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.

Hey there,
I can help you!
From your description, yes, it’s tapeworms. Actually, what you are seeing isn’t the whole worm, but segments of a worm. Inside those are eggs! Tapeworms come from your dog eating a flea, so the prevention is flea prevention. Frontline Plus works, as does Revolution.
Many dewormers do not cover for tapeworms. We use Cestex or Drontal at the vet hospital where I work. Hopefully you have a vet that you can call. If you describe the tapes, and if you’ve been good about keeping your pet’s vaccines, parasite fecal exams, etc, on time, then they’ll just get the pills ready for you to come and pick up.
Quite often, when we perform a fecal exam, we won’t be able to find tapeworms on the slide that we are looking at under the microscope. So when a client calls and describes what you are, then we just give them the meds. Since it’s prescription, though, the vet has to have an ongoing relationship with your pet.
So it seems that your pet is dealing with fleas, whether you are seeing them or not. Just wash all bedding and keep your dog’s back end cleaned up.
Good luck. Oh, if you find meds for tapes, you don’t have to wait Make sure you trust what you are giving your dog, though. I never buy otc meds for dogs –always get them from the vet, since he knows better than store clerks how to dose it out.

This needs a vets attention..

if they’re not moving and you just wormed her then the dead ones might be falling out.
but yeah, vet asap.

You need to take the dog to the vet to figure out what’s going on, worming meds can be very damaging to the stomach lining, and you do not want to give them too close together or as a "precaution".
Please contact your vet and see what they have to say about this…
And… sorry, reading this really grossed me out… don’t let the dog sleep in your bed again until this is resolved..
