Winter is coming, or How to keep a dog from freezing?

In the autumn and winter months, the dog’s health is even more in need of care. Sudden changes in temperature, rain, frost, drafts at home – all this can weaken the immune system and make the body defenseless against many diseases. How to help your pet cope with bad weather and keep it healthy?

What do you dream about when you run errands on a frosty morning? Perhaps a cup of hot cocoa and a cozy blanket? Your dog dreams of the same! Only instead of cocoa – a treat, and instead of a blanket – a warm, comfortable couch.

A bed should be in every house where there is a dog. Its presence is especially relevant in autumn and winter, when the heating has not yet been turned on or the batteries are not warming well, and drafts are walking around the house.

Contrary to stereotypes, a special bed for a dog is not an excess, but a necessity. Properly selected bed not only gives the pet a sound sleep, but also:

protects against drafts and colds;
prevents cystitis;
provides prevention of arthrosis and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system and joints;
prevents the formation of elbow calluses, which inevitably appear in a dog if it regularly lies on a hard surface.

Of course, for lack of an alternative, the dog can sleep on the bare floor. But a bare floor or even a thin rug will not keep a dog warm during a cold period and will not protect it from drafts. Namely, drafts most often lead to the occurrence of such “sticky” diseases as cystitis.

Beds allow you to solve all these problems: due to the special warm material, comfortable shape and high sides that do not let in drafts. In the case of puppies, “high-breasted” couches generally become a real salvation: warm soft sides give the kids a feeling of protection, as if they are still at their mother’s side. So puppies get used to a new place easier, sleep better and do not disturb the owners at night.

In pet stores you can find a huge number of beds for every taste of the owner and for any features of the dog. For information on what criteria to be guided by when choosing a model, read the article “”. And to make your choice even easier, here are some examples of popular models!
