Dog sleeping on our bed or not?

No way, not ever, YANBU
oh, little doggie on bed, look at her eyes, hoe can you be so heartless, YABU

DH wants the six month old puppy on the bed at night. I think she snores, farts, it’s unhygienic and she’s got her own bed. Don’t mind a puppy cuddle in the morning....but not all night.

Those of you who said yes to dog sleeping on your bed - out of interest, how did you vote on the 'grim carpets' thread?

My dog sleeps in the bed (under the duvet with his head on my legs normally) and our house has carpets. We also have three cats.

I'm just not one of those people who think pets are gross. The dog is washed regularly and his paws are wiped, we vacuum daily and change the bedding every week. I can't get worked up about a bit of a dog hair or slobber I'm afraid.

My old boy does now. He's 12, has dementia and sundowns a lot. Being on the bed (I lay 2 of his fleeces on top of the covers) means he is more settled and it's less time I'm having to spend in the living room at ungodly hours whilst he paces.

No way, I cant get over the thought of an un wiped or washed exposed bum hole being on my sheets or sofa for that matter, also the dog hair, dog breath, slobber and mud from their paws makes me feel grim

I adore my girl but she is not allowed upstairs, nor on beds. We visit Holiday cottages a lot and even dog friendly ones don't allow that so this makes it so much easier.

DH and I are the only ones who use our bed.

Couldn’t agree more

Our two large breeds are furniture and bed dogs. I'm not sure we ever consciously made the decision they just always were.

Given that my husband has night sweats and is the hairiest man on planet earth anyway, I can't say that the extra dog hair or slobber makes much difference as I have to change the bedding so often anyway. Maybe if I'd married someone else I'd have approached it differently hah!

Mine sleeps right at the bottom of our bed

We change our bed weekly and hoover pretty much every day. She spends vast amounts of time in muddy puddles so is bathed often. Isn’t particularly slobbery and doesn’t moult a lot. She’s wormed, flea-ed and sees the groomer regularly

She’s allowed on the sofa, she cuddles up on my lap so I don’t really see sleeping at the end of our bed as anything to get worked up about to be honest

Mine was relegated to the kitchen by DH as he thought he was old enough now to sleep alone. I miss his little snores! And now I have to get out of bed to fetch him in the morning for cuddles instead of just opening the crate door from my bed. He slept longer when I’m with us too, so we didn’t have to get up so early. Pup didn’t sleep free-range in the bedroom though as when he does he jumps on and off the bed all night and steals things to chew up.
