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.
