Many people think just like me…their dog is not their dog, they are another family member. My dog doesn’t rank as high as my kids, but she does come in a very close second. Because I do care for my 7 year old German Shepherd, I wanted to make sure she had the most comfortable bed possible. After a close evaluation and comparison of all the dog beds I could possibly find, I chose the DogPedic Sleep System.
This product is unique in many ways but its most significant feature is that it provides the ultimate sleeping comfort for any dog. In years past, I assumed that a couple of blankets inside my dog’s kennel would provide the necessary bedding she needed. Until recently, I never noticed that she never slept in her kennel unless the temperatures outside forced her to seek shelter. Blankets don’t make good beds, not even for pets.
The DogPedic Sleep System is not like any other dog bed you have ever seen. It is not a mattress or a foam filled pad. This System is made up of a special memory foam better known in scientific terms as “visco-elastic polyurethane”. Large dog beds have the same air coil system as do the medium dog beds and small dog beds. This feature has the ability to react to surrounding temperatures; staying warm in winter and cool in summer. This same characteristic prevents odors from penetrating and remaining trapped inside the foam.
Most dog beds, when dirty, cannot be washed in a regular washing machine without losing their shape and their padding consistency. The DogPedic Memory Foam System can be washed and never lose its padding consistency and comfortability. The removable outer covers can be removed and washed separately.
As for comfortability, the thickness of the foam is not too thin and not too thick. The amount of memory foam is determined by the size of the dog and the matching bed size. Dogs with ailments forcing long term confinement do quite well on the DogPedic Foam Mattress. The special design provides relief from bed pressure and the air fill pockets lend support to ailing joints and bone.
There are other foam beds available, but they don’t allow the dog’s weight to be evenly spread over the surface of the mattress. With this even weight disbursement over the pressure surface, circulation is supported, joints are protected and best of all, pets sleep better.
In addition to the specially designed memory foam mattress, the cover is also unique. It is water proof and stain resistant, important characteristics when dealing with pets. The fabric pattern is specially designed as well and as such, hair and dander won’t get stuck to the cover.
Even though the DogPedic Sleep System is designed for dogs, it can be used for other pets. These beds are available in three sizes selectable by your pet’s weight and shape. The small pet bed would be ideal for cats, ferrets, rabbits, and other smaller pets.
If you truly care about your dog, like I do, you’ll want to provide them with a great bed to sleep on. The DogPedic Sleep System fills that need completely.

How Well Is Your Dog Groomed?
The reason one should groom his/her Dog is simple – your dog’s physical state influences the way he feels and the way you look at your dog. Extreme cases, where lack of proper care, cleaning and grooming can directly affect the behavior of your Dog, are not rare.
Proper grooming not only infuses a healthy glow to your dog’s appearance, but also helps develop his self-esteem; while it makes you a very proud parent, when you show off your Dog to others.
The first step involved in dog grooming is: Brushing!
Brushing has been universally acknowledged by expert dog groomers as the single most important step in grooming.
The benefits of brushing are many. To name a few:
- Better blood circulation
- Shinier and healthier coat
- Better bonding
Even if you know how crucial brushing is for your Dog’s health and well-being, we all know that there is a right way and a wrong way of doing anything. And without doubt, you would like to do everything the RIGHT way when it comes to your Dog.
Yes, there’s a method to follow while brushing your Dog.
Here are FIVE steps to successfully brushing your Dog that will prove to be extremely useful:
- Brush against the growth of the hair first with a slicker brush and then with a medium or wide-toothed comb.
- The slicker brush removes all the loose hair and the comb takes care of the tangles.
- Brush your Dog along the hair growth and make sure you reach the skin as you brush his way.
- Then use a flea comb over the coat to get the fleas and remove any remaining tangles. Part the coat and start from the root and then comb through.
- If your Dog’s paw pads are hairy, then clip them using electric clippers. Do not clip the hair in between the pads. Clip only the excess hair.
Brush your Dog’s hairs to prevent it from matting. Matting can be a very painful experience.
Regular brushing untangles the matted hairs on your Dog’s coat. Since this is a risky job to do, the best way out is to prevent them from forming in the first place. And doing this is simple: just brush and comb your Dog regularly. If and when you see any mats or tangles, use a detangle solution and a medium-toothed comb.
Don’t wait until your Dog is dirty or matted to introduce him to grooming. That would make him associate the experience with unpleasantness. Moreover, many dogs learn to see their routine brushing as an alternate form of petting, i.e. another source of affection and attention.
Is Your Dog Potty Trained Enough?
House Training a puppy or adult Dog is such an essential issue for its owner that even a single exclusive tip turns out to be extremely helpful.
The first step in making your Dog fit for polite company would be to potty train him. Some see this training as a hassle and some as a challenge.
For me, it is part of bringing up a pet.

There are a few things you need to know before you actually start potty training a puppy or adult Dog. I enumerate these below:
- You need to understand your dog’s body language. Watch for signs that will indicate to you when your pet wants to eliminate.
- If you own puppies, remember that they need to go potty at fairly frequent intervals – as soon as they wake up, after short naps, after play-time, after meals, before and after being crated and finally, before retiring for the night.
- Take your Dog for walks at the time that he usually does his potty. Take him out to the yard and then to the same place there every time he needs to answer nature’s call.
- Praise your Dog after he eliminates at the right place. Some Dog owners even give treats to their dogs. But remember to do this every time he does it right. He will relate the rewards to his having “done it right” and zero in on the spot where you want him to defecate regularly.
- With time, you can try signal training. This is so that you know when your doggie wants to go. You can hang a bell at his level near the door and teach him to push it with his nose or pat it with his paw on his way out.
- Until your Dog has been fully potty trained keep him under strict vigilance. Do not let him roam around the house freely.
- Use a crate. A crate-trained Dog is usually very happy to get his own den. The advantage of crating is that dogs do not soil the place where they sleep. So, he will naturally not eliminate inside the crate.
- If you have a small dog and if you live in a high-rise building or in a place that does not have a proper backyard, you can try litter pan training. What you do is create a space for your pet to eliminate in your house itself.
- Use positive reinforcements while housebreaking puppies or adult dogs. Do not scold or hit him as you will gain nothing by doing that. He will only associate punishment with your return from outside. If you catch him in the act, a stern ‘NO’ or ‘FREEZE’ will do. It will startle the Dog enough for him to stop pooping.
- Be prepared to return to a soiled home if you are keeping your Dog home alone for more than 4 hours as separation anxiety is quite common among home – alone dogs.
- Accidents will happen. It is unusual for a trained adult Dog to work against its house training. But medical problems or health disorders may lead to sudden accidents.
- Many dogs mark their territory. These can be a leg of a table or a particular wall. Intact male and female dogs mark their territories by urinating. Use deodorizers to spray on the places where your Dog has marked.
- If you are patient and are ready to accept that house training a dog takes time, even months sometimes, you will end up having a good housetrained Dog.

Now we will move on to how to potty train puppies and adult dogs.
Potty Training A Puppy:
Irrespective of breeds, housetraining a puppy is considered to be one of the biggest challenges by dog owners. If you think housetraining your puppy simply involves a steady supply of old newspapers, then think again.
A puppy does not develop full control over his bladder until it is over 4 or 5 months old. Since they are growing and developing rapidly at this time, puppies eat more, burn more calories and need to eliminate more frequently than an adult Dog.
After each nap, meal, drink or play, take your puppy to his designated area (indoors or outdoors, wherever you have decided) and stay there until it eliminates. Then bring him to his crate.
Repeat this situation everyday until he has developed a habit out of it.

Potty Training An Adult Dog:
The best way to housetrain an adult Dog is to begin all over again.
Observe him very closely. Maybe even maintain a diary of where he goes and when. Whether he is pooping when you are home or only when you are outside; whether you can time yourself to be home when he feels the need to go outside.
You can try dog crates, but be careful to introduce him gradually to them.

Remember, commitment, consistency and intelligent use of positive reinforcement will make you the owner of a perfectly housetrained Dog. Don’t expect miracles. You will only be disappointed.
