Cool and Cozy Pet Bed Pattern However, if you have an older dog who is well-trained and does not have a tendency to chew, putting an enclosed dog bed in its crate could make it feel more comfortable and cozy. Proper size for your dog – You can’t just buy a large cave dog bed for a smaller dog. The whole purpose of a cave dog bed is for it to wrap around your dog and almost “hug” it, creating a cozy and comfortable, den-like area for your pup. If the bed is too big for them, this effect is ruined. Before you start shopping, highly recommend measuring your dog from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail, and measure its height when it’s sitting, too. This will help you choose the right bed for its needs.Because of this, putting your dog’s new enclosed bed where their old bed used to be is always the best option. If you’re buying your dog a bed for the first time, though, you may not know where you should put it. The interior is lined with a fleece material, while the exterior is covered in a durable, soft faux suede material. The inside is fully lined with a fluffy polyester fiber filling, and it’s available in several colors which will match just about any color scheme. We started making luxury dog beds by designing The Dog Cave Bed. We soon realised not all dogs used their beds in the same way – many dogs needed a particular style and shape of dog bed to help them feel cosy, safe and secure. This enclosed dog bed has an anti-slip bottom and a waterproof design, and feature an igloo shape that makes it easy for your pets to use it. With a removable cushion and a machine-washable design, you’ll have no trouble keeping things clean for your dog. The neutral, beige color fits in with almost any home decor, and makes this small bed very unobtrusive. To make a similar cushion cover, you will need suitable fabric, coordinating thread, hook and loop (Velcro), and basic sewing supplies including cutting supplies and a sewing machine.

The unique poly-fill material is designed to prevent clumping and shifting, so the bed maintains its original shape. Due to its soft and plush design, this is ideal for small dog breeds that love to tunnel and burrow. It’s also completely machine-washable, making it easy to keep your dog’s bed clean and odor-free. More comfortable for crate-trained dogs – Dogs who have been crate-trained may find an enclosed dog bed to be more comfortable, compared to a traditional, exposed dog bed. The liner and cover are built with a soft fleece material, and can be removed from the bed for machine washing, making it easy to care for this dog bed. Uniquely, the polyester fill includes cedar fiber, which helps control odor and keeps insects away from the bed. Sew to finish the exposed edges of your Velcro closure flaps (the open edges through which the filling is inserted).Measure out the length and width of the pillow and add one inch to the height and six inches to the length. In other words, a standard king size pillow is 20 x 36 inches. Therefore your fabric width will be 21 x 42 inches. Standard pillow sizes and their accompanying pattern sizes are: For each section on either side of the middle, you will not be able to lay the fabric flat to sew it to the bed as the flap will be longer than the bed section underneath. Measure twice on the flap to get the sections into 3 equal sections. For the example above, that would be approximately 4-½ inches. Beyond this, you may also need to fluff the bed occasionally. Most dog beds have a tendency to compact over time where the dog sleeps, which can lead to a bit of discomfort. Simply fluffing the bed vigorously every week or two will help prevent this, and can even help prolong the lifespan of the bed. At the corners (intersection of your centre fold and side seams), create a box corner seam by sewing across the intersection. Take the short edges of the two pieces and fold them so that there are about four inches inside the pillow case. Use pins to hold them together and baste them. Place the pillow on top again to make sure you have a gap of about one inch on either short side to accommodate the pillow.

Whippets love to burrow into their Cozy Caves and you might not see them for a while. But, you'll always know where to find them!Cons: Expensive, top “hood” material may sag over time requiring you to hold it up for your dog to enter the bed Budget Friendly: This is one of the most affordable enclosed dog cave beds on the market, and it’s ideal for both toy and small-sized dogs as well as puppies. It uses a unique, long tubular design, which wraps around your pup and keeps it feeling safe and comfortable. How do you know when to clean the bed? Well, just use your nose! It’s fine if the bed smells like your dog. But if it starts to smell a bit foul or ripe, it’s time for a wash. Don’t worry – your dog won’t mind. Can I get a cave bed for a giant-sized dog breed? Unfortunately, no manufacturers really make cave beds or covered beds for giant-sized dogs, as there is less of a market for them. Most cave beds can only handle dogs that are up to 60-70lbs at most.

Sew Velcro to the unfinished side of the top closure flap, near the finished edge. The stitching will be externally visible, so use a threat that compliments the fabric, not the Velcro. Sewing Velcro can sometimes be a bit fiddly, so I personally prefer using the loop side on this exposed position as it is the easier sew and will have neater looking stitching on the outside. You can run the Velcro so that it encroaches on the area to be sewn and boxed (no need to waste more by going all the way to the edge). Alternatively, you can stop shorter for less use (and potentially easier sewing and boxing). There will still be plenty of hold with a small gap at each end. The difference can also be sewn, if you wish. As noted in our post on making custom window seat cushions, you can also part sew and add the Velcro later if you aren’t sure on sizing and want to test fit before committing to Velcro placement. Sewing the case: At the corners of the large rectangle, draw the side pieces up to create the sides of the bed. Pin them at the corners, and sew to secure. Cons: Very small and only usable for toy dogs and puppies, some dogs may have trouble entering the bed and getting used to it, may tip over occasionally This makes a lot of sense when you think about it. If your dog is used to the confined, cozy environment of a crate – particularly if you cover the crate partially with a blanket or towel – it will feel more comfortable in a smaller, covered environment.

This burrow dog bed is the perfect design for your dog if he loves hiding in a pile of blankets. Or let alone if he loves getting in your blanket. This dog bed pattern is all about making an uber comfortable burrow dog bed. liagriffith 12. Heavy Duty Washable Dog Bed Fully boxed cushions use a pieced together boxing as a gusset. It gives a very square edge on all of the seams. All joins (excluding your closure, if the cover is removable) are on the edges. When well-sewn with careful pattern matching (if applicable) the finished look is very clean, the shape is sharp and angular, and the cushion looks good from the sides as well as the front. The very small opening helps contribute to a cave-like environment, and will keep your pet’s body heat inside, making this a fantastic choice if you have a short-haired dog breed that tends to get chilly easily. Easy-to-clean design – Some smaller dog beds are machine-washable, but larger beds can often only be spot-cleaned. Either way, a great dog bed cave will need to use a material that resists moisture and doesn’t cling to smells, and that can easily be washed and dried to ensure your dog’s bed is always hygienic and sanitary, and doesn’t release any unpleasant odors to the rest of your home. The best option is to try to transfer some familiar scents to the new dog bed. A brand-new dog bed will smell unfamiliar to your dog, which means it may not use it as much as you’d like. So you may want to consider placing a few T-shirts or other items of clothing that smell like you on the dog bed. Or, if your dog has a favorite blanket, you may want to place that in the dog bed.
