Letting Your Dog Sleep on Your Bed: Terrible Idea or Personal Preference?

03.23.2021 by Girl on Fire // Leave a Comment

If you have a dog, chances are you’ve let them sneak up on your bed for the night. Sleeping next to their pup gives most people a sense of safety and security. It’s fun to have the dog on the bed, and they’re so cute when they snuggle up next to you or under the blankets. However, there’s just one drawback: dogs shed. And, they smell. Okay, okay, two drawbacks. So what’s the solution?

Send Your Pup to the Groomer

If you want to have your dog sleep on your bed without the shedding, hair, and smell, schedule regular dog grooming for shedding to keep your home (and sheets!) pet hair-free. When you get your dog groomed, it keeps them happy, and you happy, too. If you suffer from allergies, letting your dog up on your bed for the night can aggravate them. Pet dander is one of the leading causes of allergies and can be very irritating to the lungs and sinuses. Getting your dog groomed can help fix the pet dander issues you may be having.

What Are Some Benefits of Getting Your Pup Groomed Regularly?

The first and most obvious advantage of getting your dog groomed is better hygiene and smell. Dogs love to roll in disgusting and smelly things, so taking them to a groomer to get a professional trim and bath works wonders. A clean dog is a happy dog, and a happy dog has a happy owner. Here are some of the benefits of getting your dog professionally groomed:

  • Better smell and hygiene
  • Shiny, clean coat and less shedding
  • Check and treat for fleas and ticks
  • Reduces the chance of your pup getting sick
  • Keeps their nails trimmed to a proper length
  • Keeps your dog in better overall health
  • Eliminates fur balls, hair, and dander around your home
  • It makes them look great

As you can see, grooming your dog is a huge help, especially if you want to let your pup come under the covers with you at night. There are some definite benefits to allowing your canine friends to snuggle up next to you at night, even if you two have different sleep schedules.

It’s Super Comfy

Letting your pup squeeze between the sheets with you is one of the comfiest ways to fall asleep. Even the rhythmic sound of your dog’s breathing or snoring is comforting and lulls you gently off to sleep. When you’re more comfortable at night, you get better sleep and wake up feeling more refreshed and rejuvenated.

They’re Warm and Cozy

Another benefit of sleeping next to your dog is that they’re cozy and warm. No matter how big or small a dog is, they all seem to have that innate ability to snuggle up next to you in just the right spot. Yes, dogs make excellent pillows and foot warmers.

It Benefits Your Dog

When you let your dog up on the bed with you, it makes him feel loved and appreciated. Every dog owner has a close bond with their pup-;so you know how happy they are to be close to you, especially at night. Part of being in your pack is lying close to you when it’s time to go to bed so they can protect you.

You Feel Much Safer

When you have your dog right next to you in bed, you feel much safer. Having a dog there to protect you makes you feel much safer and more protected. Even little dogs make excellent alarms and will usually alert you if something is amiss. When you feel safe and secure, you get better sleep, too.

The Verdict: Go With Your Gut

When it comes to letting your dog sleep on your bed, it’s your decision. If you love your dog and want to be close to them at night, then, by all means, save them a spot on your bed. However, if you are going to let your dog on the bed, be sure to get them groomed regularly to avoid shedding, excess hair, and pet dander all over your sheets. With a clean and fresh-smelling pup, you’ll be all too happy to let them jump up on your bed and snore right alongside you every night.
