A well-rested dog is a happy dog; just as we can feel grouchy and unwell if we don't get a good night's rest, our canine friends can feel the strain too. To ensure your pooch gets forty winks of the best quality you will need to provide them with a comfortable and quiet place to sleep and the first thing on your list should be buying a dog bed.
If you own a larger breed of dog it can be trickier to pick out a suitable bed. Many of the standard bed designs such as padded donut beds come in larger size options which you may like to consider. However, although some larger dogs do like to sleep curled up, they often like to sleep on their tummies with their legs outstretched and are therefore likely to need considerably more space than smaller pooches. You don't want your dog to hurt themselves if they move around while dreaming so it's best not to place too much space constriction on their sleeping space.
With this in mind many owners of large breeds opt for large dog beds in matt or pillow designs which are padded for the pooch's comfort.
