Unusual Beds For Dogs

THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Until the past few years, unusual and custom dog beds were unheard of. It was simply the norm that dogs would sleep on a mat, the couch, the owner’s bed or a rug, and didn’t need anything fancy. But as dogs have become more and more beloved over the years, and in many cases, rather more pampered, beds for dogs have also grown into items that dog owners have taken a shine to. The result of this has been the creation of dog beds that are fancy or unusual.

If you’re thinking of luxurious dog beds, then there’s nothing more luxurious than a canopy bed, for humans or for dogs. The Horchow Collection of fine furniture and luxury linens (http://www.horchow.com/) doesn’t cater only to human patrons, but also sells a canopy bed for their dogs. It’s crafted by hand with a metal frame, the four corners rising to curve over the bed, adorned with brushed metal roses. These are, as the website describes, “hand painted in a Caribbean gold finish.” Of the various unusual beds for dogs that are available, this one is expensive, but it truly is a work of art.

But taking a more formal route in unusual dog beds, one very interesting type is the Murphy bed. This is the sort of bed that folds up against a wall in the daytime, displaying only a smooth wooden cabinet, but then lowers the hidden mattress and bedding to the floor at night. This type of dog bed furniture can be both utilitarian and decorative. It saves space in the daytime, but can also be designed to match the other furniture in the room. It becomes an actual part of the decor.

The thing about these unusual beds for dogs is that there is often an element of fun in the choice. Why else would you find beds in the shape of cars, tents, gazebos, spaceships or elegant divans? Gone are the days when a simple dog crate bed was good enough, even if a bit boring. Now people are looking for some style, a bit of pizzazz, to go along with the usefulness of the dog bed. Some of these unusual types of beds are just the thing to add that spice.
