If your dog tends to have accidents or likes to lie in bed after a messy trip to the park, you might want to consider a bed that has a removable outer cover and an impermeable inner cover. “Given dogs are not particularly driven by tidiness, getting a bed with a waterproof and washable cover is advised — humans prefer things in their homes not to carry the fragrance of whatever was available to roll upon outside,” says Hoggan. And with the often high price tag of some quality memory foam beds, a durable, water-resistant cover will make the bed last and ensure you’re getting your money’s worth, says Wakshlag. Cushioning and support Note how your pup sleeps."If they sprawl out on the couch, a rectangular bed that gives them room to 'starfish' might be best," says Senior Editor and pet expert Lizz Schumer. "But if they like to turn around in a circle a million times to create a little nest, they might do best with a cuddler or cave bed." Dr. Joe Wakshlag is a professor of clinical nutrition and sports medicine and rehabilitation at Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine.

You should also be careful with any tassels or long threads that are visible on the bed. “Dogs like to chew and a tassel or thread has the potential to become a linear foreign body trapped in their stomach and intestines,” says Hoggan.

Durability: How durable a bed is really comes down to your dog’s temperament. Though most dog beds are made of soft polyester designed to look good and feel comfortable, dogs more prone to chewing or pawing at their bed will likely benefit from ballistic fabrics designed to be hard-wearing. If your dog tends to destroy their toys, a soft fleece bed or one with tassels and threads should be off the table. The size of the bed will likely have the biggest effect on how comfortable your dog is when using it. “A bed should be large enough for your pet to lay out with their limbs fully extended with their entire body, even their toes, on the bed,” says Varble. Small dogs can usually use beds that are designed for larger breeds as long as they’re able to jump into the bed without issue, but “a tiny bed for a giant body doesn’t work very well,” says Hoggan.

Size: The right sized bed means it’s large enough for your pet to sprawl out with their limbs fully extended and their entire body still on the bed, according to our experts. Most beds will have size recommendations based on your dog’s weight. Small dogs can generally use beds meant for bigger dogs as long as they can comfortably step in and out of it (though this is not true for medium and large sized dogs).

There are many types of dog beds on the market, including decorative ones that blend in with the furniture in your house, and supportive orthopedic beds that can make older pets more comfortable. You should consider a few different features as you’re shopping for a dog bed, including the size of the bed, cushioning and insulation level.
