Place To Sleep

average 12-14 hours a day

Because of their short, thin coats, Chinese Crested Dogs do best on a plush bed. Choose a plush, padded bed that will keep you warm and comfortable. Beds made of memory foam or other soft materials are worth considering if you value your comfort.

Verify if the dimensions and shape of the bed are suitable for a Chinese Crested Dog. It has to be roomy enough for them to spread out without becoming claustrophobic. A tight garment might make children feel safe and at ease.

Place the bed in a safe, peaceful corner where your Chinese Crested Dog can get some much-needed rest and relaxation. Think about where they feel most comfortable sleeping; some dogs may favor a corner bed, while others would rather be close to their people. Pick a place that's both secure and relaxing.

Chinese Crested Dogs have trouble adjusting to drastic temperature swings because of their delicate coats. In the cooler months, make sure the sleeping room has enough ventilation and is shielded from direct sunlight, and in the hot months, provide a bed that gives insulation. In colder months, you might also use blankets or a heated bed pad to make sure they're cozy and toasty.

Maintenance and laundering: wash the blanket or coverlet often so that it remains clean and fresh. It is recommended that hypoallergenic detergents or pet-safe laundry solutions be used on Chinese Crested Dogs due to the breed's susceptibility to skin allergies. Keep the bed clean and clear of dust, debris, and anything else that might cause irritation.
