How Sharing Bed With Your Dog Can Be Beneficial


Pet owners have different opinions regarding sharing beds with their dogs. Indeed, there are positive and negative views about this.


Here are some benefits you can get from sharing the bed with your pet dog:


  • Co-sleeping will strengthen the bond between the dogs and the human parent

  • Your dog will feel relaxed and safe, especially if he is feeling nervous

  • Gives reassurance to pet owners who live alone

  • Reinforces normal instinct of dogs


Sleeping Behavior of Dogs


Even if dogs do not co-sleep with their humans, they normally sleep beside other dogs. You will see this arrangement in mothers and their young litters. Also, younger dogs like to sleep beside puppies. Older dogs, on the other hand, prefer to sleep closer to each other when it’s cold. The proximity gives warmth to everyone. Some dogs do not sleep close to each other when the weather is warm. The alpha dog gets to sleep in the best spot, which usually has a higher elevation than others.


Bring your pet to the vet clinic Lakewood Ranch, FL if you notice any changes in your dog's behavior. More information here: https://www.sarasotaanimalmedical.com/
