When a dog wags its tail, or whimpers joyfully after a morning walk, one cannot resist the temptation to smile. The natural appeal and contagious charm that dogs possess is what draws a pet owner to invest in a comfortable living space for Brutus. If you’re reading this then it shouldn’t sound ridiculous to actually look into the possibility of buying a designer dog bed for your ‘best friend’.
A Little Creativity Won’t Kill
Why not put yourself to the ultimate test and challenge your adoration for Brutus by piecing together a nice designer bed from scratch. By talking to other avid pet owners you can start to see normal clutter transforming into so many beautiful and crazy ideas. Before you know it, you will be going mad with the excitement of what you can create, and at zero the cost! Unused suitcases, baby cots and bathtubs, cardboard boxes and loads of other idle clutter can be turned into something astonishingly amazing.
But whatever you do, remember 2 factors to consider, that is, your dog’s size and its general behavior. The latter deserves more emphasis. When you have an aggressive and giddy dog you must chose boring and lifeless materials that he/she might lunge into. After all, a bed is not a play thing but a place for rest. You might have to cut, saw, tear or spill some paint, but I assure you, it will be all the more gratifying than walking into a pet store.
Store Selection
Not to say that buying a bed is to be shunned. In fact, it can also be fun when you take Brutus with you and let him try out a few beds. However, make it certain that you select a store that specializes in this handcraft, like a pet store for instance. Pet store owners are generally people who love animals. They understand the kind of sensitive needs that different pets have, and in turn, consider the specific living arrangements which will be suitable to Brutus. Alternatively, if you do not have the time to shop around, there are several online pet stores you can surf through and contract to design something you want specifically. But one word of caution: go through reviews to get a second opinion.
Tips
To finish off, homemade beds must also be kept clean. Placing plastic sheets at the base helps to prevent spoilage and waste from seeping into carpets. Using removable materials allows you to ‘spread’ the designer dog bed and do some dusting. And lastly, buy an insecticide spray to kill fleas and ticks.
