Pillows are the most common type of bed. Pillows come in many sizes, shapes and colors. Some are filled with cedar chips that add a pleasant aroma to the room. Cedar is also a natural flea repellent which will help prevent infestation of your dog. Many of these beds have a zippered inner liner so you can add fresh cedar , or remove the polyfil so your pet gets just the right firmness.
Outer liners are easy to remove for laundering.
Mats are less bulky and usually fit nicely into a corner or inside a crate . Crate pads, specially designed to fit inside a crate, are made of a firm polyfoam and covered with a long-lasting, washable nylon fabric. Many dogs love the secure feeling a nest bed gives. Shorthaired, senior and arthritic dogs are especially fond of these. Orthopedic beds are a great benefit to pets that develop joint problems such as hip dysplasia.
