Bedding For Your Golden
Bedding for your Golden Retriever is very important, as
this is where he will be spending quite a bit of time -
especially at night. The ideal bedding for your Golden
should be a natural fiber, such as wool, as wool absorbs
most moisture and will keep your companion warm. When
you get your blanket, you can try thrift stores, as they
aren’t very expensive. You don’t want to buy an
expensive blanket, for the fact that Golden Retrievers
love to chew. They can chew or tear the blanket in no
time at all, which would make an expensive blanket a
waste of money.
When bringing your Golden puppy home, he may be a little
upset having to leave his mom and the others of his
litter. The scents and memories that he come to know and
love are now being replaced with totally new ones. If
you provide a towel for your Golden to sleep with, it
may help to ease him a bit. Towels are a great way to
remind Golden puppies of their mom and their litter,
which will help them to sleep and relax.
If you are planning to have your Golden Retriever sleep
with you, you should be ready to get up in the middle of
the night and take him outside to use the bathroom. You
should keep his food and water near his bedding at all
times, so if he gets hungry or thirsty he can get what
he needs. Then, you should planning on taking him out
around an hour or so after he has eaten.
If you plan to leave your Golden Retriever outdoors,
you’ll obviously need to use a different style of
bedding. Doghouses are essential for Golden’s who stay
outdoors, as it helps to keep them warm and free of
weather. Inside of the doghouse on the other hand, most
people tend to use straw so the Golden can make a bed
out of it. You can also use a blanket or quilt as well,
so that your Golden can wrap himself up in it should he
get cold.
You can also use wooden shavings as well, as most
Golden’s tend to like them. Newspapers work good as
well, as they give your Golden something to lay on
besides a wooden floor. Although doghouses work great
for outdoor dogs, you should take your dog for walks on
a daily basis and let him join you in activities that he
finds enjoyable. This way, you can build a unique and
lasting friendship with your pet. Golden Retrievers can
quickly become the best friend you have ever had - as
long as you take care of them. Making sure that have the
proper bedding is a great place to start.
