Finding just the right dog beds can be a little overwhelming. We don’t really have the choice of taking our dog out shopping for a dog bed and asking them what they would prefer. This leaves it up to you to make the best choice for your dog. There are a few things you will want to think about when selecting a bed for your dog.
Getting the right size bed is vital to your dog’s comfort. You want a dog bed that is a good match for the size of your dog. If you don’t measure your dog it will be almost impossible to get the right fit. The first set of measurements should be while your dog is standing. Measure from nose to tail and from shoulders to floor. You will also want to take measurements of your dog while it is sleeping. If you are buying a dog mattress you should add a foot to the standing measurements of your dog to get the best fit. If you are looking for a nest and ball type bed add approximately nine inches to your dog’s sleeping measurements. A bed that is too small will not be comfortable for your dog. When buying a bed for a growing dog look for one your dog can fit when it reaches its full height.

The shape of dog bed you choose will depend on the favorite sleeping position of your dog and it’s size. Think about where your dog does most of its sleeping. Dogs are usually creatures of habit and will return to the same place regularly. If your dog sleeps in one area in the morning and another during the night consider getting a dog bed that is easy to move around the house.
Choose a dog bed with the appropriate height for your dog to get on and off it. There are dog beds made from so many different materials and in different shapes and styles. The best selection for your dog will depend on the particular needs of your dog including the local climate, it’s favorite sleeping position, and it’s size.
