Whether it's because he's a puppy, or because he's gotten older, because it's cold, or because he does not like to use his mattress ... Any excuse is good to let him sleep with us. But this is good? Or is it bad?

More and more people are sleeping with their dog

It is very curious that a third of the population that has pets recognizes that they treat them as if they were small children. And it is also amazing that they take pictures as if they were our children. Not to mention the fact that they have permission to sleep in bed with their owners, regardless of age or size (of the dog and the bed).

Now, what are the risks or negative consequences of sleeping with pets (dogs in particular)?

1. Problems for health.

The dogs harbor a large number of microorganisms that can not be seen. As an example, bacteria, fungi, dust, etc. When they go out into the street, they sniff out everything that comes before them or they do their needs. Hair mites or skin particles can generate allergies at any age, and will be more dangerous in the case of allergic people. You also run the risk of getting some disease caused by a parasite (such as fleas or ticks).

In addition, while sleeping, the dog can tear or scratch and cause an infection in the wound. It is worth remembering that those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, young children and the elderly, are more prone to suffer from diseases caused by pets if they sleep with them in bed.

2. Problems in sleep.

Although it seems strange, the best way to rest is to sleep alone. And this includes people and animals. If you do not have another room to sleep apart from your partner, at least do not allow your dog to climb on the bed. The snoring, the nightmares, the movements of the other being that is next to us can impact on our quality of sleep. This is even more noticeable in those who have trouble sleeping, suffer from insomnia or are too light sleepers.

We should not ignore that animals and people have different body temperatures that descend during the night. Maybe in winter it is very nice to sleep with your dog because it gives you warmth. But remember, in summer you do not want to have that "hairball" nearby.

3. Problems in behavior

If you have not yet convinced yourself that dogs can not sleep in bed, you should think about how much the animal can suffer because of your decision. Maybe you think you are doing good by letting him get into bed, however, this is not the case. Those dogs that sleep with their owners can be more aggressive, insecure, anxious and depressed. In addition, they may want to mark their territory by urinating on the sheets.

Finally, you should not forget the conjugal or family problems that your decision may cause. The lack of privacy or space can generate discussions. Once you've read all this, do you think dogs can not sleep in bed, can they?
