Bedding requirements for your Golden Retriever are a high priority in your dog’s list, considering the amount of time he is destined to spend at such location. The ultimate bedding scenario for your Golden Retriever should be a natural fiber, such as wool, as wool absorbs most moisture and will keep your puppy or adult dog in a warm and cozy spot. The next step would be to shop for a blanket, which you could find at thrift stores at a very low price. Considering the fact that Golden Retrievers love to chew on whatever they can find, try not to buy a very expensive blanket, it may need to be replaced within a short period of time.
In the event that you have decided for a puppy Golden Retriever, keep in mind that he might be a little upset about leaving his mom and others in the litter behind. Dogs become accustomed to the scent and feel of his surroundings, and taking them home represents an abrupt change in their lifestyle. A good idea to help with the transition would be to give the puppy a towel you are not to fond of. Towels will remind him of his previous ambiance, keep him warm and give him something to chew on. If you are planning to keep the puppy next to you at night, you should be prepared for messy accidents unless you are ready to run out side as often as required to start him off in his house training. Try to keep his belongings as well as his needs close to his bedding spot. Such things as his feeding bowl and toys shouldn’t be hard to reach. Except for the space destined for potty training, this spot should not be too close to where the puppy sleeps, since most dogs are uncomfortable with potty near where they sleep.
On the other hand, if your newly arrived Golden Retriever will be sleeping outside, he will most likely require completely different bedding arrangements. Pet owners, who wish to keep their dog outside, will need to consider a dog house that keeps the animal warm and protects him from the weather. A common choice among pet owners is to put straw inside the dog house, so as to let the dog arrange it in the form of a bed. You could also look into replacing the straw with a quilt or cheap blanket, which serves the same purpose. Golden retrievers also seem to like shavings instead of the straw or blanket option; this is also another option to complete the outside bedding arrangement. In extreme cases where nothing else seems to be available, you could opt for the newspaper option; these can also keep the animal warm at night and beat the cold floor anytime.
Although comfortable bedding arrangements provide your dog with a better quality of life, pet owners should also make an effort to walk their dogs outside from time to time. This activity not only provides your dog with better health, it also tightens your relationship with him. With some care and attention Golden Retrievers can become a loving member of any family very fast, providing your dog with proper bedding is a great place to start.
