When I was a child, then it's no problem because I didn't know its disadvantage. Now I don't allow my pets sleep in my bed.

I've never had any pet but my aunt did. She did everything with her dog --- to the point we called the dog Cousin Chloe. Later on, there was another one.. Cousin Misty. They were my Aunt's family and when my grandfather died, their names were on the coffin!lol

If I had my pets though, I'm sure I wouldn't let them sleep in my bed. I mean, I can just imagine them peeing on the mattress. I doubt that they'd go to the bathroom no matter how "potty trained" they are. Also, their furs can develop asthma for people. happy

I don't mind because i take them as my good friends. But my mother and my wife don't like pets. They are afraid of fleas in pet's hair.

I think the anti flea collars are good for pets to get rid of the fleas. They work very well.

Why don't you let your pets sleep in your bed? What is it that you don't like about it?

My dog Bella sleeps with my every night! I can't imagine a night without her curling up next to me on my pillow. The only time she didn't sleep next to me was when she was in her potty training stages and I didn't trust her to be out the whole night. She's now 1 year and 5 months, fully potty trained, and she does so well out of her crate I've put it away in the closet so it's not even out anymore.

I personally see nothing wrong with your pet sleeping in bed with you. Sure there might be a little more cat hair and dog hair in the bed but that can easily be taken care of by washing your sheets. Plus all that hair is everywhere else in your house so what's the difference?

The only thing that bothers me sometimes is she tends to be a bed hog. It's fine when it's just me and her but when my boyfriend sleeps over it can get a little cramped. I currently have a Queen sized bed but upgrading to a King is definitely on my list of must do's in the very near future. With that King bed in my bedroom the three of us will be sleeping comfortably and then ALL of us can sprawl out and hog our own sides of the bed without bothering everyone else!

I don't allow my pets sleep in my bed because of the sanitation issues.

My dog sleeps in my bed with me at night. He is sleeping there right actually lol
he is allowed on my parents bed too and he's got his own spot on the couch but only that spot. hes not allowed anywhere else and theres a blanket down where he lays.

When i first got him i tried having him sleep on the floor and he would but i didn't like it... i wanted him up on the bed with me. blush I love sleeping with him because he is so cuddly and cute.

He would cry now probably if i tried to get him to sleep on the floor but i'm sure he would because he so good and well behaved (well, for the most part lol) but he does listen good when it comes to things like that. happy
but i have no reason to make him sleep on the ground. So my bed is hes bed.

Normally, no. I have always hated pets in my bed. I have made one exception though and that is for my dog Asha who is about the sweetest dog in the world. She made me see animals a whole lot differently after meeting her. I actually would call her to come and sleep with me and she loved it. Sadly, she belongs to my ex-boyfriend and we have come to a parting of the ways so I won't be able to see her anymore. I have to say I will really, really miss her.

Hey youless, I love having my babies sleep in my bed. But,
my roomate/boyfriend??? doesn't allow furbies in the bed!
My cat Star always slept next to me. My stupid bf? keeps
chasing him out. He's so confused and depressed. I get so
angry at him. There's no reason to upset Star. My bf? claims
he's only my roomate and not my bf so I don't no why my cat
can't sleep in the bed. I know it's confusing to everyone
because it's confusing to me. My other cat Luna doesn't
doesn't even bother because he doesn't even like bf?

Perhaps they have to learn how to get well with each other.

Hi youless! As much as we love our pets, we don't allow them to sleep in our bed. Our pets usually run all around the garden and they step on a lot of dirty things and even if they just got bathe, they are not allowed to come inside our bedroom.
Take care always..God Bless!

Our pets are allowed to go to any rooms, but no beds.

Hi youless, I like to keep pets in the earlier days. Once I had a lovely Siamese kitten. It was a gift from one of my old colleagues. Its whitish fur was so soft and silky. I like watching it playing with the small rubber ball. It was so robust and cute while playing with something.

Sometimes it jumped onto my bed but I don’t allow it to play or sleep on my bed as I was allergic to the furs of animals. The germs harbor in the furs might cause harm to my respiratory system. I would suffer from running nose and coughing if keep contact with dog or cat intimately for quite some period. Doctor always advised me not to keep too close to animal with furs. I was told also the furs could cause harm to those people who suffer from asthma. Though I love my Siamese cat very much, I still not allow it to sleep in my bed for the sake of health.

happy posting and take care.
