We all know that dogs can be the perfect companion – so why ban them from the bedroom each night? Allowing your dog to share your bed with you can actually be beneficial and will build an even stronger bond between you and your pooch!

How will this be of benefit I hear you ask? Read on to find out.

1. Dogs Relieve Anxiety And Stress
It is a well-known fact that dogs can relieve anxiety and stress in humans. Research has shown that they can be a great therapy to those who suffer with stress and anxieties, making them feel calm and relaxed. Snuggling up with your dog in bed will make you feel calm and relaxed and will therefore help you sleep better.

2. Dogs Make Us Feel Safe
You always feel safe when your dog is with you – that’s one of the reasons many of us get a dog in the first place – to feel safe. You know that your dog is loyal, and will protect you in any situation. By sleeping with your dog by your side you will feel safe throughout the night and get a good night’s sleep.
