Waterproof Beds

I just read the phrase "waterproof dog bed," and it really got me wondering: is that a good thing or a bad thing? The answer to that question really depends on how waterproof the dog bed is. If it is safe to assume that it is as resistant to water as plastic than the question remains--is a waterproof dog bed a good idea?

First off, there is the problem of where all the liquids that come out of a dog will go if they are not absorbed by the bed. sure the bed will stay relatively clean, but now the floor is a mess, and so is the dog for that matter. But wait, if the dog is forced to reside in its own filth since the bed does not allow for absorption, then maybe it will learn to never potty on its bed again. That would be worth a few weeks of cleaning the floor.

So go get your pooch a personalized dog bed that will make them fall in love. Also, make sure that it is waterproof so you can both avoided messes. Your dog will thank you when it gains better control of its bladder, and thus finally feels like a truly adult animal.
