Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Okay, my next door neighbour has just started doing fireworks. I didnt know they were doing fireworks and my dog, Jasper, is scared stiff. Right now he is upstairs in a lil semi dark “tent” I made for him (basically a blanket hanging one end on a box and one end on the bed. He is lying in the centre underneath.)
Also, he is listening to some music, but he is still frightened. Please give ur top tips. I dunno wat to do!!!
If you ignore the fireworks and don’t pander to puppies reaction he can start ignoring them. My mum heard a tip that you play a recording quietly then slowly get this louder till the dog ignores even the real ones. Turn off the radio and play games with him.
How To Choose The Right Dog Bed
There’s always a little celebration along with buying accessories for our pets. This is an opportunity to spoil them and show them how much we love them. When you’re looking for a dog bed for your dog, you have a question in your mind: “what is the right dog bed for my dog? Well. It’s this easy:
The first thing that you need to consider when choosing a dog bed is the quality of the bed. When you invest in a quality dog bed, your dog can rest properly and enjoy a better quality of life, which means, good physical health and emotional well-being. Also, a high quality dog bed’s fabric is resilient to stain, fluids, odor and bacteria and won’t rip easily which means it will last for a long time. A good dog bed filling is one that keeps its shape after lying on it over and over again (just like a good mattress). The filling, whether it’s fiber or foam, should support the dog with much comfort.
The next factor when choosing a dog bed, is the dog’s size. Naturally you want to make sure that the bed fits the dog’s size, so he/she can use the bed appropriately and comfortably. So that’s easy but you still ask yourself, “What is the right dog bed for my dog?” Now, you need to think about your dog’s sleeping habits and personality. What kind of sleeper is your dog? My dog, Zoe, likes to stretch her limbs when she sleeps, and looks like she gets five times bigger in her sleep…. she needs all the space that she can have and for this type of a sleeper, the right dog bed is rectangular or round one, with no bolster or cushion to limit the extra room.
Another type of sleeper is the “curler”. Some dogs like to curl when they sleep (like cats) and these dogs would enjoy a dog bed that they can curl in, like a donut dog bed. A donut shaped bed allows them to curl inside comfortably.
Other dogs which are shy or timid, like to “hide” when they sleep. These sleepers will enjoy resting in beds that they can hide in and feel protected and have some privacy. Beds shaped like slippers, tents and snuggles fit the bill here. By the way, snuggles are fun for many small dogs, but also a great choice for cats and ferrets.
Also, there are dogs that tend to lean back in their rest area while sleeping, they like this extra support that holds their body weight. A dog bed, like a bolster, can give them this extra support. Bolster dog beds are usually round or rectangular while there is a bolster on one side, which supports the dog. These dog beds look like little couches.
After defining the size of your dog and the type of sleeper he/she is, you can think a little bit about yourself. You’d like the dog bed to match your home decor style, and this is where design and personal preference come into play. Of each of the dog beds that are discussed above, there are so many designs with choices of fabrics, colors and patterns. You can really have a lot of fun with this and get easily what you want, since the variety of dog beds is huge.
One last word about organic and eco friendly dog beds: Although these types of beds are made with great consideration to mother earth by manufacturing them out of recycled and biodegradable materials, these dog beds are beautifully designed and their look is as appealing as their function.
