Product Information

No matter what kind of dog bed your pup likes, you are bound to find what you need at PetSmart. We have beds designed for all of the small, medium, large, and extra-large dogs in your home. The size of the bed will likely have the biggest effect on how comfortable your dog is when using it. “A bed should be large enough for your pet to lay out with their limbs fully extended with their entire body, even their toes, on the bed,” says Varble. Small dogs can usually use beds that are designed for larger breeds as long as they’re able to jump into the bed without issue, but “a tiny bed for a giant body doesn’t work very well,” says Hoggan.

Size: The right sized bed means it’s large enough for your pet to sprawl out with their limbs fully extended and their entire body still on the bed, according to our experts. Most beds will have size recommendations based on your dog’s weight. Small dogs can generally use beds meant for bigger dogs as long as they can comfortably step in and out of it (though this is not true for medium and large sized dogs).

Unfortunately, many older large-breed dogs like to lie on the floor, which can be harder on their joints. This might be due to temperature concerns, so beds that are designed to keep a dog cool might be a good option [and] many orthopedic dog beds have this feature,” says Fadl. Orthopedic beds with a low profile on one side can allow for easier access, especially since arthritic dogs can find it hard to lift their paws high enough to get in, says Nelson.

You should consider a few different features as you’re shopping for a dog bed, including the size of the bed, cushioning and insulation level. Size Dr. Kristen Nelson is a veterinarian at Arizona Skies Animal Hospital in Cave Creek, Arizona and the author of “Coated With Fur: A Vet’s Life.” Since beds can be a key source of anxiety-reducing comfort for your pet, the insulation level of the bed can be an important consideration based on the climate you live in and the breed of your dog. Basically, the bed shouldn’t make them feel too warm or too cold. Angela Logsdon-Hoover is a certified dog trainer, canine behaviorist and the regional technician director at VCA Animal Hospitals.

A thin and small breed with no undercoat, like a whippet or Italian Greyhound, will need much more warmth provided in cold northern climate, whereas an arctic breed would need a more cooling bed in a tropical region,” says Hoggan. Dr. Sarah Hoggan is the medical director for VCA California Veterinary Specialists — Murrieta, where she also oversees emergency and critical care services. Note how your pup sleeps."If they sprawl out on the couch, a rectangular bed that gives them room to 'starfish' might be best," says Senior Editor and pet expert Lizz Schumer. "But if they like to turn around in a circle a million times to create a little nest, they might do best with a cuddler or cave bed."
