Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

frontline or advantage ( they truely are the best brands) once a month every month (NOT hartz or any other cheap flea meds, as they irritate pets’ skin and cause severe health problems), a good flea bomb of the house, and wash EVERY carpet, bedding, clothing etc in hot water. bathing the cat wont do anything because fleas can withstand water for a while, and fleas dont live on cats ALL day, even if you deflea the cat, the carpet in the house and in your bed are infested with flea eggs, and the fleas will just jump right back on the cat within seconds.

I would not yet. If you want to hurry the process along there are a couple of products that you can buy from your vet or even on-line. One product is called Capstar. It is a pill that kills the fleas that are biting your cat for up to 24 hours. The other product is called Frontline. It takes up to 24 hours to start working, but it keeps working for up to three weeks.

dude first see that ur cat is fully cleaned or u wud get diseases from ur cat my cousin got a very bad diseases from his cat and after that he neva lets it sleep on da bed i donno y he cleans it so much and yet he dosent let it sleep on da bed …!take care.!!!

Spray her with Frontline. I believe all these flea baths don’t work. Better not let her in the bed until she is clear, or flea eggs will install in your bed and the problem will never end.

A flea bite will be a red spot that itches, itches, ITCHES. In addition to all you’ve done you need to vacuum all areas where your cat has been, very thoroughly, and throw away the vacuum cleaner bag. Then you need to do it all again two weeks later. The fleas prefer your cat, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get a flea bite, too. If you can figure out where you cat got the fleas, that might help, but if she’s an indoor/outdoor cat, the fleas may be baaaaack.

easies thing to do is keep here out of your bedroom till the problem is fixed

I have to add as well, NEVER use Hartz. My cat Heidi almost died. We had to take her to an emergency animal hospital, because she started to have grand mal seizures. The ""medicine"" is extremely toxic, especially small animals.

You can but that might be a bad idea. Fleas carry a lot of diseases, you might want to hold off till you know she’s clean.
May 18th, 2010 - 8:49 pm
I would suggest not to let the cat in until it is clean and healthy
May 18th, 2010 - 8:49 pm
You can. Would I? no. But I would have been treating my cat all along with flea prevention so as to avoid an infestation. What medicine did you use? Your problem can be solved with simple monthly applications of advantage or revolution (not frontline or ANYTHING you can buy from a store). If the fleas are as bad as you say they are, they’ve probably been there for quite a while, so I don’t see that it would make much difference if your cat sleeps with you as usual.
Unless you have a ridiculously heavy infestation, you won’t need to bomb the house or anything drastic like that. Applying the proper meds to the cat will take care of normal infestations. Any fleas in your house that aren’t on your cat when you apply the meds will eventually jump on your cat – they prefer the cat to anything else in your home, including you. As soon as they jump on the cat, they are killed off too. But you must apply the meds faithfully every month.

You shouldn’t it is really dangerous you could get the fleas yourself.
May 18th, 2010 - 8:49 pm
Yes you can, you just might end up with fleas in your bed. There are a lot of different flea control options for your cat. I use a spot on, once a month and it keeps all my moggies flea free.
I would try to keep her off your bed until you have the lfeas under control. Otherwise maybe get a flea collar for yourself.
