Why do dogs scratch their beds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, getting back to bed scratching, dogs scratch their beds for a variety of reasons, including nesting, marking their territory, and leaving their scent behind. They also do it to relieve stress or simply because they enjoy digging. Read on to discover why dogs scratch their beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make a comfy nest to sleep in<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It might look strange to us, but your dog digging their bed is no different to us fluffing our pillows. Granted, they often scratch their beds up into a rather lumpy ball, but perhaps that\u2019s what they\u2019re looking for, each to their own right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cool a spot down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dogs will often scratch their beds up as a way of getting to a cool spot as that\u2019s more pleasant for them to sleep on, especially if they\u2019re long-haired or heavily coated like Huskies, Labradors<\/a>, or Labradoodles<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, like us wanting the cool side of the pillow, it\u2019s no different for dogs really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To leave their scent and mark territory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know dogs have scent glands in their paws? Now you do, and when they dig at their bed, they’re often spreading their scent to mark it as theirs. Dogs use scent to let other dogs know that this is their territory and is probably a hangover from when they became domesticated.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because they\u2019re feeling stressed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Digging<\/a> can be an obvious sign of stress in your dog’s body language<\/a>. This can show up as digging and scratching at their bed, but your dog may also scratch at carpets or the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to stop my dog from scratching their bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can help prevent your dog from scratching their bed by ensuring their needs are met and they are stress-free, providing them with a different style of bed<\/a>, more blankets, and giving them an outlet for all that digging <\/a>via a digging pit or foraging box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eliminate Stress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you think the digging behavior seems frantic or relates to stress or anxiety, then eliminate stress, teach your dog to calm down<\/a>, and provide them with a nice calm environment to live in. 
If your dog only scratches their bed when you\u2019re not at home, and is showing other signs of home-alone struggles, then check out our guides to separation anxiety<\/a>, and how long you can leave your puppy alone for<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give your dog blankets they can scuff up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your dog is really into nesting, then buy them some blankets that they can scuff up and make comfortable. Some dogs prefer this style of dog bed, we all have a particular way we like our own beds and dogs are the same.
Check out our full guide to puppy blankets<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get them a doughnut bed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some dogs really appreciate more of a nest bed, especially if they are short-haired like Frenchies<\/a>, Whippets<\/a> or Dachshunds<\/a> and feel the cold. Getting them a fluffy doughnut-style bed will help reduce them scratching at their bed and provide them with a warm comforting nest to sleep in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get them a digging pit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some dog breeds like Dachshunds<\/a> are bred to dig! It\u2019s literally in their job description. If you have a breed of dog who simply enjoys digging; it’s their natural instinct to do so, so providing an outlet for this behavior, such as a digging pit or foraging box<\/a>, will help them scratch less at their bed. You can buy a hard-sided paddling pool for kids and fill it with dirt before hiding toys<\/a>, or you can use plastic balls from a ball pit. 
We discuss making your own foraging box in our training games guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should I be worried that my dog is scratching their bed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dog who\u2019s scratching their bed is actually displaying very normal behavior<\/a>. Dogs will often scratch up dirt to reveal a cool spot, or to make the surface they\u2019re lying on more comfortable. We can\u2019t blame them for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your dog exhibits other signs of stress, such as frantically scratching their bed, licking or sucking blankets and bedding, panting or breathing quickly, or showing signs of ill health or pain, it’s worth getting them checked out by a vet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that\u2019s helped you understand why dogs scratch at their beds<\/a>, and that usually it\u2019s just a quirk of normal dog behavior.<\/a> You\u2019ll often see them spinning in circles, too, just to make sure their bed<\/a> and blankets <\/a>are to their liking. If your dog is damaging their bed through scratching, there are things you can do to help prevent it, like making sure they\u2019re not bored or stressed, giving them blankets they can happily scuff up, and giving them a scratching or digging outlet like a foraging box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No need to worry about your dog scratching their bed unless it comes on suddenly and there are other signs that your dog or puppy isn\u2019t feeling 100%. Then it\u2019s a good idea to get them to have a once over with your Vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a puppy, you\u2019ll want to learn about their sleeping habits,<\/a> or how much exercise you should give a puppy.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
