We could all use a bit more sleep. Your cat or dog (or other beloved animals) is no exception. Whether you’ve got a young, energetic pup that can play fetch for hours without tiring or an older, wiser cat that spends most of its time lounging on the sofa, a good pet bed is a must. In particular, older pets may develop health conditions like arthritis, so a good, supportive place to snooze can help relieve any pain associated with those ailments. Naturally, the type of bed depends a lot on the individual pet. Some models are bigger, others are smaller—you’d be hard-pressed to fit a Great Dane in a bed meant for a Chihuahua. Here, nine to suit whatever you’ve got at home.

PupRug Orthopedic Dog Bed
