Puppy Beds & Blankets

Which Puppy Bed or Blanket Should I Buy For My Puppy?

A dog bed is your puppies own private space. It will provide comfort and a feeling of safety and refuge to your new dog. It will also greatly reduce the chance of your puppy deciding to sleep on your sofa or your bed!

Reduce Their Stress and Anxiety

Remember many puppies will have been used to being with their mother and siblings and taking them out of this environment is bound to be stressful. A puppy may never have been alone before and you shouldn't underestimate the potential for stress in your puppy when you make them sleep on their own all night. In addition, they are being exposed to new people, places, sights and sounds. There are so many potential causes of anxiety and stress for your puppy. They will, of course, get used to their new family and environment with time. Meanwhile, make sure you provide a good individual puppy bed for them in a quiet and dark spot. Snuggle beds are a good choice because they have sides so your puppy can literally snuggle up and hide themselves away. This extra privacy is important in helping your puppy feel safe and providing somewhere for them to retreat to if it all gets a bit much.

Provide Warmth

Puppies often need some extra help keeping warm especially if they are short-haired or have suffered from a skin condition like mange. You can use a hot water bottle however there is a risk of burning your puppy so we would never recommend you do this. Instead, you can use a heating pad which is a cheap and safe way to provide some heat to your puppies bed. You just zap them in the microwave, slip them in a cover and place them in your puppies bed. They provide gentle heat for up to 10 hours.
