How to measure a dog?

• A classic tailor's tape measure is all you need for measuring.
• Wait until your dog is resting and measure them in their favourite position.
• Measure the length from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail.
• To allow your dog to comfortably turn around in the bed, add an extra 10–20 cm.

Bed size

A dog bed must be cosy yet spacious at the same time. It must not be too small, so that your dog is comfortable enough even when sprawled out. At the same time, a bed that is too large is not suitable either, as it does not provide a sufficient sense of security. How do you measure your dog and choose the ideal bed based on their dimensions?

How to choose the right size of dog bed?

The right size of dog bed is key. Its ideal dimensions take into account not only the size of the dog itself, but also its resting habits. Some furry friends like to sleep curled up into a ball, while others prefer to stretch their paws out.

A bed for small dogs is usually 40 to 60 cm long. It is suitable for mini and small dog breeds such as the Bichon Frise, Yorkshire Terrier, Havanese, Chihuahua, Jack Russell Terrier, Miniature Dachshund, Miniature Pinscher, Pomeranian and others.

A bed for medium dogs is usually 60 to 80 cm long. It is suitable for medium dog breeds such as the Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Shetland Sheepdog, Bull Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier, English Bulldog, Poodle and others.

A bed for large dogs is usually over 80 cm long. Boxers, Border Collies, Dobermanns, Greyhounds, Labradors and Golden Retrievers, Setters, Pointers, Rottweilers, Sheepdogs, Great Danes and other large dog breeds will love relaxing in it.

Tip: If you are choosing a bed for a puppy, it is better to choose a smaller one first and keep in mind that they will grow out of it and you will need to buy a larger one later. Particularly small puppies need the sense of security that, until recently, was provided by their mother. A bed that is too large could unnecessarily stress them out.

How to fluff up the bed

The pet bed is delivered vacuum-packed for efficient storage and transport.

• Carefully open the bed's packaging and remove it from the vacuum packaging. The bed should gradually regain its full shape and volume.

• For optimal comfort, aerate the inner materials. Gently pull the inner filling apart through the outer layer so that air can get between the individual inner layers, while shaping it into the desired form to match the shape shown at the time of purchase. Please repeat this process at least 4 times within 24 hours.

• To achieve the optimal shape and comfort, leave the bed unfolded on a flat, firm surface for at least 24 hours.
