When it comes to keeping your dog calm, the material of their bed matters. Many pet owners now choose faux fur dog beds for anxiety relief, but how do they compare to traditional dog bed materials like cotton or canvas? Let’s break it down.

1. Why Faux Fur Calms Dogs

A calming dog bed with faux fur:

• Mimics the warmth and softness of a mother’s coat
  

• Creates a safe, nest-like feeling
  

• Helps reduce anxiety and restlessness
  

• Encourages deep, restful sleep
  

Dogs naturally seek out soft, plush textures. Faux fur dog beds work by triggering that instinctive sense of security.

2. Traditional Materials: Pros and Cons

Common options include cotton, canvas, and polyester.

• Pros: durable, easy to clean, often affordable
  

• Cons: less sensory comfort, may not calm anxious dogs
  

A traditional dog bed is great for outdoor use or heavy-duty needs, but it often lacks the plush comfort of faux fur.

3. Extra Benefits of Faux Fur Beds

Premium options like the Dogslanding™ Calming Dog Bed combine faux fur with supportive features:

• Memory foam base for joint and muscle relief
  

• Extra bolsters for head and neck support
  

• Waterproof liners to protect against accidents
  

• Machine-washable covers for easy cleaning

5. Which Should You Choose?
