Good night’s sleep for you and your dog - a few tips

Is your dog keeping you from a good night’s sleep? With just a few easy tips, you can ensure that you both get all the rest you need.

If you have new puppy, it is very important to establish a set sleeping place for him on the very first night.
It could be kennel or a crate. Be sure to line the kennel with newspaper in case of any night time accidents. Have an elevated area at the back of the sleep area, possibly a dog bed or pillow, so your dog is not sleeping in its own waste.


It's important that you choose the place for your dog to sleep, but you need to train him to go to this area at will. Lead him with a treat to connect a positive reward with his sleeping area. Never pick up your dog and place him in his sleep area, or he will associate being there with a negative experience.

If you are changing your dog's sleeping arrangements, be sure he has plenty of exercise and food.
If your dog is tired out and full, he should adjust fairly easily to a new sleeping place, and will not cause you any trouble.

Is it safe to keep dog in your bed?

Sleeping with pet isn’t unusual. According to a recent survey, nearly half of dogs sleep in their owner’s beds. But is it really safe to bring pet into the bed?

People who suffer from pet allergies or asthma should not sleep with their dog or even allow them in the bedroom. For people with allergic it's best to use some filters and keep dog out of the bedroom to give nose a few hours a day to recover.

Sometimes the love for pet is soo strong that even if owners discover that theirs pets are causing allergy problems, they won't denny pets entrance to bedroom. For those people we recommend allergy shots to build up a tolerance to the pet dander that causes allergic reactions.

However if you’re not allergic, there’s really no big issue with having a dog in your bed. It should be fine as long as your dog does not want to disturb your sleep. In most cases, he will actually help with your sleep. With dog at your side you will feel much safer and calmer.

If your dog has no behavioral problems then it’s OK to let him sleep from time to time in your bed. In fact, from the dog’s standpoint, it’s a compliment, beacuse dogs sleep only with people who they trust. But aggressive or dominant dogs should not be allowed on beds. And if pet become a problem, he need to get off the bed.

Regardless if you want to keep your dog in bed or not it is smart to equip dog with alternative ( or main ) place to sleep. Just like one of our dog sofa or corners.

The dog breeds that are perfect for travelling

Are you an adventure kind of man and you want your dog companion to be always eager for an adventure just like yourself?

Over the course of thousands years of domestication, humans have designed dogs to fit their lifestyles. They’ve raised working dogs to herd the flock and hounds with sensitive noses to hunt. Despite all their different jobs, at the end of the day, these pets are content to snuggle next to you as you relax on the couch or read a book.

To find the right furry friend for your adventures, it helps to know a little about dog personalities generally. Retrievers are fun, loyal and eager to please. They love the water and will fetch until your arm is ready to fall off. Sighthounds hunt prey with their speed and agility, making ideal companions for active runners. There are many outstanding dog breeds with amazing endurance, agility and personalities. Below are some of them who would make a perfect fit for an adventure seekers.

Rhodesian Ridgeback is native to South Africa, originally bred by Boer farmers to hunt lions. These muscular and courageous dogs can run alongside horses while hunting for 30 miles thanks to their thick padded feet.

The Saluki is one of the oldest breeds of dogs. A sighthound and Salukis were originally bred to hunt gazelles. Independent, gentle and affectionate, these hounds are marathon runners with slower heart rates pumping more blood and oxygen to the body, allowing them to go on longer.

The Weimaraner is a muscular dog, originally bred in Germany to hunt deer, boars, and bears. Their iconic silver coats, and their eyes — blue at birth, eventually turning amber — give them the nickname “the gray ghost.”

No matter which dog breed you will choose, you need to remember to provide your dog with some travelling equipment - just like ours car beds.

Dog on the plane - is it safe?

Commercial airlines aren't set up to deal with shipping dogs. If your dog isn't small enough to carry on board the plane ( or it is a special assistance dog that could travel with owner ), air travel will be a risky thing to do.

The basic problem is that to an airline, your pet is just an especially bothersome piece of baggage. And as you knows, baggage slip-ups are inevitable, given connecting flights scheduled too close together, long delays, and human error in a stress-filled, overloaded system. To sum up, a lot of things can go wrong when a dog goes on a commercial flight.

Even if everything goes as planned, air travel is very frightening and stressful for your pet. And you often can't cope with problems as they come up, because you and your dog are separated during the critical times.

So, if you could choose another method of transportation for your travel, we advise to take your dog to a car or bus - it will be so much safer and comfortable way of traveling for your beloved pet. You could provide your dog with so much comfort thanks to our car beds. Moreover our CAR BED can easily be used to carry your pet while driving and afterwards as a remote bedding. You just need to take it out of your car and place it where you want your dog to be during the stay. Your dog will enjoy the stay as much as you relaxing in a well-known bedding.

Dog and car safety

As you plan your road trips this easter holidays, be sure to consider your pet’s car safety before pulling out of the driveway. There are better ideas than driving with your pet in your laps, so now’s the time to investigate proper car restraints for animals. Here are some options for your dog.

First, we should mention that when pets are in car accidents, they often suffer multiple injuries, including broken bones, ruptured lungs, and severe trauma as a result of not being restrained properly. 

You can help prevent your dog from moving around your vehicle freely with a step-in harness that will keep him safely.

Other option could be dog seatbelt, that is designed for small dogs up to 25 pounds.

More comfortable option for your pet could be special car seat/ carbed that will provide not only safety but also favorable transport condition.
