Size and Shape
First and foremost, ensure the “dog bed” you choose is appropriate for your pet’s size. A bed that’s too small will be uncomfortable, while one that’s too large may not provide the snug feeling many dogs love. Measure your dog from nose to tail and from paw to shoulder to get an accurate idea of the size you need.
In addition to size, consider the shape.
Does your dog love to sprawl out or curl up? There are rectangular, round, and even bolster “dog beds” designed to cater to various sleeping styles.
Durability and Material
Dogs can be rough on their beds, especially puppies or those with a penchant for digging and chewing. It’s crucial to opt for a “dog bed” crafted from durable materials that can withstand regular wear and tear. Look for beds with sturdy fabrics like canvas or cordura.
Additionally, the material should be easy to clean. Removable, machine-washable covers are a godsend for keeping the “dog bed” fresh and free from dirt and odors.
