Do you let your pet sleep in your bed?

MyBlueEyes · 04-04-2008, 11:56 AM

i dont let my dog sleep in my bed cuz but that why I bought a queen size bed,and my hubby has bad allergies. So I try to keep the dander out of the bedroom.

LakeTahoe · 04-04-2008, 12:05 PM

Yep! I do let my dogs sleep on my bed! I spoils them!!

Freaky Cat · 04-04-2008, 12:21 PM

For me, it depends on how big my dog was. If the dog was huge or big, then I wouldn't. If it was small and harmless, fine.

I would still make sure that I don't spoil it too much though. I can't have a life if I let my dog control my life.

This reminds me of an episode of It's Me or the Dog that I saw last year. This woman had 2 little dogs that she spoiled too much that it got to a point where she chose her 2 dogs to sleep in her bed over her husband. At first, her husband was sleeping with her fine. When she got the dogs, she spoiled them so much that she let them bark if they wanted something. Well, they ended up barking at anyone who slept in her bed. This made her husband end up sleeping on the floor. When the dog trainer visited, she asked... "Why do you let your dogs kick your husband out of bed?" Her response? "Because I love them too much to say 'no' to them! *sobbing*"

I think it wouldn't be a good idea to let a dog sleep on the bed because of fleas, dog hair and debris all over the bed. Dogs could sometime will not get off the bed and will act like they're the boss and will bark at you if you try to get the dog off the bed. It's hard for me to sleep with a pet sleeping on the bed.

oh that is nothing with fleas.. there are FRONTLINES? ever hear of that ?? it prevent fleas and eggs. also ticks. My dog mac was allergic to flea and have to give him bath and put frontline on him every month. spray on floor and under bed make sure no fleas are around. It works.

all of the dogs i had growing up never barked at me. I always show them who is the boss? ME! not them! u have to look at them in eyes and tell them you ARE THE BOSS. not them. They will know. thats easy thing to do.. thats one of the training i had with all dogs that i had. It is not hard.

GarnetTigerMom · 04-04-2008, 07:09 PM

I grew up with dogs sleep in my bed but learn a lesson, it fine for them to lay on top of my bed for resting but not sleep with me anymore. My former two great dane broke my bed! lol ahh and later I had kasey my dog passed away last year and my dog josh living don t sleep in my bed because dog hair shed lot and pain in but to keep cleaning the hair off my bed. What more I don't want my dogs to jump on the bed and off to hurt themselves. But so far they sleep in their own doggie bed. Whew.

that you posted after seq;

im agreed with him about issues with dogs in the bed due by our experience with one dog that is very stubborn, would growl at us, and everything. even i have a very strict/firm voice that i always use with any animals that who dont listen to me. but, hes very stubborn and unhappy, we realized that it's not good for him to being with us, we decided to give him up to other family for his good. and, sometime frontlines dont always work for all of animals. just remember that same like human medicines... everything wont be work for all animals or everybody or whatever like that. seq is right about fleas, hair dander, etc like that.

i forbidden dogs to sleeping with me beccause im pregnant and who don't listen to me. i do sleep with my kittens since they wait for me to fall asleep first then they will come up on me and sleeping with me.

Mac, my dog didnt like it when I slept with my ex boyfriend. he always get in the way between us and growled.. He was jealous. I had to scold on him and tell him who is the boss. eventually he learned to like my ex bf which was good news. it is just jealously.. thats all.. You let the dog be the boss which is big NO NO. you should tell dog to get off bed and let him learn lesson and the dog will learn not to do it again. like i did with my dog Mac.

That is why i always change bed sheets every week... every day i always shake off the sheets and blankets.

I slept with dogs and cats while i was pregnant. TJ is fine.. no problems..

only bad thing is do not change cat litter box while you are pregnant as it is toxic to the fetus. better t
