The pet supplies classics include pet furniture that takes care of the basic needs of the pet: food and sleep. For dogs and cats, this means a comfortable pet bed and feeding bowls at an ergonomic height. A feeding station that keeps the bowls in place is one of the usual solutions. This "food bar" is often located in the kitchen or living room, which is why the design plays at least as important a role as the functionality.
Pet Furniture and Pet Supplies Classics
High-quality pet furniture – Choosing a dog bed
Since the bed or sleeping couch should primarily be a retreat for your dog, it is important that it is located in a quiet room. Bedrooms or hallways are suitable for a sleeping place, while a dog sofa can also be placed in the family action, for example in the living room. In addition, you should consider the following aspects when buying a new dog bed:
- The sleeping place should be associated with a safe feeling for your four-legged friend. He should not be disturbed by loud noises in his rest zone.
- Make sure that the dog bed is protected from drafts. These can quickly lead to inflammation in the eye and ear area. A metal frame on which the lounge cushion sits is therefore ideal.
- Also avoid placing the dog bed in close proximity to a heater or fireplace. The dry air can irritate your four-legged friend's respiratory tract and eyes.
Your pet's sleeping place should ideally be located where you primarily spend your time. Dogs are pack animals and seek closeness to their master. For older animals, you should especially make sure that the sleeping place adapts to the dog's body. However, it should not be too soft, as getting up could otherwise pose a challenge for your four-legged friend.An entry that is too high puts strain on the joints and can intensify existing pain. The lounge cushions or lounge mattresses aim to consider these values in their selection of materials and quality products.
Cleaning and care of pet furniture/beds
Dog hair, food residues and dirt quickly accumulate at the sleeping place, which is why you should regularly clean pet furniture like the dog bed. We have put together helpful tips to ensure a hygienic sleeping place for your beloved pet:
- Vacuum the dog bed at least once a week thoroughly. This works best with a vacuum cleaner in combination with an upholstery brush or simply without a nozzle.In addition, special pet hair vacuum cleaners are available that suck up dirt, fur, and other dirt particles even better.
- With a metal frame, you can hygienically clean the dog bed with a damp microfiber cloth. However, you should refrain from using aggressive cleaning agents, as they can attack the material. These are not needed with a high-quality powder coating anyway.
- Removable fabric covers should occasionally be removed and put in the washing machine. Always pay attention to the cleaning instructions on the label: Numerous variants can only be washed at a certain temperature. To pull the cover back perfectly onto the mattress, it must be pulled into shape while wet and immediately pulled onto the mattress after air drying.Once the dog has slept on it for a few nights, the cover naturally adapts back to the mattress.
