Dog Baskets
Why do dogs like to sleep in dog baskets?
Dogs often feel secure in dog baskets as the raised sides help them feel protected and cozy. For shy dogs especially, having a fixed spot where they feel safe is important. The rounded shape of the dog basket fits many dogs' natural sleeping position, allowing them to curl up comfortably and relax. A dog basket also protects your dog against draughts and lightly shields them from their surroundings.
