3. Type of Bed and Mattress
A springy foam mattress is best. One that will last after many naps. The best choice for a dog bed is one made by Forever Friends with an orthopedic mattress.
It is good enough for humans, hair and fur can easily be removed from it and when your Shih Tzu jumps on it, it will not slide all over the floor.
This bed for Shih Tzu breeds has a u-shaped edge with a low mattress that will allow your dog to climb on it easily.
A dog that has joint or muscle aches will love this bed as it has the perfect amount of firmness for them.
Another choice is a doughnut-shaped bed also with low edges all around to make your dog feel secure and give your pet needed support for their head and neck.
The great thing about this bed is that it is machine washable with water and dirt protection. A doughnut-shaped bed also allows your dog to curl up and feel safe from predators. This is a natural reaction for them.
