How to Choose the Right Bed for Your Dog

How to Choose the Right Bed for Your Dog

Dogs sleep up to 14 hours a day. That means the bed you choose matters more than most people think. Here's how to get it right the first time.


1. Match the Size to Your Dog Your dog should be able to stretch out fully without hanging over the edge. Measure your dog from nose to tail and add 20–30cm for the ideal bed size.

2. Consider Your Dog's Sleep Style Curlers love bolster beds with raised edges. Stretchers need flat, open beds. Burrowers prefer covered or cave-style beds with soft interiors.

3. Choose the Right Fill Memory foam is best for older dogs or those with joint issues. Hollow fibre is great for puppies. Orthopaedic foam is ideal for large breeds.

4. Think About the UAE Climate Dubai summers are brutal. Choose breathable, cooling fabrics that don't trap heat — and avoid thick, heavy materials that make your dog uncomfortable indoors.

5. Prioritise Easy Cleaning A removable, machine-washable cover is non-negotiable. Dogs are messy — your bed needs to handle it.
