Avoid if

Avoid beds that only fit a curled-up dog when the dog usually stretches out.

  • Start with your dog's measurements whenever possible.
  • Always compare this estimate with the specific brand's size chart before buying.

Fit checklist

  • Dog fits without hanging off.
  • Cushion supports weight.
  • Cover is washable.
  • Bolsters do not reduce usable space too much.
