10 Rules Of Thumb When Buying Dog Bunk Beds
For the home with more than one fur baby, rather than getting several beds, why not just get dog bunk beds? These are adorable ways for your pups to enjoy an afternoon nap together. But you will need to consider some impawtant things before shopping.
Fur example, you need to know what size to get, how easy it is to clean, whether it has orthopedic features, what material it is made of, and the weight capacity. Also find out if it is durable, easy to assemble, whether it can stand up to chewers, whether it has a warranty, and if it was made in the USA.
- Size – Since you are getting one bed for more than one dog, you need to measure both fur babies that will be sleeping in it. Using a tape measure, start at the tip of his nose and go to the base of his tail. Then add 6 to 12 inches. Do the same for your other pooch. And then measure from shoulder to shoulder, adding 6 to 12 inches on each dog.
- Machine or Hand Washing – Because we are looking at bunk beds and they are usually made of wood, you know you cannot toss them in the washing machine. But check to see if the mattresses come out for easy cleaning or see if the covers are machine washable.
- Orthopedic Features – All dogs eventually need orthopedic features like memory foam, so you may as well get them now no matter how old your dog is. Look for orthopedic foam or medical-grade foam for the best support.
- Material – The material your dog’s bed is made out of is impawtant to know. You want to make sure none of the materials are non-toxic before buying. Some of the main ones to look for are arsenic, bromine, lead, phthalates, polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), and chlorine.
- Weight Capacity – When buying bunk beds, you have to check the weight limits whether you are buying them for your human kids or pet kids. It is essential to know how much weight each bed will hold, but the top is especially important because you don’t want it collapsing on your other pup.
- Durability – Dogs are notoriously “ruff” on their belongings. Not because they don’t like them but because they do. It is just in their nature to chew, scratch, and dig at things. Make sure the bed is made with premium materials and is secure and durable before using it.
- Setup – Assembling anything you buy can be a mystery, especially when the directions are not clear or if you are missing parts. Try to find one that is already assembled or has easy directions with the least parts. You don’t want to have to hire someone to put it together.
- Does Your Pooch Chew On Everything – All dogs love to chew but some are more aggressive about it than others. If your fur baby is a chewer, try to get one of the more indestructible materials like denim, firehose material, ballistic nylon, or heavy canvas. But nothing is completely chew-proof so give him a chew toy to redirect his chewing habit.
- Warranty: If a manufacturer truly believes his product is made well and will do what it advertised, he is more likely to offer a long warranty of one year or more. Of course, there are exceptions and some companies may only offer a 30-day warranty just because that is their policy. But if you are trying to decide between several beds, go for the one with the longest warranty.
- Made In The USA – Although other countries are perfectly capable of producing quality products, those made in the USA have to pass a rigid set of guidelines and laws. While this is not a deal-breaker, it is good to know where it was made.
