The most important aspect in selecting a suitable dog bed is comfort. You want to be sure your dog can sleep and move comfortably in his bed. If the dog is uncomfortable he will not use the bed regularly, Dogs like to nest in something soft, just like people do.
Closely related to comfort is dog bed size. Itâ€Ã¢â€žÂ¢s important to choose the right size bed. Especially beds that are too small tend to be less comfortable.
There are several things to take into consideration when choosing a dog bed size, such as how your dog likes to sleep; if he likes to sleep curled or if he likes to stretch out. If your dog is still growing you need to determine the estimated size when fully grown. In any case, make sure the bed is large enough to fit your dog while heâ€Ã¢â€žÂ¢s outstretched. As a general rule, the bigger bed, the better. There are two simple ways to determine the proper Dog bed size:
1) In case your dog is fully grown, measure your dog from nose to onset of the tail as he is lying down, then add 12 cm (5 inches) if he likes to sleep stretched out. Pick the next biggest size pet bed for that measurement.
2) Choose the right size bed from the breed and size guidelines. Please note that not all breeds in the world are listed. If your breed is not listed in the table, you may want to do an internet search on your breedâ€Ã¢â€žÂ¢s size or contact the breeder. Also note that the below guidelines are approximations. When in doubt it is always better to go with the next size up.
