I must admit I can’t decide whether dogs really require a DogPedic Mattress. Conventional wisdom would say that dogs sleep on the floor and that should be all the comfort they need. I sort of agree that if your dog is young and in good condition it probably is all they require.
The attached photographs show our two dogs. You’ll notice Rottweiler is lying by the door on a green mat. That’s the Vet Bed we have it in our hallway and I had to admit it’s there mostly to absorb any moisture on the dogs paws as they come into the house. We live in the United Kingdom so rain is very common and therefore dogs trailing mud into the house is also common.
But it’s interesting to notice that the dog will still prefer to lie on a bed than on the floor. The other photograph shows our Bernese mountain dog trying to push me out of my favourite armchair. I’m sure given a choice he prefer to lie on my chair than on the floor.
He’s over eight years old now which in Bernese terms makes him positively geriatric. He’s starting to develop osteoarthritis in his back end and will now seek out the most comfortable place to sleep. When he was younger he would sneer at an armchair or even the carpet. He’d be outside on the cold concrete sprawled out perfectly comfortable.
These days though he likes his home comforts more and maybe a more comfy sleeping place might be in order and more to his liking.
Considering this type of mattress is fairly inexpensive I may consider buying him one. The problem is our young Rottweiler would suddenly take a keen interest in it I’m sure and it’s unlikely we could get away with buying just one.
Sometimes we are in danger of treating dogs better and we treat ourselves but sometimes I feel it is justified after all they’ve given us good and loyal service and companionship and making them comfortable in their old age is probably the right thing to do.
