I started transitioning my Chocolate Lab, Bruno, onto a new diet while getting him cozy with this bed – killed two birds with one stone, right? The Yeti bed seemed to calm him down – must be that ultra-soft padding they boast about – making food trials much less hectic.
Agreeing with some posts here about the price being a bit steep though! Anyone else tried similar lux beds but kinder on pocket? Our fur buddies deserve the comfort, but man….does my wallet suffer XD
Now as for food… we actually noticed she started gaining some weight since getting the bed. Probably due to all that extra loungin’ time and less playin’, haha! It took us a bit of trial and error to find the right balance. But let me tell ya, reducing her kibble servings and tossing in some low-cal veggies (think green beans or pumpkin) helped maintain her figure.
Have any of you guys faced this? How did you find a healthy balance between food and rest for your dogs?
However, despite the high quality, I wouldn’t exactly recommend feeding your past on it. It kind of defeats the harmony of the bed being a place for relaxation. Plus, meal spills could be harsh on the fine fabric – trust me, we had an unfortunate incident with some leftover steak bones.
But for occasional treats or kibbles? Oh sure, no harm done! Thoughts anyone else?
Now about smaller versions…I reckon teacup breeds totally deserve the royal treatment too! Maybe they’ll release something soon? But honestly speaking it already feels cozy enough even for our cat who’s been sneaking naps on it. So maybe give the existing ones a try? You never knw, your little guy might just love it as much as my pupper does. Anyhow, happy dog parenting y’all! Remember, a comfy dog is a happy dog. 😉
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.
What really got me curious is.. does anyone else’s dog get their food crumbs all over the Yeti bed? Mine literally eats his meals there, no idea why! How do you guys clean it? The fabric’s been holding up pretty good so far but I’m a bit wary about long-term effects of this newfound dining habit. Any tips or tricks on cleaning would be helpful!
annd heck yeah, consistency is so important. My pup was a finicky eater, but keeping his feeding schedule on lock helped him realise mealtime isn’t an on-off thing anymore. Sometimes those lil’ hiccups we let slip in thier routine can cause a tidal wave of trouble, amirite? Tell me about your experiences though… what kind of “hiccups” have you dealt with?
About the old t-shirt trick – totally works like a charm! I’ve also used an old sweatshirt of mine on chilly nights. Acts like a bit of a warm hug for our furry friends.
But here’s an idea: why not try a heated blanket? There are pet-safe ones out there really work well during winter months. Plus, they come wtih safety features that automatically switch off after a certain period. Has anyone tried these yet? jsut curious to know if you guys had any experience with them.
Just chimin’ in here – my Terrier mix has a Barney bed that’s held up pretty darn well for about a year now (knock on wood haha). She’s a little on the lighter side though, so maybe the weight of our pups has an impact? For those having trouble with durability, have you thought about checking out the “PoochPlanet” line? definately found them to be sturdy, plus they are eco-friendly which is always a win in my book.
Folks who’ve tried PoochPlanet, how’d it go for your pups?
