Several surveys have shown that roughly 60 percent of dog owners allow their dogs to sleep on their bed with them.
There are many reasons for sharing your bed with your best fur friend. First, dogs are warm and it feels good to snuggle up to a dog on a cold night. Second, dogs help us relax. Being near a dog increases the flow of oxytocin, a hormone associated with affection and happiness. And a third reason for sleeping with a dog is that that they make us feel safe.
There are two main arguments used to suggest your dog should not be sleeping with you.
Allergy: Allergens associated with pet dander can build up and cause allergy related problems.
Interrupted sleep: Your dog may disturb your sleep. This is based on a survey in which 53 percent of pet owners reported that their dogs tend to wake them at least once each night.
Another reason for not sharing your bed with a dog is the dirt and hair they leave behind. Especially if your dog is shedding! And you might also wanna make sure that your dog is parasite free.
I personally don’t share a bed with my dog, but I can see why some people do. I do love to cuddle with my dog on the lounge tho!
Dog Boarding in Zetland
Puppy Playground dog boarding in Zetland has been designed especially for the comfort and happiness of small to medium sized dogs.
Our dog boarding facility in Sydney isn’t a kennel. Our boarding guests won’t be locked up in small cages in a very stressful environment on their own. To provide your dog the best dog boarding experience in Sydney, we only take a small number of boarding dogs at a time and they will join our dog daycare dogs during the day. They will have plenty of toys, play equipment and fur playmates to play with under our careful supervision.
Each and every one of our dogs are behaviour assessed so that we can make sure your dog will have a great time with like minded dogs. We provide multiple large play areas, daily walks, professional and experienced staff, 24/7 video monitoring and a Veterinarian on call to ensure the safety and comfort of all of our dear guests.
