Arthritis and Your Dog

Is your dog getting up in his years of age? If so, he may become the victim of dog arthritis. Just as in humans arthritis is painful to your dog. He may walk slower, he may get up from a sitting or lying down position slower as well. It may start to become more and more difficult for your dog to walk up the stairs. If you let your dog up on your bed or other furniture it may be too hard for your dog to come up by you anymore due to the stiffness and pain.

You can order your beloved dog some dog arthritis pain medication. Speak to your vet about what you should do to help your dog. You can also buy your dog an orthopedic dog bed. You will let your dog sleep in comfort. You will have peace of mind knowing you are helping your sweet dog as he ages.

If you do buy your dog an orthopedic bed, make sure you buy the appropriate size dog bed for your dog to get the maximum benefit of the dog bed. If you are not sure what size to buy your dog--simply make sure that the orthopedic dog bed is larger than your dog. He will feel much more comfortable if he has room to stretch.

You may choose a heated orthopedic dog bed. This will help with the joint stiffness and joint pain.

It is wise to choose an orthopedic dog bed that has a cover that comes off for easy washing. You do not want to choose a dog bed that has to have the entire bed washed. For one thing it may not even fit into your washing machine and dryer. Plus, it may fall apart if the entire bed needs to be put in the washing machine.

Choose a high quality orthopedic dog bed so that it will last your dog for many years to come.

How to select the right orthopedic dog bed for your Dog

Many of the same high quality materials, like memory foam, orthopedic foam, and heating elements found in human equivalents now can be found in orthopedic pet beds.

There are many choices in orthopedic dog beds making it very difficult for you to know which one is the correct choice for your dog. Consider these tips when making your choice.

1. Purchase the correct size of bed for your dog. Dog beds come in various sizes and it is better to have a bigger bed than a smaller one. Your dog should be able to stretch out fully while sleeping on the bed without the fear of him falling off.

2. Do you want your orthopedic dog bed to be heated? Many of the orthopedic dog beds come with the heated option. If you have an older dog with arthritis, a heated bed can give him much comfort. The heat will provide him relief from his painful and stiff joints. If you have a new litter of puppies, a heated bed can provide them with warmth and a sense of security especially while mom is away for a while.

3. Consider the size and shape you want for your dog bed. Consider where the dog bed will be located and which shape and size can be a space saver for you.

4. Make sure you purchase an orthopedic dog bed that has a removable and washable cover. This makes it possible to keep your dog’s bed fresh and clean making it a much healthier environment for your dog.

5. Price is a major consideration. Some of the higher end orthopedic dog beds can cost several hundred dollars, but remember you get what you pay for. If these are too expensive, you can find some great dog beds for fewer than fifty dollars. Remember cheaper dog bed may end up costing you more in the end because due to having to be replaced frequently. A high quality orthopedic dog bed should last for years if properly take care. There are replacement covers available for those beds that have removable covers.
