Fit is the first thing a customer asks about. Here's how to size a bed with confidence, plus a breed-by-breed starting point.
Measure your pet, nose to tail
With them standing, measure from the base of the tail to the tip of the nose. Add 6 to 12 inches so they can stretch out fully.
Note how they sleep
Sprawlers want an open lounger or mat with room to spread; curlers and burrowers prefer a bolster or cave that cradles.
Size up for shared or senior pets
Two pets who share, or an older pet who needs easy joint support, are more comfortable one size up.
General guidance to point you to the right size. When a pet is between sizes, size up.
