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.

taste. my dog often licks the carpet because the kids spill soda and other crap on it plus it is full of crumbs. my wife loves to lather up with Bath and Body Works soap than put the matching lotion on after her shower. As a result, the bed smells like a fruit salad. So the dog licks and rubs his face on the sheets.

Sounds like he is just trying to pick up your scent.

I also have a dog that does that. I also had another dog that liked to lick the driveway. I think they just enjoy it, there’s really not a physiological reason for it. If you want him to stop you just have to train him not to do it.

It’s most likely an O.C.D which is just something crazy the dog does. You can buy bad tasting spray to spray on furnituree that wont hurt you or the dog but will slowly make him stuff.

Probably out of boredom, gets attention, and out of habit.
Train him out of it and make sure you keep him entertained.

Well it could be lacking some minerals in it’s diet. They sometimes lick objects when that happens. Or it may be an obsessive compulsive disorder. Talk to your vet to see if it mental or dietary.

You might want to bring your dog to the Vet for a check-up. It’s probably nothing serious. But, it’s worth checking out (just to be safe). Or at the least call your dog’s vet and see what they recommend. A site I read mentions Cushing’s Disease.

I know how important your friend is to you and it’s better to get the ease of knowing that everything is OK!
