Just wanna ask...is it good/healthy to have dogs sleeping with u in a room?
Well, I've been sleeping with my dane and basset for more than a year now. And of course when my parents/parents in law come over to stay with us, they will make hell lot of noise! Asking us to leave the dogs outside as breathing their hair is not good!
So just wonderin, is there any health information on this issue?
I believe a lot of members here are keeping their dogs indoor.... what do u think?
i think it's really no good for those with asthma... not too sure. anyway, ur dane and basset should be short hair, probably not as serious as having long haired dogs sleeping together!
imagine the tiny hair flyin' around in the room everyday for so many hours. we probably breathed in lots of 'em...
I'm not too sure about the "healthy" coz I think it's subjective. Maybe if your furkids had long fur and shed a lot it would be unhealthy or if one of your have breathing problems (eg. sinus). My doctor advised me against this but since both your furkids are short haired and you haven't had any trouble so far.. Why not?
I sleep with Ah Kow and the only health hazard that I've experienced so far is her kicking and snoring. She often tries to push me off the bed too!
Hai Elly, finally got member post this question! last time i already asking other member too! My mum also not allow i sleep with my furkids. So she keep on update the news with me " u still sleep with ur dog ??" . The only thing i can do " no lah!!" But i ask the Vet Dr b4, he tell me beter dont cos we not sure K9 will carry any bateria for human !! so how ?? any idea ~~~ AsHLeY ~~~
I dont think it is good to sleep with the dogs. Imagine all the furs flying about in your room. You can even notice if you dont vacuum your room for few days, you can finds their furs everywhere, on top of cabinet, everywhere. So if you have them in the room, you can imagine how many of their tiny furs are in your lung by now. Of course unless you are free to vacuum everyday.
Aiyaya, so many people object the idea ahhh? I sleep with Trivor everynight... So far ok-lahhh. we are in the same room, not same bed. She loves to sleep on the balcony, cooler qua?? I have a sensitive nose, I sneeze every morning, but it doesn't worsen with the fur... Yes, agree with alot of fur flying around. I have to mop the floor every alternate day and clean my bed sheet every week ... give and take mahh...
not only the hair..but the smell as well. Both side of my parents totally against on it.
But of course we dont care so much lah..
Both my furkids sleep on their own mattresses with pillows and blankets. But then, the hair is all over the place!
I did try once to put both of them outside the house. Lady (my dane) non-stop kicking the front door.., door also almost "runtuh" and is so noisy! but we just ignored them.
Guess what happen the next morning....??? Both of them chewed my hubby's car bumper..~ Hubby got so mad...from then on, we never put them outside loh~.
Tell me about snoring...~ My fatty basset snorrrrrr! Sometimes have to kick her then she'll stop snoring... sigh...guess is definately not a good idea to sleep with dogs huh?
same here...everytime when my mum calls, I will sure tell her am no longer sleeping with the dgos. kekekkekekeke...
I will keep them outdoor next time when I move to another place. Get them a nice separate room with fan/aircond. what to do? they are my daughters mah...
of course am not that free to vacuum everyday.. what I do is to change my bedsheet, pillow case, bolster case, quilt cover every 2 weeks.
But I still like the idea of them sleeping together with me as my hubby is not at home most of the time. At least u know there is somebody with you in the room. but of course sometimes if middle of the night, out of sudden they growl or bark...~ sure scared the shit of of me one...as though there is "intruder"...yyyiiiiiiiiiii, scared, scared~
Hi Elly, my ginger (chihuahua) she wont sleep outside alone may be from puppy until today she never sleep ourside. When is bed time, i just say " ger, go oui oui lia!! " she will faster run to my bed and chooice a good fong shui place.
If i let her sleep outside the whole night i need to wake up cos she will cry and kick the door like ur sasha and ladies!
My shitzu i only give her sleep with me when raining time, cos she scare thunder.
When u move to other place they also will follow u, i dont think they can sleep alone.... that time they will cry and kick the door !! ~~~ AsHLeY ~~~

i have my dogs sleep in the living room...even then the place is full of furs. I have to vacuum every alternate day. My sisters look at me and started to shake their heads...what to do....smile. They are like my children in fact better than my children for they dont argue with me...hahahah
Good question. I'm not sure abt the hair thingy but come to think of it.... there is some sense into what they are saying lar.
I have sensitive nose (sinus) but the reason why Mocha and Summer is not sleeping with me is because my house is double story and the stairs is those with lubang in between.
I'm more worried of their safety esp when they love to jump around. I have this phobia that they will fall down while jumping up the stairs and break their leg or worst still die due to the height from the fall.
So, now they sleep in the kitchen lor.... I doubt that even with my own home next time I will allow them to sleep with me in the bedroom as I have sinus lor...
That's a very good question actually.. me and lulugurl don't mind Jaz hoping up our bed and mingle around our sheets.... but my mom will go crazy and dad would chase Jaz out... so whenever Jaz tries to 'charged' into our room, she will check-check and see if my mom or dad is around before she RUNS in to the room and settle herself down on Eve's bed... .. I think it's not advisable to sleep together as mentioned :
my dad is also against on Hunter sleeping in my room (it's also closed and air conditioned). he is smell-free, but the problem is the hair.
at night at 2am or so i'll go downstairs to set Hunter free (he is always locked backyard by my dad) and sneak upstairs with him to my room quietly... have to put a stuff ribena berry toy in his mouth to soften the breathing sound :/
hehe. good thing ur dogs end up inside the house anyway. wouldn't want the four car tyres chewed off the next morning~~~~
Well Biscuit sleeps on our bed...has been sleeping with me ever since he was about 5 mths old....last time our family dogs, they used to sleep with me too...and yeah parents were against it...mum made sure the dog was outside the room when it's time to go to bed...but dog smart...dog waited till mum went in and out of sight, dog sneaked into room and onto my bed
James' mum is against having dogs inside the hse let alone on the bed, that is why i hope she never visits and stays with us (ssshhhhh!!), else i dunno what to do, he can't sleep without sleeping with me and i can't sleep without him there too!
Is it good or bad? Who knows...cud be bad but then again so is smoking and i still do it so....
Hi!! My baobao (shih tzu) has been sharing the same bed with me since the day i brought him home.. when my dad was still living with us, baobao can only stay in my room... but after my father moved away, YEAH!! we have the whole apartment ourselves!! YAS! one apartment for me, my sis and baobao~ sometimes, if we bring our GR back, she will sleep with us too~ but i always leave the window open for fresh air
Good or bad no one know... the main thing is "Don't worry be happy"... Once happy every sickness or probelms will gone.... Why I said so...cause my dogs also sleep with me not only same bedroom but also bed....hehehe
My lady and sasha runing up and down the stairs like nobody's business. Trained them since they r still puppy. No choice, or else I have to carry them one by one up to the room. I dont have that much of energy though... Lady and Sasha r way too heavy~
They treat it as an exercise...so I got nothing to worry~
That's a cool reply. Truly agree with you....but still, am thinking of leaving them outside once I move to my own place. Or else, what is the purpose of keeping a dog where they are not outside "jaga" the house at night...?~
Now looking at them sleeping peacefully on the floor...sigh, sakit hati also if put them outside....~ We'll see when time comes lah..~
Maybe if you really don't want them to sleep elsewhere you can try one of those airpurifier thingies. My boyfriend has one at his place and it seems to be doing an ok job so far. He has six dogs, 3 shih tzus, 1 shih tzu mix, 1 lab and 1 spitz mix, so you can imagine lah.. Like snow has come to Malaysia!!
Hope you can find a good solution!!! If not very expensive wor... if everytime have to fix car...
