Do The Benefits Outweigh The Risks?

One thing to consider when considering allowing your dog to sleep in your bed is whether the benefits outweigh the risks of co-sleeping with your dog, and vice versa. According to some experts, most “zoonotic infections acquired by sleeping with a pet are uncommon,” yet of course they can happen. The most notable issue here is to remember to always be careful when handling their pets, both with their hygiene and dietary needs, making sure to always wash their hands before and after doing so. Also, they need to make sure that their bedroom and bed are always clean. Dogs shed their hair and dander, which can cause allergies and other health issues when not properly addressed.
