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.

Hmmm…. dogs are better n more alert when in pack, when its more than 1dog, the pack instinct kicks in making them more assertive n more testing/non fearing, dont know about pits but rotts are good watch dogs, they dont bark much, if ur looking 4 some dog to just alert u, ur better off with a small yapping breed like a spitz/chihuahua/pom etc, they are harmless but at the same time do their duty to alert u by constant barking when they see an intruder. Rottweiler’s are more of silent watchers n when the intruder in in their territory, they pounce, without warning, without barking, n God save anyone who has had a close shave with a rott ferocity.

The best would be an ADT or Brinks security system. Dogs were meant to be pets not alarm systems.

Don’t get a Rottweiler for non professionally trained guarding please?
Too many people expect an untrained dog to be a good guard dog and when they bite someone it makes for bad press and the whole breed takes the hit. It’s just another bullet in the BSL activists corner.

pitbulls are awesome guard dogs. I have one, and I’m thinking about getting another one.
September 9th, 2010 - 3:29 am
alarms are best lots of times if someone breaks in they shoot the dog anyhow
September 9th, 2010 - 3:29 am
without training do not get a rottweiler…yes they make superb guards of home and family IF TRAINED…go with the adt security system…

get a ADT or Brinks security system. Dogs were never meant to be alarm systems their our pets to love and enjoy.

I don’t suggest getting a dog just for guarding your house. If you train it just to bark at people it may get overly aggressive and cause problems. But if for a good reason I suggest german shepherds, pitbull, or a blue heeler (cattle dog)

I think its funny but its still true more people are afraid of little dogs then big one I think its because more people are bitten from little dogs then big ones you said you own a pitbull so you have the bite now get bark! (just think about it if a yappy little dog is barking at you and snapping at you, your probably not gonna wanna pet it especially if its name is satan)

hey
pitbulls are considered to be dangerous so training a pitbull to attack if there is an intruder is not the best idea because lots of things can go wrong. your dog might become aggressive and might attack someone. i don’t know were u live but in australia they are some restrictions to having a pitbull like you have to have them musseld when you take them for a walk and in some city’s they are banned. rottweilers are a bit better there not as aggressive but they can be. my best bet if you are looking for a guard dog is a doberman. they are loyal and naturaly good guard dogs.
hope that helps, Brianna.

I completely agree with bonzie.
They want affection, not to be neglected and used as security systems.
