Pets and Supplies Beds and Furniture Bed Accessories Bed Liners and Mats
A bed liner or mat is a great training tool for your pets so they feel like they have their own space to lay down. It gives them a sense of their own territory that they can retreat to when they want downtime and it keeps them from taking over any space that you may not necessarily want them to take as their own, like your favorite recliner. There are a variety of liners and mats out there that come in different body sizes, materials, and styles: your dog or cat might be a denim bed pillow type of pet or might want something far more cuddly. Watch your pet to see where he or she likes to sleep, and then put the mat in that same location to ease the transition.
Choosing a Proper Bed
Size can actually be quite important in choosing your pet's bed for, if your pet feels like their bed is too big or small for their needs, they'll look elsewhere. You may want to observe how your pet usually sleeps. Does your dog like to curl up in a ball or sack out all stretched out? When your cat sleeps, does he fit himself into a nook or sprawl across your bed? Some pets like to go sleep on their own and some like to be around people when they rest. You may want to make sure your pet has one mat placed in its crate, and perhaps a portable sleeping cushion for in the living room.
