If you’ve ever walked into your bedroom to find your dog happily stretched out on your bed, you know the struggle is real. No matter how many cozy dog beds you provide, somehow your bed becomes the irresistible napping spot.
A survey from the American Kennel Club found that 45% of dog parents let their dogs sleep in bed with them at night — and small dogs are more likely to be allowed in the bed than larger dogs.
While some well-meaning neighbors might raise an eyebrow, dog trainers and sleep experts agree: there’s nothing wrong with sharing your bed with your pup.
In fact, having your best friend curled up beside you can be comforting, providing shared warmth, a sense of security, and that unmistakable feeling of love.
