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.

Nothing is different in most, they are cheaply made, most are very high in fat content and have very high ‘flavourings’ in them…not really good food for dogs, but because they are different and are given as a treat they become high value to the dog………….if you fed a bowl of treats a day, they would lose that high value and they certainly wouldn’t give the nutrients required, make your dog fat and un healthy

Dog food has the nutritional requirements to be a full meal.
Dog treats may contain ingredients that the dog doesn’t actually need or may contain extra salt or sugar or other additives.
Finally, a bag of dog treats is a lot more expensive than dog food.
All in all, dog treats should be just that – treats – whereas dog food can be given as regular meals.
If you dog is being picky, that is because you are letting him. Pick a brand quality dog food that you are prepared to buy regularly and refuse to give him anything other than that. Put a bowl down twice a day and take it away again after half an hour. Give him no other food until the next meal. Sooner or late he will eat. Dogs won’t let themselves get too hungry. I suggest that once he has a regular eating pattern established you use the treats as a reward for finishing each meal and only give it once the bowl is empty. Give him treats at no other times, other than when you are training him.

the dog treats have special flavoring and it is something different then plain dog food

I think it may be the fact that people make such a big deal over treats! I have worked with dogs before and just used their kibble as treats, it worked just the same.
Plus, some companies put bad ingredients in their dodg treats that dogs love, but are bad for them!
FCR!

What’s in dog food is just vitamns, etc that are good for your dog. As where dog treats are pure treats. Its not healthy. It would be like eating ice cream or cake for a dog. Justthe ingrediants that they put in them make a dog love them.
If you where to feed dog treats instead of dog food your dog would not get the right nutrition it needs and become either obeise or very malnurished.

Dog food is a meal like rice, chicken and beef.
Dog treats is a snack like chips, chocolate and ice-cream.
If you add dog treats to dog food the dog will get fat.
