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.

In there own bed!
If you let a dog sleep in your bed, the dog will automatically become pack leader. (too them anyway) and will not listen to you.

Most dogs of all breeds like to sleep on the bed with their people. Short haired and thin coated dogs especially so, for warmth. Your dog doesn’t have to sleep on the bed with you but he will be much happier sleeping in the same room as you than banished to the living room. Just as long as he has a comfortable bed in your room, he will be happy. My dog snuggles right next to me at night. A clean, flea-free dog won’t stink up your bedroom or bed.

well boxers are very affectionate and when they r first puppies they may want to sleep in ur bed, but if u r REALLY big on that whole "my room not ur’s" then i guess u could train them to sleep in the living room but only if u live in an apartment or ur bedroom is on the same floor… they don’t just want to be near u, they want to protect u! these dogs are very affectionate so they will do anything to protect u! so please don’t leave ur little boxer buddy at a far distance! i hav grown up with boxers and love them all!!! i hav had white and brindle and they are both sooo affectionate!!! the white one seemed to be more protective then affectionate. and it is NOT true that the white ones r duds or mistakes! they are boxers and thats all!!!!

My dog isn’t a boxer (i have a lab mix), but she will not sleep anywhere but her kennel (wire crate). We tried to let her sleep on the bedroom floor but she refused. She goes in her kennel every night, either by herself or if I tell her its "bedtime". I think its a familiar thing since she’s done it since we’ve had her because she was a puppy.
I don’t like having a dog in the bed cuz of hair and smell. I’ve had smaller dogs that slept on the couch.
