fellow dog owners! Totally get the struggle with picky eaters, I mean my pooch will straight up turn his nose up at everything… But wait till he cozies up in the ugg bed, it’s like he can’t resist it. Seems like it’s not just comfy to sleep on, my lil’ furball loves having meal times on it as well, something about feeling secure maybe? Now it’s less of trying to coax him to eat. Might work for your tribunal little pupsters too, who knows?
@GoldenRottieMomma I wasn’t too keen initially either – a bed that costs more than some of my kitchen appliances – crazy right?! But as per your advice gave this one a whirl and yep, now we’re converted! Cheers for pointing that out.
What kind of food are you all using though? Sometimes I wonder if it’s down to what we’re serving that makes munching hour such a hit n’ miss affair!
Btw any other products from UGG that are worth a shot? Nudging towards spoiling my boy a bit more.😁
Did anyone else notice their pupper getting more protective of their food once they started using the Ugg bed? Just curious if mine’s the only territorial one here. 🤔
Btw, also found out that a little sprinkle of chicken broth on my guy’s kibble gets him chowing down every single time. Tip for any other struggling parents out there! 😉
I know right! I had similar experience when I first got that UGG dog bed. My Lab, Max, was never fond of eating in his old mat. But as soon as we introduce him to this fluffy sanctury (hehe), he started guarding his food more around it! It’s crazy how a comforting environment can affect them.
If anyone is having issues with their dogs behaving aggresiveley towards their food, this can actually be a typical canine behavior called “resource guarding”. It might be worth to check it out or consult with a professional. On the brighter side, I think your pups simply love their new bed too much!
P.S. It’s not just about the eating – the Ugg Dog Bed is just so cozy. Max practically lives in it now LOL. Any other users have adorable ‘bed hogs’ on their hands? Let’s share some pics here!
Also, if you’re looking for some cost-effective alternatives, the Best Friends by Sheri Calming Shag Vegan Fur Donut Cuddler has excellent reviews too.
Just curious though, have you noticed any change in your dog’s sleep pattern after making meals a part of thier bed routine? With my Buster, he’s never slept better! Do you wash it after every meal or do you have some other clever cleaning routine? Would appreciate hearing other ideas. Agree with most that this Ugg dog bed is worth every penny for picky pups!
Got me thinking tho… for those who’s dogs like dining in bed, do you have any tips about how to prevent or clean up this mess? I tried shaking and vacuuming the bed but doesn’t quite cut it. On some level my girl probably enjoys being surrounded by a food scent 24/7 but would be nice to have a less crumby situation!
I have an ever-famished Labrador so trust me on this one, setting up feeding stations in areas away from their sleeping zone usually works better for us. You know what they say, ‘If you got breadcrumbs in your bed, you’re probably loaf-ing around a lot’. I’m not sure anyone says that actually, but it makes sense right?
Also, introducing set feeding schedules has made a big difference too – keeps my boy on his toes and helps with the separation of space (bed vs dining area).
My fur child loves his routine of having dinner in the kitchen (we got him a neat elevated feeder) and snuggling in his Ugg even more than before. Guess mealtime is not just about the food but also an experience and I’d highly recommend trying this out guys.
Anybody else had luck with keeping feeding times strict? How did you transition your furry friends into new feeding habits? Genuinly curious to hear more tips.
Now, askin’ folks whose dogs dine in bed for tips on avoiding mess…aren’t you setting yourself up for an unwinnable battle? Can anyone here realy convince thier dog not to drop munchies all over the place while feasting in their cozy Ugg kingdom? If so, do spill the magic secret! 😉
