It’s not always clear whether dog bedding refers to the accessories you add to the basic dog bed, or whether it’s just another way of describing the bed itself. In the human world, you would have the bed, and then the bedding on top of that. But the world of dog bed furniture tends to blend one category into another. There are items that clearly fall into the “bedding” category, like dog blankets, but then there are beds that seem to morph from one category to the other. And on top of that, you also have extra accessories.

Some bedding for dogs is as simple as a bunch of blankets. If that’s the sort of bed your dog likes, then you can get these at places like the Salvation Army or other second hand stores. You don’t necessarily have to get elaborate with them, especially if you use them mainly to line the dog’s crate or to cover furniture. Yet many websites or stores where there are dog beds for sale will also have blankets, throws, and variations on them, designed especially for your dog. Some specially created blankets may have inserts for heating pads, or might be designed to wrap and towel off the dog after a bath.

But you can also buy custom dog beds that sit halfway between the definition of beds and dog bedding. These can come in fairly flat mat form, but then you have a product like the Faux Fur Trundle Bed, found at places like the Glamour Dog (www.glamourdog.com) website. This is a pet bed that is close to sphere-shaped, with a large hole in the top that allows your dog to burrow inside to snuggle and sleep if it wants, making itself a little nest. Or the bed can be flattened out so the dog can sleep on top of a plush double layer.

Some special designs of dog bedding will be functional and others will just be ornamental. You probably won’t find a practical use for the feather boa that decorates the edges of a dog bed tent, yet the cover on the bed inside it might be able to wick moisture away so a wet dog won’t stay that way. Dog bed furniture will come with different designs and different types of bedding. As long as your dog is comfortable and you’re happy with the look and function of the bed, the different bedding configurations aren’t ultimately that important.
