Sizing Guidelines and Considerations
(not meant to be a definitive guide, pets are unique and do vary)

1. STYLE: How does your pet like to sleep?
* STRETCHED OUT? Mattress type pet beds made of foam or poly fill. You can buy memory foam or regular orthopedic foam. Memory foam dog beds are a better choice for older pets.
- Poly Fill pet beds are stuffed much like a traditional cotton-filled pillow. Often this filling will include "cedar bits" which will help maintain a fresh smell and have the added benefit of repelling fleas and other insects naturally. We carry a large number of these types of pet beds such as the Quiltie Dog pillow bed, the Round Dog pillow bed, the Rectangular Dog pillow bed, and the Wicker Dog Basket Bed and Wicker Cat Bed. The best pet beds will also have a zippered liner so that the filling can be replaced and the outside cover washed. These types of pet beds provide an excellent balance between comfort and support. If your pet often circles when they are getting ready to sleep, you'll want to make sure the pet bed you choose for them will not flatten out quickly - spring wound cotton poly-fill stuffing works great. Our wide selection of Round Dog beds and Rectangular Dog beds feature this type of fill.
- Solid Foam Dog Beds are comfortable for all pets, but are especially recommended for LARGE BREEDS and OLDER CANINES, which often develop calluses over their elbows and hocks. These problems can be helped with a good quality foam dog bed like our Super Ortho Lounger orthopedic dog bed, and our Ortho Lounger orthopedic dog bed.

* CURLED? Round Dog pillow beds and more specifically, Bolster dog bed are a great choice.
* SNUGGLED-IN or COVERED? We have unique dog beds that work great for the pet that likes to be covered or snuggled in when they sleep - the Cozy Cave Dog Bed and the high side wall Pet Couch.
2. SIZE: How big is your pet? (see examples below)
* MEASURE YOUR PET, from nose to rump as they are lying down, then add 5 inches if they like to sleep stretched out. Pick the next biggest size pet bed for that measurement (not the next smallest). For round pet beds use the diameter.
* WEIGHT, how much does your pet weigh? Often manufacturers will list a weight in the specifications. Use this as a general guideline only and in conjunction with measuring your pet as described above.

Use the above chart as a guide. The size of a breed of dog can vary so we encourage you to measure your pet to determine their individual size and always add extra inches so your pet has plenty of room. We offer products by many different manufacturers and all have different designs, styles, shapes, and sizes so every product page clearly lists the sizes for that model. Please double check the product sizes on the product pages prior to submitting your order. If you need assistance please feel free to call or email us prior to ordering. Go to our Contact Us page for contact information.

3. CONSTRUCTION: How and what materials are used to make the pet bed?

The type of filling, foam or poly fill, will determine the comfort and support levels of the pet bed. See above (#1) for a discussion of these two types of filling.
The quality of the materials used for the cover, and how the cover is joined, will determine durability. Waterproof fabric, washable fabrics may be important features to consider. Is cording on the seams, serged seams or double stitching used to prevent fraying. Read the description to find out!
