How to Choose Bedding For Puppy Dogs

Getting a new puppy is exciting and purchasing the right accessories for your puppy can make the experience even better. Bedding may be one of those accessories that may be overlooked as far as the importance of choosing the correct right type from the very beginning.

Puppies are learning new skills at this time, so setting them up to develop good habits is important. As harmless as it may seem, choosing soft bedding for your puppy may not be the best idea. There are puppies who can be left unsupervised around soft bedding, but the majority cannot. Since the bedding is soft and appealing, many will instinctively to start to chew on it. Not only does it make mess, but it is harmful to the puppy if ingested and he can't get the bedding out. Depending on the size of what the dog swallows, it can also lodge itself in its throat.

Not only is soft bedding appealing for chewing purposes, but it may also be appealing for potty purposes. Since the bedding is comfortable, soft and warm, some puppies will not bother to get up and warn their owners that they need to go. They will just go where they are.

The most recommended bedding for your new puppy is a crate with nothing in it. Dogs actually do not mind sleeping on hard surfaces as people may think. As harsh as it may sound, it is the most practical choice to get your puppy started off on the right foot.

What will kill feas on your 10 week old puppie?

If your puppy has fleas then you have a problem that spreads further than the fleas you can see on your puppy. Fleas suck blood form you puppy then jump off into the beading (and your house) that your puppy uses to lay eggs. These eggs hatch into little grubs that live of the debris (skin flakes etc.) in the bedding then when they get big they pupate in crevices in the floor etc before hatching out again as fleas. This means that to get rid of your flea problem you have to get rid of all the stages of the flea. The best defense is to throw out the dogs bedding (and get new), and vacuum the area/house to get up as many of the pupa as possible. You can then turn to the fleas on the dog. The puppy is very young to use chemicals (unless you get them from the vet) so try catching all the fleas with a flea comb twice a day. Stick the fleas you catch into soapy water. After a time of regular vacuuming, shaking the new doc bedding outside each day and catching the fleas on your puppy, the infestation should go away. However if your dog socializes with other dogs he will get more fleas so keep a good eye out for them.
