There are several factors to keep in mind when buying a cat bed. First is size. It should be large enough for your cat to stand in and turn around with ease, but snug enough to be cozy and secure for your cat. Second is warmth. Enclosed beds hold the heat in much better than open beds. Comfort should be an obvious factor in bed selection. Lastly, you will need to consider methods of cleaning. Try to get a bed that is machine washable since you will need to clean the bed frequently.

How many cat beds do I need to buy for my 3 cats? Can I fit 2 in one?

It's always best to buy one for each cat, this way they each have enough space. But if they choose to sleep in the same bed, they have that option too.

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>

When should I buy an orthopedic bed for my cat?

In general, orthopedic beds should be bought for older cats with joint problems and overweight cats that are likely to get arthritis in the future. Basically, the orthopedic beds put less pressure on the joints, which increases the quality of life for the cat.

What features should I look for when buying a bed for my cat?

Before buying a bed for your cat, make sure the bed meets the following standards: ā€¢ - The bed is big enough for the cat to stretch out comfortably. ā€¢ - The bed should be easily accessible for the cat. This means that the sides are not too high and the cat can get in and out of the bed easily. ā€¢ - The materials of the bed should be comfortable. ā€¢ - The materials of the bed should be durable and withstand the sharp claws of the cat. ā€¢ - The bed is washable (machine or hand-washed).

Does it matter what size bed I buy for my cat?

The of your cat's bed should be relevant to the cat's . It should be big enough for the cat to be able to turn back and forth, stretch fully, and lay down comfortably. But make sure the bed is not too big or the cat will not feel secure.

Where can I buy a cat bed?

You can either buy your cat a bed at a local store near you (such as a PetSmart) or online at various retail sites. I will send you a few links; however I highly recommend doing some searching yourself.

I live in Ottawa and during the winter months it gets extremely cold. My cat needs a warm place to sleep. Can anyone suggest a type of bed that would be best suited to by situation?

I have the perfect solution for you - a radiator hammock cat bed. This bed connects to the radiator in your home giving your cat a comfortable and warm place to rest.

You can buy one at most specialty pet stores or online at one of these locations:
