Designer Beds for the Discriminating Doggie

There are dogs, and then there are dogs. You don't have to be Paris Hilton or Britney Spears to indulge your precious pooch with some absolutely luxurious beds. Give your lovable babies some true TLC, and they'll reciprocate in turn - likely each morning, as they bathe your face with kisses, thanking you for such a good night's sleep.

And with luxury in mind, you'll certainly have no shortage of available designs out there. In fact, the latest trend is finding Fido a piece de resistance fit for the four-pawed King (or Queen) in your home.

The plethora of styles and shapes abound: There are plush, overstuffed beds, filled with goose down, to keep their bodies warm and comfy all night long, and their nozzles cool against the soft down. For extra coverage and a sense of complete security, you can also make them feel very safe with a hooded, or "canopy" bed.

If you want to go more mainstream, there are designer prints that would put Ralph Lauren or the House of Givenchy to shame. Cotton polka-dots, tie-dyed, psychedelic colors, and leopard or paisley prints are just a few from which to choose for your favorite pooch.

If your dog has a practical side but likes a little something unique at times, you might want to check out an oblong- or rounded-shape bed just to give more "wiggle room." There are teardrop- and Figure-8-shaped beds, as well, or those shaped like a big heart, for the more creative dog in your life.

Also, for substance and style, try out some of these fabrics for an oh-so-heavenly night's sleep or afternoon nap: microvelvet, suede, fleece, and wicker all provide no less than the very best for the special dog in your life.

Remember to take your dog's personality into account when shopping for his or her luxurious best in designer dog beds. Make their sleepy-time a true treat, and they'll reward you for sure.
