Bedding
When considering the variety of the durable dog beds available, keep in mind that the best dog beds and bedding are warm and comfortable. Beds come in many shapes, sizes and materials. They can include anything from old fluffy towels to cloth-covered, foam-filled pads. There are specially made dog beds for dogs with special needs, illnesses or disabilities and orthopedic dog beds that are foam beds designed specifically for maximum comfort for arthritic and special-needs dogs. These beds tend to be highly cushioned, supportive and portable. All washable dog beds and bedding covers, if appropriate, need to be washed regularly or when soiled and dirty.

First Supplies for Your Pooch
Items you will need before you bring your new dog home include, puppy or dog food (dry, moist, canned), food and water dishes, washable dog beds and bedding, poop scoops, veterinarian prescribed medications, toys, a collar with identification information, including your dog's name, your name, address and telephone number, and a sturdy carrier.

Housing
Because your dog will spend most of his time indoors, you must provide him with all the amenities he needs. These include dog beds. Your dog will enjoy the comfort and warmth durable dog beds or dog pads provide. Washable dog beds are a convenient and healthy option.

Keeping Your Dog Off Furniture
By nature, your dog is a territorial animal and will claim many areas and furniture in the house, unless you give him some guidance and alternatives. One course of action is to train your dog to "sit," "stay," and "lie down." Give these commands as you sit on the furniture so your dog realizes his place is at your feet. You may want to set up one of the small durable dog beds or pillows on the floor so he has his own place to rest. Most importantly, be consistent and firm in your commands, and don't allow your dog to ignore you.
