Dog Bed Buying Guide:

 

Here at Happy Pup Place, we know how important it is for your dog to have a place of their own.  A den to provide a place of calming, well-being, a sense of security and comfort.  Not to mention a place to have a good night’s rest.  We’re dog lovers too and recognize that one size bed doesn’t fit all and are dedicated to help you find that perfect place for your Happy Pup.

We carry the best collection of dog beds suited for the needs of all dogs. We have a full range of choices for all breeds, sizes, and ages.  Every dog is unique and has different needs based upon age, size, weight, health, activity levels and sleeping style.  We’ve created a guide to help you make your buying decision a little easier.

 

What to consider when looking for a dog bed for your pup:

 

#1) Size of Your Pet: 

Here is a general “Dog Bed Size Chart” to determine an average size bed for your pet.

As always, please refer to the size charts for each pet bed Brand and Bed Style as they all tend to be different.

 Please remember if your pet likes to sprawl, go up a size. 

​

  

How to Measure your Pet:

Step 1:  Measure the Length of your pet using a cloth tape measure or string

• Pet should be standing
• Measure from tip of the nose to the top of the tail
• Add 6 to 12 inches for plenty of room to sprawl

Step 2:  Measure the Width of your pet using a cloth tape measure or string

 

• Measure your pet from shoulder to shoulder at their widest area
• Add 6 to 12 inches for plenty of room to sprawl

 

 

 

2) What is the sleeping pattern of your pet?

3)  How old is your dog and how much support is needed?

Older dogs tend to have joint problems and arthritic conditions that may cause them to need more support and have beds that are lower to the ground.  We have a great selection of orthopedic dog beds to suit the needs of your aging pup. 

We have fill choices that range from Orthopedic Foam, or Memory Foam Options for Senior Pets!

4)  Other things to consider when buying a pet bed is the care instructions.  Be sure to look at the product description and see the individual care instructions for each brand.  Most of our pet beds have removable covers that can be easily washable.
