Should you let your pet sleep with you?
Date Posted:5 August 2019
It is a controversial topic. Many people have their pets on their bed every night, others have a pet bed and some sleep outside. So what should you do?
It really is up to you, your pets and your lifestyle. Whichever you choose you will need to do this from a young age so they are used having a routine and their own safe spot to sleep in.
Benefits of your pet sleeping with you:
Many people believe that sleeping with their pet makes them feel more comfortable, and improves their quality of sleep. They are also super warm and nice to snuggle. It is proven that being near a dog actually increases your levels of oxytocin which is a hormone associated with affection and happiness.
Benefits of your pet sleeping on their own bed:
It really depends on the pet but you may get a better night sleep if your dog isn't on your bed. Some dogs are restless and may be bred for guarding. This means that they can affect your sleep quality. Some people are afraid of health issues associated with sleeping with pets. As long as your pet is protected from parasites and is relatively clean- you will be fine. If your pet likes their bed and feels safe there, it is a good idea to let them sleep there. This is handy for when you go away with your pet - you can bring their bed along so they have that safe and secure spot wherever they go.
In conclusion, it really is up to you and your pet as to what you think is best! As long as your pet is comfortable, warm and happy- they can sleep almost anywhere!
