Enhanced Comfort: Providing a comfortable resting place for your dog can improve their overall well-being. Orthopedic dog beds, for instance, offer support that can alleviate joint pain.
How it Helps
- Joint Support & Comfort: Mats provide a cushioned surface that reduces pressure on joints, especially for senior dogs or those with arthritis.
- Better Sleep Quality: Comfortable surfaces improve sleep, leading to better mood, energy, and overall well-being for dogs.
- Prevention of Skin Issues: Mats made of breathable, washable materials help prevent skin infections caused by bacteria buildup.
Statistics & Studies
- According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, 20% of adult dogs and 80% of senior dogs suffer from arthritis, which can be alleviated with proper bedding.
- Dogs sleep an average of 12–14 hours per day, and poor bedding can lead to restlessness (National Sleep Foundation).
- A Veterinary Dermatology study found that dogs using clean, washable mats had 30% fewer bacterial skin infections compared to those using non-washable materials.
