How to choose the right bed for your dog?
Generally,
Dog beds should be sufficiently padded and made from a comfortable material.
Our beds are filled with ultra-soft fillers that relieve joint and muscle pain. The outer shelter is a heavy woven cotton fabric known as cotton duck, made of 100% cotton.
Cotton duck is more tightly woven than plain canvas; it is known for its durability and has historically been used for a wide range of heavy-duty applications.

Pay attention to the way your dog likes to sleep!
Dogs that love to lay out flat should not be forced to curl up, and dogs that love the security of cuddling up against a wall usually prefer a nesting bed over a flat one.
If your dog likes to snooze curled up in a ball, choosing a bed with sides like Doughnut bed, Cuddler bed or Snuggle bed works for you. These beds have raised edges, higher sides to create a sense of security and provide head and neck support. The soft side walls are great for holding in your dog’s body heat and making them feel hugged and secure when sleeping.
On the other hand, if you have a dog that likes to sprawl out and can’t seem to get enough room when they sleep, choosing a flat rectangular bed like Stripey bed would make your dog very happy!
Pet beds should also be easily washable
If you want a dog bed to take camping, into the garden or on any adventures then a more durable material is best. All beds we offer (except for the Snuggle) have an easily removable washable cover. The cover comes with a zipper that can be removed. Machine or hand washed at 30 degrees, making wash day a little easier for you!
