Improve Comfort With Dog Bedding Accessories

It's not always clear whether dog bedding refers to the accessories you add to the basic dog bed, or whether it's just another way of describing the bed itself. In the human world, you would have the bed, and then the bedding on top of that.

But the world of dog bed furniture tends to blend one category into another. There are items that clearly fall into the "bedding" category, like dog blankets, but then there are beds that seem to morph from one category to the other. And on top of that, you also have extra accessories.

Even dog beds with frames, like the canopy bed made by Lulu Jane, a subsidiary of Orrville Pet Products (http://www.orrvillepet.com/), still often need dog bedding to make them complete.

This luxury dog bed needs the dog owner to insert a human-sized pillow into the base of the frame, to serve as the "mattress" of the canopy bed. So while the company creates the elaborate crowned frame of the basic bed, it needs extra bedding before the dog is able to sleep there.

Dog bedding may be as simple as a couple of blankets laid down as a liner in a dog crate bed, or as elaborate as the material in covers designed by www.tuffies.com, which wick moisture away to help keep the dog dry.

The bedding can be a pillow that serves as a mattress in a doggie Murphy bed or a canopy bed. The line between bed, bedding and accessories isn't always clear. But the important thing is that whatever you buy as the basic bed, and whatever you add to it afterward, will make your dog comfortable.

Ideal Pet Parrot For Your Apartment

If you live in an apartment and would really like a talking bird for a pet, then that puts you mostly in the market for a parrot, though there are a few other birds that can be trained to mimic human speech.

Keep in mind, though, that a pet parrot can get rather loud, which could become a problem in an apartment setting. However, this doesn't mean that you need to abandon the thought of a parrot altogether. There are some smaller, quieter ones that might just suit your situation.

When it comes to noise, getting the smaller type of pet parrot known as a conure may fly just on the borderline between too loud and quiet enough. Their more high-pitched voices may fall into the range of budgies, meaning that the sound wouldn't carry quite as much as with larger parrots.

These more exotic pet birds are very beautiful with their long colored tails, and they very much enjoy playing their human owners. They love learning tricks and are very affectionate.

If you do choose a smaller breed of pet parrot, you must remember that one way of keeping it relatively quiet and under control will be to socialize and interact with it on a daily basis.

Engaging in regular bird training will be part of what you need to do if you want to keep a parrot in your apartment. If you can give the time and attention needed in order for the bird to be happy and not make too much noise, then a smaller parrot may be the ideal pet for you.
