1. It is very important for you to notice how your dog sleeps before making any purchases. Not all dogs sleep the same way and if you don't get a bed that matches their preferences, you will find that they don't use it at all. So, if your dog rolls into a ball and presses its back against something while sleeping, then it would be ideal to choose a bed that has raised sides.
2. If you are living in an extremely cold or hot climate, you need to take that into account while buying dog beds as well. Getting a bed that has raised sides will be nice for a dog in colder climates so that it can help to retain heat. And in warm climates, dogs will prefer sleeping on a bed without sides so that they can stretch out while sleeping. If your pet sleeps outside the house then you can consider getting heated beds for it. Raised dog beds are great in warmer climates as well since they allow cool breeze to pass below your dog.
3. If you have a large breed dog which hasn't grown fully yet then you should take into account how much your dog will grow in the future while buying the bed. Don't buy a small bed that suits your puppy. It's only going to outgrow the bed in a few months. While measuring the size your dog, remember to take the measurement from the tip of the tail to the fore legs and add a few inches to it. This will ensure your dog has enough space to sleep.
4. You also need to look at the durability of the dog bed before buying it. Carefully check what the frame is made out of and whether there are any precautions in place to prevent rusting. Check the material used to make the cover as well. Irrespective of whether you are choosing a dog bed for inside the house or outside, ensuring you get a good durable bed is the only real way you can ensure you do not have to spend more money on it for years to come.
