Dog Size Guide
Step-by-Step Measurement Instructions:
-
Length Measurement: Measure the length of your pet from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail (not the tip of the tail). This will help you determine the ideal bed length for your pet.
-
Width Measurement: Measure your pet from side to side at the broadest part of its body (typically at the shoulders or ribs). This ensures that the bed’s width provides ample space for your pet to curl up or stretch out.
-
Height Consideration: If your pet likes to nest or burrow into their bed, choose a higher bed wall height to allow for a comfortable and secure feeling of enclosure.

Additional Considerations for the Cozy Calming Pet Bed:
-
Shape and Style: These beds are designed to help your pet feel safe and relaxed with calming properties, ideal for pets who are prone to anxiety, stress, or seek a sense of security while they sleep.
-
Round/Donut Shape: Best for pets who like to curl up in a ball and sleep with their head resting on the bed’s edges.
-
Cave or Hooded Style: Great for pets who prefer to burrow or need a high sense of security with an enclosed space.
-
Calming Features:
-
Beds that come with a raised rim offer an enclosed, snuggly feel that promotes a sense of security and comfort, ideal for pets who suffer from anxiety.
-
Consider whether your pet likes a more spacious bed for sprawling or prefers snug, enclosed spaces for more warmth and security.
-
Pet Weight vs Bed Size: When choosing a bed, also consider the heaviness of your pet. For heavier pets, select a larger and more supportive bed with added cushioning that evenly distributes weight to avoid joint pressure.
-
Cleaning and Durability: Cozy calming pet beds are usually made with soft faux fur and memory foam. Choose a bed with removable covers that are machine-washable to ensure it remains hygienic, especially for pets that are prone to accidents, shedding, or dirt.
How to Choose the Right Size for Your Pet:
-
Length & Width Compatibility: Measure your pet when they are fully stretched out, or when curled into their favorite sleeping position. Compare these dimensions to the bed’s size to ensure adequate room.
-
Consider Sleeping Habits: If your pet likes to sprawl and stretch out during sleep, opt for a slightly larger bed to provide ample room. If your pet prefers to curl up tightly, a snugger bed with high walls may be ideal.
-
Age & Health Considerations: If your pet is a senior or has joint issues, make sure to choose a calming pet bed with ample cushion and support. Orthopedic calming beds, which feature memory foam, may also be a good option for pets with joint or muscle pain.
