Aging Pet Beds
Heated Pet Beds
Heated pet beds are ideal for older dogs and cats that need a little extra help staying warm. While it is particularly important during chilly days and cold nights, it can be critical in air-conditioned homes when your pet is not able to warm themselves up.
Orthopedic Pet Beds
While some pets can curl up and nap or sleep anywhere, when pets age, getting up and down can be a challenge and snuggling in for a comfortable sleep even more so. Pet beds designed with more structure and memory are fantastic choices to help your pet snuggle in.
Larger breed dogs often suffer from arthritis long before it is known to anyone but your pup. They compensate by the way they walk, curl up and adjust to find a comfortable sleeping position. Choosing the right dog bed as your dog ages is really important. Choose the right size, design and material for your pet’s needs.
When choosing pet supplies for aging dogs and cats, you want to always choose washable options. You will find some pet beds are fully washable, while others have removable covers, liners and cushions. For larger dog breeds you may want to wash them at a local laundry mat with large capacity washers and dryers to ensure they are washed properly and you don’t damage your machines.

Transition playful dogs into toys that are more their speed. Chew toys with softer rubber, calming toys, licking toys and even a faux fur dog tail ball that is a lot easier on elderly pup’s teeth, but keeps them playing as much as they can.
Pet Memorial Gifts

Finding ways to memorialize our special pets, keep a part of them with us or share the grief is an important part of the process and truly helps us get through it. While we don’t ever forget, we move forward.
Wind Chimes are a wonderful pet memorial gift that are a wonderful reminder when the chimes sound as the wind breezes through them.
A framed photo is a very kind gift to give to a coworker, friend or yourself who is experiencing the loss of a dog. As time goes by the photo will have deeper and deeper meaning and provide solace.
