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.

try putting towels or old soft blankets down in a quiet place that doesn’t have much traffic (like a closet) and taking her over to it to show it to her, if she takes to it that might be where she has her litter – make sure theres not too much junk on the closet floor (nothing is best so the babies don’t get hurt, and that you can leave the door open without her being too disturbed

When my cat is pregnant we use a rubber-made box with some old towels.

Many cats (including mine) seek refuge in a closet to have their kittens for it’s quiet atmosphere, away from foot traffic. I would suggest making her a home out of a large cardboard box, lining the inside with soft towels, and cutting a square large enough for the mother cat to get out and potty. Make sure to have a litter box nearby, and don’t make it an area so secluded that you cannot check on the kittens’ well being.

You know what, you can put boxes and beds and stuff out all over…however when it comes down to it the cat is gonna do it where she wants to do it. We had a lil box and blankies all set up for a cat and she found her way into the bottom of a dark closet and gave birth there…so let nature take its course…perhaps leave stuff but unless you watch her 24/7 she’ll do it where she wants…

Get a medium size cardboard box, and fill it with soft blankets, towels, something.. and then let her know she can go there.
And, she will have her kittens there.

hi! Let HER choose. I know that with my outside cat, we used a large cardboard box and lined it with blankets. Then put lots of shredded newspaper (things get messy and you will need to change her bed soon after the kittens are born). She will probably go there…but you really should keep her inside and away from other animals (if you haven’t already).
A closet is a really really good place…or under a bed. Of course, put something down. And make sure it is not high off the ground because the kittens will fall off! We used the bottom of mum’s cupboard the last few times an put down some blanket and newspaper on top of a couple of pillows. Kitty loved it

You could set up a full blown delivery room, lol queens will have their kittens where they want. She will find some where that feels safe to her.

A *low* box full of old towles and blankets that you don’t care about. Box should be in a small and dark spot away from all of the hustle and bustel of the home, [ bastment, spare room] because the cat will move her kittens one by one if she is unhappy with the location. Be sure when she gives birth to give her privacy, and do not touch the kittens for at least a day!! ( You wouldn’t someone grabbing your newborn!)When the kittens are a little older, wash the blanktets. Don’t move them if you are distubring the cats though. Hope I was of help!
