Top Natural Mattresses

As a doggie owner, it’s essential to know your dog’s sleeping habits so that you can be aware of any changes. More importantly, seeing their sleep positions will also give you some insight into how they are feeling, whether physically or mentally. 

Dr. Jennifer Coates shares that “dogs who are sleeping more or less than normal or in new positions or locations may be suffering from an illness or injury.” That’s why it’s best to speak to your dog’s vet if you happen to have any concerns regarding there sleeping patterns and habits.
Should you want to help your dog get their best sleep, be sure to keep their sleeping environment as comfy as possible, with good ventilation and away from too many distractions. Buy them a bed of their own that they know is theirs to use. You can even keep their favorite toys nearby, in case they look for something to chew on at night, and always keep their water bowl in the vicinity as well. 

If your dog is a cuddler and sleeps beside you, be sure to use a mattress protector in preparation for any sleep accidents or spills. You might think you’re being overly cautious but should something happen, you’ll definitely be thankful you were well-prepared.
