.
