Types of Dog Beds
With all the different types of dog beds on the market, how do you choose the right type for your four-legged friend? Our expert Nicole says that understanding your dog and how he prefers to sleep can help you find the perfect bed.
Orthopedic Dog Beds
Orthopedic dog beds are designed to keep your dog's spine in proper alignment while sleeping and are easier on the joints. They tend to be made of thick, comfortable materials like memory foam.
If your dog is older, has joint pain, or often rolls around at night and doesn't seem comfortable, it may benefit from an orthopedic bed.
Raised Dog Beds
Raised beds are elevated, resting on legs with space between the bed and the ground. Most raised dog beds consist of a frame with a fabric or mesh and a sleeping platform like a cot. They are ideal for keeping dogs cool as air can circulate them, and they are also comfortable as there is minimal pressure on the joints when lying down.
If your dog likes to sleep outdoors, a raised bed will keep him off the ground, which may be too hot, cold, or damp.
Donut Dog Beds
Donut beds are round or oval with raised sides. They can be soft or plush materials with built-in padding or rigid plastic so that you can add your soft bedding to the center.
If your dog likes to sleep curled up, a donut bed provides the support he needs to stay comfortable.
Dog Bed Mattress
Pillow or mattress-style beds are flat and rectangular. Pillow beds are often filled with holofiber, while mattress beds are more like a human mattress...they tend to be made of materials like memory foam, regular foam, or box spring construction.
If your dog likes to sleep on his side, a pillow or mattress bed will give him the most room to stretch out.
Cool and Heat Dog Beds
Some dog beds are specifically designed to heat or cool. Some have built-in heating or cooling pads, while others are specially built to help keep your dog extra warm or cool.
For example, a heated dog bed may have raised sides and lots of extra padding to trap warm air and keep your canine companion comfortable.
If your dog is too hot or too cold at night, he could benefit from a cooling or heating bed. Our expert Ramesh also says, "A dog with arthritis may benefit from a hot or cold bed or one that is orthopedic."
The size of the bed you need depends on the size of your dog. Our best advice: To get the right size bed, measure your dog while the dog's lying down.
Measure from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail and from the bottom of his paw to the top of his shoulder, near the base of his neck. Add a couple of inches to both measurements – those will be your dog's minimum dimensions.
Remember, it is always better to increase the size than decrease it.
Material
Dog beds come in different materials, depending on the type of bed. Soft beds tend to have outer layers of foam cotton, memory foam, or holofiber fillings. However, you can also find plastic beds, raised mesh beds, and beds made from ripstop material, which are great for dogs that like to chew.
Colour
Most dog beds come in a range of colors. Some are only available in neutral tones, such as brown, black or beige. Other dog beds can be found in bright colors and cool patterns. Your dog won't care what color his bed is, so choose a design that he likes or goes with his decor. We advise avoiding light colors as they can stain and will show dirt more clearly between washes.
Ease of Cleaning
Our expert, Ramesh, has this advice: "Think about your pet's activity level." A dog that runs and gets muddy often will need a bed that is easy to clean and remove the cover.
Plastic dog beds can be hosed down, but it's not as easy for soft beds. We recommend looking for a bed with a removable, machine-washable cover.
FAQ
Q. Should I get my dog a bed with raised sides?

Q. What type of bed should I buy for a dog with allergies?
A. If your dog is allergic to common household allergens like dust, look for a hypoallergenic dog bed. It's also helpful to have a bed that's easy to clean, either by hosing it down or throwing it in the washing machine.
