You can use old blankets to line your dogs kennel as long as they don't get wet. Blankets tend to retain moisture and can become cold and smelly. You should try to air the blankets as much as possible too by hanging them on the laundry line.

This dog won't stop 'hacking' for lack of a better word. Took him to vet , not kennel cough. A few of us think it's mental but it's driving me mental!!!!!! He doesn't seem to do it outside tho.

Hello, Teresa -

So, your veterinarian does not think your dog's coughing is not kennel cough, but did not state what he / she thought was causing the coughing.

Read the information here:
https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/common-conditions/dog-coughing/

After examining your dog, I am surprised the veterinarian did not state what he / she may think is causing your dog's coughing. Did you tell your veterinarian that your dog only seems coughs when indoors . . . in your home? If you did not tell your veterinarian about the coughing just indoors (in your home), make a call and report that information to him / her. The coughing COULD be due to indoor allergies.

Without a veterinarian making a full physical examination of your dog, it is a challenge to provide a diagnosis.

Best wishes.

How to select the perfect bed for your dog

<p>Finding the right bed for your dog may seem like a simple task; however many people will suggest otherwise. There are many factors to consider when selecting a bed for your dog, including comfort, ease to clean, resistance to odor, size and price. When you are buying a bed for either yourself or a child, what factors are you taking into consideration - now think about the comfort of your dog and keep the same criteria in mind. That being said, I will give you a few tips to help in your search for the perfect bed for your dog.<br> <p><br><p>Notice how above the last characteristic I mentioned was price? Well, that should be one of the last considerations. First you should focus on comfort. Dogs spend over 50% of the day in their beds and need it to be a place where they can relax. In regards to selecting a comfortable bed, you need to consider the way in which your dog sleeps. Does your dog sprawl out or sleep in a ball? You will need to consider this when selecting a bed. The size of bed you choose is extremely important. Make sure you buy a bed that is slightly larger than your dog. Like us, dogs need space in their beds to stretch their legs out.<br> <p><br><p>Next you should consider the material of the bed. Look for a sturdy material that cannot be ripped or consumed by your dog. You may want a bed with a removable cover or a bed that is machine washable. This way it will be less of a hassle to clean. <br> <p><br><p>I will finish by leaving you with an article I found on eBay that I found very helpful in finding the right size bed for my dogs. Hope that you found this helpful!<br> <p><a href="http://reviews.ebay.com/Choosing-the-right-dog-bed?ugid=10000000013754001">http://reviews.ebay.com/Choosing-the-right-dog-bed?ugid=10000000013754001</a>

Benefits of Dog Beds

Besides being a place to relax/sleep on, dog beds provide great benefits for your dog. First of all, compared to laying down on the floor, dog beds are much cleaner. Even if you clean your floor every day, there will still be dirt and debris. On the other hand, dog beds can be kept clean quite easily. Secondly, dog beds are a place where dogs can have time for themselves. Whether it's playing with a toy or just going to sleep, beds give dogs a sense of privacy that they sometimes desire. Third, certain types of beds provide dogs with health-related benefits. For example, orthopedic beds are great for dogs with arthritis or other orthopedic problems. In addition, heating beds can be great for dogs who suffer from sore muscles. Fourth, it is better for dogs to lay down on their own bed rather on the sofa, especially if it likes to bite things and make a mess. Last benefit and perhaps the most important one is the comfort that these beds provide the dogs. Dog beds are plain and simple really comfortable for dogs! And because there's a large variety to choose from, there's no reason that you shouldn't find a nice bed for your dog.

What are some benefits to getting a dog bed?

Ok, so there are several benefits to getting a dog bed for your pet. Firstly, like humans, it is important to have your own space. A dog bed will provide your dog with a sense of security. Most beds also protect your dogs' joints and bones with extra cushioning. With a bed of their own, dogs will be less likely to jump up and down from other furniture, in turn preventing possible injuries.
