Reason Experts Discourage Pet Owners From Letting Pets Sleep With Them In Their Bed

Many owners love having a warm and cuddly pet sleeping in their beds with them. However, some experts discourage this practice for the following reasons:

  • In the wild, the alpha dog sleeps on a higher elevation than the members of the pack.  Letting your dog sleep with you may give rise to dominance issues and may cause your dog to treat you as an equal and not the leader of the pack.
  • Another concern is hygiene. Some health problems can be transmitted from pets to humans. If your pet is harboring fleas and ticks, there is a big possibility these parasites will feed on you. Your bed (and you!) may also end up a mess especially if your pet is not yet housetrained.
  • Some people may think that these concerns are often blown out of proportion, however, what pet owners should know is that there are people who experienced some of these problems, and there is a possibility that it could happen to them too.
