    It's safe for her to be on your bed, but if she's disturbing you, you need to find another solution.
    Molly has her own bed in my room, so you could try that. Because your dog is used to sleeping on your bed you'll probably need to train her to sleep in her own bed. I'd start this during the day, when she's had exercise and is ready for a nap. Lure her to her own bed with a treat and reward every so often. You might need to put something (like chairs) beside your bed to start with so she can't jump on it.

    It's quite safe for your dog to sleep on your bed.
    Make sure she gets regular flea and worm treatment though just in case.
    And bear in mind that in the future if you wish to share your bed with another person your dog or person (or both) may not be happy

    It's very unlikely you would catch a disease from your dog. My dog cuddles on my bed with me but when I want to go to sleep I send her to her own bed, just because she takes up too much space!

    (Thirty-four years ago, when my son was new-born, the health visitor arrived to find me in bed with baby breast-feeding under one arm and my springer spaniel being cuddled under the other! My son has only had one course of antibiotics in his entire life, so it clearly did him no harm. ;))

    If you're both happy - then it's fine! Coco sleeps on our bed. I'm undecided as to whether I'm happy still :rolleyes: I don't get much room!
