Our dog sheds like crazy but he looooves sleeping in bed with us. I can't take that away from him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed/page/2#post-1861808 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 22:59:11 +0000 Iced Tea 1861808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we have a one year old lab who has never been allowed on the bed and she respects that. Ideally, I wish she could sleep elsewhere happily and join us on the bed only when I wanted. There isn't really enough space for her to join us, but I'd like the cuddles sometimes. Trainers say that's usually too confusing for them, so we stuck with the no-bed rule. My husband said he let her on when I was out of town, but she didn't stay long, probably because she prefers a cool place to sleep. She seems quite happy now sleeping nearby in our bedroom. Her favorite place to rest is on her kuranda bed (see pic). </p> <p>I ultimately decided to allow her on the couch for cuddling purposes. When she is shedding I cover the couch with a blanket to make fur removal easier. </p> [attach=5302/14/nbvhqp.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1861737 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:21:23 +0000 AnneBird 1861737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! In fact, I am writing this right now with my 60 pound black dog napping beside me. We tried to keep him off our furniture, but that didn't last... and he is an excellent cuddler! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860220 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 11:31:45 +0000 charmed 1860220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, our cats are. They're both black and shed a ton, but I've just gotten used to having a bedspread covered in fur :bummed:<br /> I do vacuum/lint roll it frequently. We have a pin tucked comforter that is gray, and it does a good job of camouflaging the hair in between cleanings.<br /> I throw a plain white sheet over the bed in the spare bedroom so I don't have to wash/clean that one as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860141 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 11:04:37 +0000 Tanjowen 1860141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no. My Lab is huge, snores, and if you touch him I swear a hundred black hairs fall off. Both dogs sleep downstairs in the kitchen on their own beds. </p> <p>Besides, my bedroom is upstairs, and my husband leaves for work 4 days a week straight. If someone breaks in, I want the first thing they confront to be an 80 lb. dog barking at them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860132 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:59:13 +0000 sorrycharlie 1860132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooo way. He sheds way too much. And I have to lint roll or vac the sides of the sheets before washing anyway, hell if I'm doing the whole bed, lol! The wash doesn't remove the hair just spreads it around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860119 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:54:38 +0000 MrsBrewer 1860119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. The dogs at night sleep in their kennels, but both cats sleep on the bed with us. In the morning though we let the dogs out to go potty, and then I normally climb back in bed, and they come up too (one is 90 lbs, and the other is 50 lbs) hahahah we have a full bed, but like others, I wash our bedding weekly, and we use a furminator on all of our pets. I just deal with the fur. I love our snuggles in the morning too much to give that up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860107 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:49:30 +0000 avivoca 1860107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I have two cats, you really can't keep them off anything. The dog is only allowed on the bed if it is storming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860092 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:41:17 +0000 coopsmama 1860092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a pet currently but definitely not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860087 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:39:28 +0000 blackbird 1860087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cats are allowed on the bed. I brush them and get them professionally groomed. They really don't shed that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860078 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:35:40 +0000 tillma 1860078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was younger and single I liked having my dog in bed with me but now that I am a mom and married I dont like the lack of room or the fur everywhere (nothing like being worried your child will cough up a fur ball someday lol) so she isnt allowed in bed. My little pup is getting old now so it is probably for the best anyway.<br /> As for keeping things clean it is a constant battle. I only buy washable items and I vacuum like crazy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860069 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:30:19 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1860069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog sleeps right in the middle of us in bed :happy: he isn't really a shedding and his hair repels dirt so it's never been an issue thankfully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860059 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:25:44 +0000 Boheme 1860059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, nope, nope! Our big dog sheds a ton, and our two littles need to be kenneled at night because they'll have accidents if they're not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860021 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:09:29 +0000 twodoghouse 1860021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but he usually only cuddles for a few minutes and then goes and gets on his sofa. I think he does sleep there when we aren't home though. He's a big furry dog. We just wash the sheets a lot. We get our comforter dry cleaned a lot which is a PITA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860020 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:09:29 +0000 Ra 1860020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. They aren't allowed upstairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860017 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:06:28 +0000 MapleMoose 1860017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, our dog has a crate and bed that is just for her. We trained her that she isn't allowed on any furniture. She's a huge shedder so I vacuum the floors everyday, sometimes twice a day. LO is mobile now and I've had to come to terms with the fact that my LO is going to end up somewhat of a furball by the end of the day. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860012 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 10:04:29 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1860012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: well she is gray and white! so gray bedding would show white hair and white bedding would show gray hair.</p> <p>it drives me crazy. i can't stand the hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860004 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:59:50 +0000 Dandelion 1860004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't sleep with us, but they're allowed on during the day. We make the bed so that the top is a blanket we don't sleep with, so we just remove it at bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860001 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:59:10 +0000 yoursilverlining 1860001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, our cat sleeps on the bed (except if it's really hot out). I can judge how cold the bedroom is by her sleeping position; in fall she sleeps on my feet/ankles or between my knees. In winter she sleeps between my thighs lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1860000 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:58:33 +0000 MediaNaranja 1860000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dogs definitely sleep on the bed, but they have their own blankets. They love to snuggle right up next to you, and on cold mornings they always go under the covers. They don't shed though, so it's not a huge issue. Plus, I love cuddling with them in bed...sometime more than my husband :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1859993 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:55:51 +0000 stiletto_mom 1859993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes my cats are. They have a cat tree that they spend most of their time on. But as of late, I've been developing bad allergies, so we've removed the tree. There is no where else comfortable for them, so I let them on the bed. Halfway through the night, it can get cold, so my senior cat likes to come under the blankets with me.</p> <p>Shedding is a big issue. In the summer, I take them out for frequent brushing and wash my blankets and sheets regularly.</p> <p>I clean the cat tree by using a squeegee to get all the fur before vacuuming. =)</p> <p>In the future, I'd likely keep the cats out of the room during the day, but allow them to come in at night. I keep my PJs and lounge clothes separate (in drawers) from my regular work/nice clothes to avoid fur. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1859988 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:54:13 +0000 Snowdrop 1859988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: getting bedding the same colour as your pet haha. We have a White dog and White bedding, there probably is hair but we can't see it. She is always spotlessly clean though because she gets so dirty on walks she has more baths than I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1859982 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:52:33 +0000 snowjewelz 1859982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No except for thunderstorms; she needs physical human contact for those times! I can't afford to have her shed all over my sheets, plus she loves licking her feet/butt and leave stains! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1859981 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:52:30 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1859981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not technically, but they do sneak up sometimes when we're not looking. We have dog hair everywhere and it's just part of our life now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1859977 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:49:53 +0000 lemondrop 1859977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they are allowed on the foot of the bed, but not in or around the pillows. I use a spray bottle to keep them from going where we don't want them. We bought a Target quilt as a pet cover for over the duvet and pillows and I wash that weekly. Everything else I stretch out longer to wash. All pets get brushed with the Furminator a couple times a week, which helps a ton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1859975 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:49:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1859975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. They have their own beds. Only on special occasions are they allowed on the bed (like a thunderstorm). We don't let them on the couch either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1859974 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:49:39 +0000 spaniellove 1859974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog sleeps on our bed, although I had to get a quilt from West Elm that has a texture that does a better job of not attracting dog hair.<br /> <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/lexington-quilt-and-shams-b549/?pkey=cquilts-blankets&#038;cm_src=quilts-blankets" rel="nofollow">http://www.westelm.com/products/lexington-quilt-and-shams-b549/?pkey=cquilts-blankets&#038;cm_src=quilts-blankets</a>||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-pets-allowed-on-your-bed#post-1859972 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:47:58 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1859972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes she was but she didn't she'd that much.
