How Calming Beds and Blankets Can Help Your Dog

Some dogs just don't seem to have an off switch.

Hypersensitive dogs will show obvious signs of anxiety because once they're triggered, it seems impossible to bring them back to calm.

Your dog might shake or whine when you leave the house, hide and cower at loud noises, or even become destructive if you can't find a way to help them relax and turn off that go-go-go switch.

However, there are ways to help your dog relax naturally and, over time, learn to soothe themselves. Two ways to help them find the peace and relaxation they need are calming beds and weighted blankets.

Calming beds work because of their nest-like design that cuddles your dog when they lay down. Their donut shape and cradling effect give dogs a sense of security as they had as puppies while nestled in with their littermates and mother.

As with humans, weighted blankets provide warmth, but they also apply weight to the body's deep pressure nerve receptors. Under pressure, these nerves activate and go into the rest and digest mode.

When this part of the nervous system is activated, everything slows down and gradually allows the anxious and hypersensitive nerves to shut off.

The Original Calming Bed comes in different sizes, so check out our website to decide the right one for your dog. If the bed is too big or too small, it won't have the right effect to help your dog snuggle in and feel its gentle embrace.

The ideal weighted blanket to start with should be approximately 10% of your dog's body weight. You'll want to test it out on your dog slowly for short periods to see their response.

You can gradually increase the weight of the blanket until you find the one that works perfectly to help your dog find that peaceful rest they need.

If your dog experiences situational anxiety due to separation from you, loud noises, or they want your attention and affection constantly for reassurance, chances are, calming beds and blankets will help alleviate their stress.

The Importance of Exercise for Your Dog

Your dog needs exercise at every stage in their life. The amount of exercise has many variables, including age, breed of dog, and health. The best place to start when deciding on the proper workout for your dog is doing your research. However, let's start with some basics to help you on your way.

Puppies generally want to play a lot, but it's best to break up that playtime into short bursts several times a day since they're still small. Since puppies love to chew, getting some sturdy chew and tug toys are great for puppies.

They'll work out that need to chew hand in hand with burning off all that puppy power! Puppies are notorious for following us everywhere. While potty training, allow your puppy to chase you around the yard a few times after doing their business before going back inside.

You can even start fetch and leash training with your puppy and reward them with love and treats. After your puppy playtime, always offer water and a cozy bed as puppies tend to nap a lot.

Young adult dogs have plenty of energy to burn, and this is the best time to get them started on some more learning-involved play.

Fetch may seem like a natural dog thing to do, but most dogs require a bit of training and encouragement. If you have space, you can even set up an agility course for your dog.

These activities aren't just great exercises; they build confidence in your dog, which helps ward off boredom and anxiety.

The more engaged your dog is in play, the more they'll feel as if they have a job or a purpose, leading to a happier, more relaxed, and confident dog.

As your dog begins to age, his energy level will usually lower. Let your dog lead the way as they get older, and they'll let you know when enough is enough.

Although many dogs remain spry in their golden years, some prefer more leisurely activities like casual walks in the park or even a little swim time as swimming is much gentler on aging joints.

Whatever your activity with your dog, spending time with them, allowing them to run, sniff, and explore, and giving lots of praise and love will create a bond that lasts your dog's lifetime.

Small dogs experience a unique set of emotional and physical issues.

From heightened anxiety levels to wobbly kneecaps and a decreased tolerance for cold, your small breed dog faces a unique variety of problems.

Small breed dogs tend to feel more anxious and exhibit more aggression compared to big breeds. If your lil’ cutie trembles when friends come to visit or hides under the bed during thunderstorms, she’s exhibiting signs of fear and anxiety.

Small breed dogs are also prone to a painful joint condition called patellar luxation, which causes their kneecaps to move out of place.

And even if they don’t have any anxiety or pain, small dogs tend to be sensitive to cold, meaning that winter weather can make them shivery and uncomfortable.

Whether your dog deals with separation anxiety, is scared of thunderstorms, or just needs a place to put up their paws, the Original Calming Bed is a refuge of comfort day after day.
