Tips On Choosing Dog Bed Patterns

From the dawn of civilization, patterns have long been part of a man's daily life. From the patterns found on the walls and ceilings of the Egyptian tombs all the way to their utensils and sarcophagi; to the medieval Muslim knitting with decorative, abstract, and zigzags through more complex scroll patterns; to the Greek art whose large-scale ceramic vessels that served as grave markers - patterns have long been used as tools of communication, expression, and way of living.

In the same way that a man utilizes patterns in his everyday life, dogs, too, definitely benefit from them. Dog beds, in particular, come in a wide array of patterns, shapes, and colors: light, dark, polka, Kuba, Senna, Avar, Lore, stripes, print, round, square, rectangle, fill, reversible, couch, bolster, lounger, fleece, and others. These patterns make dog beds colorful, interesting, and fun to look at. The variations in patterns provide for a bigger number of options among dog owners who are planning to purchase a bed for their prized canine friend.

If you are having a hard time deciding on which dog bed pattern to go for, these two simple tips may help you make up your mind:

1. Go for the pattern that reflects your dog's "personality".

Who says dogs do not have an identity of their own? In much the same fashion that you are known with the clothes you wear or the mobile phone that you flaunt on the subway train, your dog's personality is mirrored on the bed that he slumbers on. As such, choose the pattern that will give people an idea of your dog's behavior or individuality.

If your dog is a brusque, assertive Rottweiler, pick the one with a dark, solid pattern. If your Chihuahua is a shy, timid type, buy one that is of neutral, conservative print. You see, it is like the case of "Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are." The bed patterns definitely speak for the kind of personality that your dog has.

2. Pick the pattern that complements the surroundings.

The key here is versatility. It should go well with any type of environment that you will put it in. Go for a dog bed pattern with a chameleon-esque attribute. You will not only save money because you have a dog bed that you can place everywhere, but you can also avert a possible eyesore – as in the case of a red, polka dot pattern on a room painted in green.

So before purchasing a dog bed for your beloved dog, remember these tips and you and your dog will surely enjoy his brand new bed.
