Animal expert settles debate on whether you should let dogs sleep in your bed – The Mirror
While some dog owners train their pets to sleep in their own space downstairs, others encourage them to climb onto their own bed with them for the night. It has sparked a debate on social media as users answer: "Do you let your dog sleep in your bed? Why or why not?"
In response, one user said: "Our dog is crate trained, but we let her in the bed to get her ready for bed. Then around 20-30 minutes later, she usually hops off and stands in front of her crate, looking back like, 'I'm ready now!' Building that routine helped with her trusting us when we adopted her." Another user added: "Got a king size bed so we're extra comfy too! Like someone else said, life is too short and crappy to not snuggle in bed with your dog.
"Plus, it really helps with my anxiety. My dog helps me feel safe and also helps reduce my stress at night when he cuddles his butt to my face and begs for scratchies.
"I will add, I do clean my dog extra well before we turn in, don't need a dirty dog in my bed! I am single, can't say what will happen if I ever couple up, but I am going to assume if my partner can't sleep in bed with me and my dog, then relationship won't last."
A third user said: Love my dog but I find it incredibly unsanitary with the hair, slobber, and butt licking. I can’t do it, too much of a clean freak.
