Find Unusual Beds For Dogs

Beds for dogs can be as utilitarian or as elaborate as you want them to be. In most cases, the dog itself won’t really care, unless it’s a choice between a simple mat on the floor or a memory foam mattress that gives aching joints a bit of relief. If you want the dog to sleep at the foot of your bed, or it really likes that rug near the fireplace, then you may not need to get anything special. But there are some cool dog beds out there, and many pet owners really go in for unusual designs.

If you’re thinking of luxurious dog beds, then there’s nothing more luxurious than a canopy bed, for humans or for dogs. The Horchow Collection of fine furniture and luxury linens (http://www.horchow.com/) doesn’t cater only to human patrons, but also sells a canopy bed for their dogs. It’s crafted by hand with a metal frame, the four corners rising to curve over the bed, adorned with brushed metal roses. These are, as the website describes, “hand painted in a Caribbean gold finish.” Of the various unusual beds for dogs that are available, this one is expensive, but it truly is a work of art.

But taking a more formal route in unusual dog beds, one very interesting type is the Murphy bed. This is the sort of bed that folds up against a wall in the daytime, displaying only a smooth wooden cabinet, but then lowers the hidden mattress and bedding to the floor at night. This type of dog bed furniture can be both utilitarian and decorative. It saves space in the daytime, but can also be designed to match the other furniture in the room. It becomes an actual part of the decor.

Other unusual beds for dogs are found in the shapes of cars or trucks. Some people buy little gazebos with cushions inside, while other beds might be made of bamboo frames, with drawers under the bed where brushes, collars and dog toys can be stored. An unusual pet bed is generally chosen for style, meaning that it will be a bit different and add something extra to the room. There’s an element of pampering, but also a bit of fun. This type of bed is almost always chosen to enhance both the dog’s life and that of its human companion.
