Is it necessary to adapt the dog and cat bed each season?

How often should you change your dog or cat's bed? Is it even necessary? Many pet owners wonder if they need to update their furry friends' sleeping space with time or seasonal changes. And of course, at Deco and Lemon, as experts in pet decor and accessories, we want to answer all your questions on this topic. Check out our new post!

Do I need to change the dog and cat bed?

Do you think a dog or cat bed lasts a lifetime? We're sorry to tell you, but you're wrong. Think about it: would you be able to sleep peacefully in the same bed for years and years? After a few years of use, it's clear that this product needs to be replaced to ensure proper rest.

Fortunately, unlike beds for humans, dog and cat beds are much more affordable. That's a plus!

Adapting the pet bed to seasonal changes

In the case of dogs, for example, when summer arrives they prefer to rest on the floor. This may be due to a bed that is too warm and unsuitable for the summer season.

For this reason, we recommend paying attention to this type of behavior and choosing models that promote heat dissipation. If you have two beds (one for the cold season and one for the warm season), your dog or cat will thank you.

The dog and cat bed will also vary according to their growth.

Obviously, another factor influencing a change in a cat or dog's bed is its size. It's not the same to buy a model for a puppy as for an adult dog. As the years go by, not only will their love and affection for your companionship grow, but so will their size.

In this sense, it adapts the rest area to its new needs.

What is the lifespan of a dog and cat bed?

There's no set date, as it all depends on how the pet uses it, as well as other factors like its weight. The location of the accessory and whether your pet plays with it, which can cause breakage, also play a role.

However, to determine if this change is necessary, inspect the bed. If it's no longer its original shape, that's the main reason to replace it. Otherwise, your pet won't rest comfortably.
