Finding the Perfect Bed Set Up for Your Pet! 

Creating a comfortable and cozy sleeping environment for your pet is essential for their well-being. Whether you have a dog, cat, or any other furry friend, here are some tips to help you find the perfect sleeping setup for them. 

1. Choosing the Right Bed

Every pet has unique sleeping habits and preferences. Observe how your pet likes to sleep, and choose a bed that compliments their sleeping style:

• Round or oval beds: Great for pets that like to curl up.
• Mattress beds: Ideal for pets that prefer to lie flat.
• Box beds: a more enclosed, private space that keeps your pet warm from drafts and chills. 
• Memory foam mattress: can provide extra support and comfort for senior and arthritic pets. 

3. Location, Location, Location

The placement of your pet’s bed can significantly impact their comfort:

• Quiet areas: Keep your pet's bed away from doors and windows to ensure they have a peaceful place to sleep with minimal disturbances. 
• Warm and stable: Avoid placing the bed next to radiators or in draft-prone areas. Consistent temperatures are key for a good night's (or day's) sleep! 
• Enclosed Spaces: It's common for pets to feel safer and less anxious in cubbyholes, under furniture and in corners of the room. 

4. Keep It Clean

A clean bed is essential for your pet’s health and comfort:

• Washable materials: beds that are water-resistant, or have removable covers help for easy cleaning, keeping you pet's bed fresh and hygienic. Our Oxbridge Beds are perfect for this!
• Regular cleaning: Regularly wash the bed and vacuum around it to reduce allergens and keep the area tidy.

5. Special Considerations

Some pets have specific needs:

• Multiple pets: Ensure each pet has their own bed to avoid competition. Alternatively, if they're best mates, you can get a larger bed for them to share! 
• Shy/ anxious pets: Igloo or hooded-shaped beds are best for providing a safe and secure refuge for your pet. 

By understanding your pet’s preferences and providing a comfortable, clean, and well-placed bed, you can ensure they get the restful sleep they need to stay happy and healthy.
