The two-level threat of ground temperature<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

In summer, ground temperatures may reach 50\u00b0C (such as asphalt and tiles), exceeding the tolerance threshold of pets (38\u00b0C for dogs and 39\u00b0C for cats), and the risk of paw pad burns is high.<\/p>\n

Winter hypothermia: The ground has strong thermal conductivity, and the pet's core body temperature loses 0.3\u2103 per hour, accelerating energy consumption.<\/p>\n

Therefore, pets need\u00a0to avoid direct contact with the ground when resting.<\/p>\n

The Instinctive Logic of Energy Conservation<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pets curl up to reduce body surface exposure to save heat. A soft bed surface can better help pets maintain their posture and provide more support than a hard floor to ensure their sleeping comfort.<\/p>\n","tit2":"Evolutionary instinct: \"high-altitude survival strategy\" in genes","part2":"

Habitat selection by wild ancestors<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cats, such as the African wild cat, and canids, such as wolves, share common characteristics in their habitat selection: cats prefer high places (such as trees and rocks), while canids seek dry caves. These instincts are retained in domestic pets, especially cats.<\/p>\n

Genetic memory of terrestrial risk<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wet floors are prone to breeding parasites (fleas and ticks), and pets instinctively avoid them. In some shelters for stray animals, the use of off-the-ground beds has improved pet skin health and reduced skin problems caused by wet environments. According to feedback from many shelters, this design helps prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi and promotes pet health.<\/p>\n","tit3":"Joint health: self-protection of bones and muscles","part3":"

Chronic injuries on hard surfaces<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Veterinarians and pet health experts agree that hard surfaces can increase joint stress, especially for large and elderly dogs. Providing a soft, supportive mattress can help reduce joint stress and the incidence of joint disease.<\/p>\n

Cats jump and land; the impact of the hard ground can easily cause wear and tear on their wrist joints.<\/p>\n

Biomechanical advantages of soft surfaces<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Memory foam or other cushioning materials can evenly distribute pressure throughout the body and reduce local pressure on joints. This design helps keep your pet comfortable and healthy.<\/p>\n","tit4":"Psychological safety and socialization behavior: The establishment of sovereignty and sense of belonging in high territories","part4":"

Control of the high ground<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Memory foam or other cushioning materials can evenly distribute pressure throughout the body and reduce local pressure on joints. This design helps keep your pet comfortable and healthy.<\/p>\n

The soothing effect of enclosed spaces<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Semi-enclosed beds can effectively reduce the interference of environmental noise (such as vacuum cleaners and thunder), help pets reduce stress reactions, and provide a more stable resting environment.<\/p>\n

Learn the owner's living habits<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

62 % of pets habitually imitate their owners\u2019 behaviors, such as jumping on the sofa or bed, which shows that pets have a strong tendency to imitate their living habits. By using pet beds, pets tend to form synchronized sleeping behaviors.<\/p>\n

Scent marking as a sense of belonging<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

The bedding absorbs the pet\u2019s own odor (such as sebum and glandular secretions in the paw pads), becoming its \u201cexclusive territory\u201d and reducing random urination and marking behavior (user surveys show that the problem has been reduced by 61%).<\/p>\n","tit5":"Health and hygiene: a natural barrier against bacteria and parasites","part5":"

Microbial threats on the ground<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ground is much higher than that on the ground beds. In a humid environment, the reproduction rate of fungi (such as Malassezia) increases significantly. By providing off-the-ground bedding, you can effectively reduce your pet\u2019s risk of exposure to these microorganisms through contact with the ground.<\/p>\n

Parasite avoidance logic<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Flea eggs are four times more likely to survive in carpets or floor cracks than in off-the-ground bedding, and pets\u2019 instinct is to avoid high-risk areas. Using off-the-ground bedding can help protect your pet\u2019s health by reducing exposure to parasites.<\/p>\n","tit6":"Why does Canbo choose to make pet loft beds","part6":"

Canbo, we always pay attention to the needs of every family member, including our beloved pets. As pets play an increasingly important role in the family, we realize that their quality of life and health are equally worthy of our attention. Therefore, we decided to innovate and launch pet loft beds to meet the special needs of pets in rest and life.<\/p>\n

Canbo hopes to provide pets with a more comfortable and safe resting environment through innovative design while helping them avoid health problems that may be caused by improper resting positions. We are committed to the research and development of loft beds, not only to create a resting space for pets that is as comfortable as their owners ' but also to alleviate their discomfort caused by changes in the environment.<\/p>\n

That pets can have a better rest experience on the bed, but also provide them with a habitat that meets their instinctive needs, making their lives healthier and more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

From the brand mission, Canbo believes that the pet loft bed is not only a concern for the health of pets but also an improvement in the quality of life of pets. Through this product, we hope to help more pets have a better rest environment and make their everyday lives full of happiness and vitality.<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canbopet.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
