Dog Beds for Puppies, Adult & Older Dogs

Give your dog a comfortable place of their own with our range of dog beds. From cosy bolster beds to supportive mattresses, we offer beds for different dog sizes, sleeping styles and stages of life.

A good dog bed gives your pet a dedicated place to sleep, relax and settle down. Whether you have a new puppy, an active adult dog or an older pet that appreciates additional support, choosing the right bed starts with your dog's size and preferred sleeping position.

Choosing the Right Dog Bed

Dogs don't all sleep in the same way. Some curl themselves into a tight ball, while others stretch out and take up considerably more room than you might expect.

When choosing a bed, consider:

• Your dog's overall size and weight
• Whether they curl up or stretch out when sleeping
• How much padding and support they prefer
• Whether raised sides would make them more comfortable
• How easy the bed is to clean
• Where the bed will be positioned in your home

Bolster & Raised-Side Dog Beds

Bolster dog beds feature raised, padded sides surrounding all or part of the sleeping area. Many dogs naturally use the raised edge as a headrest or curl up against it when sleeping.

They're particularly suitable for dogs that prefer a more enclosed sleeping position rather than lying on a completely flat mattress.

Mattress & Cushion Dog Beds

A flat dog mattress or cushion bed provides plenty of room for dogs that prefer to stretch out.

The open design also makes it easy for your dog to get on and off the bed without having to step over a raised edge, which can be useful for older dogs or pets that simply prefer easy access.

Supportive Dog Beds for Older Dogs

As dogs get older, they may appreciate a bed with additional cushioning and support.

Look for a bed that provides a comfortable sleeping surface while remaining easy for your dog to get into and out of. A low entrance or flat mattress design can be particularly practical for an older pet.

Where a product uses specialist foam or has specific supportive properties, check the individual product description for the exact construction.

Dog Beds for Puppies

Puppies spend a considerable amount of time sleeping, so providing them with their own comfortable resting area is a good idea from the beginning.

A cosy bed with raised sides can provide a snug sleeping space, while a washable cover or easy-clean construction is particularly useful during the puppy stage.

Washable Dog Beds

Dog beds inevitably collect hair, dirt and everyday odours, so easy cleaning is an important consideration.

Depending on the individual bed, cleaning features may include:

• Removable covers
• Machine-washable covers
• Washable cushions
• Wipe-clean surfaces
• Removable internal cushions

Always follow the washing instructions supplied with the individual bed, as materials and fillings can require different cleaning methods.

What Size Dog Bed Do I Need?

Don't choose a dog bed based only on breed. Two dogs of the same breed can be quite different in size and may also sleep very differently.

A simple way to choose is to measure your dog while they're sleeping in their normal position. If they like to stretch out, measure them when fully extended and allow some additional room around them.

If they normally curl up, a smaller bolster-style bed may provide the snug sleeping area they prefer.

Small, Medium & Large Dog Beds

Our dog beds are available in different sizes to accommodate everything from small dogs and puppies through to larger breeds.

Check the dimensions shown on each individual product rather than relying solely on descriptions such as Small, Medium or Large, as dimensions can vary considerably between manufacturers and bed styles.

Where Should I Put My Dog's Bed?

Choose a comfortable location where your dog can relax without constantly being disturbed but can still feel part of the household.

Many owners position dog beds in living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms or other areas where the family spends time. Some dogs also benefit from having more than one sleeping area around the home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Beds

What type of dog bed should I choose?

Start with your dog's sleeping position. Dogs that curl up often enjoy beds with padded or raised sides, while dogs that stretch out generally need a larger, flatter sleeping surface.

What type of bed is suitable for an older dog?

A well-padded bed with easy access can be a good choice for an older dog. A low-sided or mattress-style design avoids a high edge that your dog has to step over. Check individual products for specific supportive or orthopaedic features.

Can I wash my dog's bed?

Many dog beds have washable or removable covers, but not every complete bed can be put into a washing machine. Always check the manufacturer's care instructions for the particular product before washing.

How often should I clean a dog bed?

This depends on your dog and how the bed is used. Regularly removing loose hair and cleaning the bed when it becomes dirty or develops an odour will help keep your dog's sleeping area fresh.

Should I buy a bigger bed for a puppy?

You can allow some room for growth, but an excessively large bed may not provide the snug sleeping area some puppies prefer. Check the expected adult size of your dog and consider whether you want one larger bed or intend to replace it as your puppy grows.

Does my dog need their own bed?

A dedicated dog bed gives your pet a consistent and comfortable place to rest. It can also help contain loose hair and everyday dirt in an area that is easier to clean than sofas, chairs and other household furniture.
