How to Pick the Right Dog Bed

Round fluffy dog bed in pink

A bed your dog loves is one they will actually use. These four questions make the choice easy.

1. How does your dog sleep?

Curlers like round beds with a raised rim, where they can tuck in and rest their head on the edge. Sprawlers prefer a flat mat or a long cushion. The Cozy Gradient Dome Dog Bed is a plush round style made for curlers.

2. What size should you pick?

Measure your dog from nose to base of the tail while they lie in their usual sleeping position, then add 10 to 15 cm. When in doubt, choose the bigger size.

3. Where will it live?

Think about the spot: near you in the living room, in a quiet corner or by a window. Put it somewhere draft-free and away from heaters.

4. Do you want extra layers?

A soft blanket like the Cozy Thermal Dog Blanket can go on top of any bed or on the sofa, and it is easy to wash.

Making the switch

  • Place the new bed next to the old one for a few days.
  • Add a worn T-shirt or a favorite toy so it smells familiar.
  • Reward your dog the first times they lie down on it.
