Whoever has a dog will surely have wondered many times if their dog he is really comfortable sleeping on the floor or, really, you need a very soft bed to rest on. Well, today we wanted to focus on the first of the questions and, above all, resolve some basic questions as if it is bad that they do so.
The first thing we have to be clear about is that if our dogs sleep on the floor is because they are comfortable. In fact, some experts suggest that really prefer harder surfaces to sleep and, therefore, on some occasions we find behaviors as curious as that they prefer the floor to those beds that we have bought them. In that case, it is a matter of that bed not conforming to their sleeping positions and it is more comfortable for them to do so in another place such as the floor.
On the other hand, many times we will see them sleeping on the floor because they are hot. It is, therefore, a way of coping with heat waves and it is not uncommon to see dogs lying on the ground loose in summer because it is cooler, lIt serves as a way to self-regulate your body temperature.
But the opposite is also true. In winter we often see them sleeping on the ground in areas under which the heating ducts and are warmer.

Seen which, the only “risks” to which they can be exposed are merely hygienic. Not only because being on the floor they stain more than normal, but the floor can contain germs, bacteria and other dirt that we bring from abroad and that they can drag on their hair, snout and others. Therefore, if our dog is one of those who prefers the floor to a nice bed, it would be best if we always kept that space clean and avoid any possible greater evil.
In any case, we do not have to worry about our dog sleeping on the floor, and if we want him to do so in a bed that we have bought him and we cannot get it, we may have to change it because it does not fit his postures. If we still don’t get it, it is better that we simply bet on a rug or a blanket on the floor with which they will have happy dreams and we will create a perfect space for our pet.
