Size Guide

How to measure your dog

  1. With your dog standing or stretched out on their side, measure from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail.
  2. Add 6–8 inches to that length.
  3. Match the result to the sleep area column below.

When you’re between sizes, size up. Dogs stretch and sprawl in their sleep, and a bed that’s a touch too big always beats one that’s a touch too small.

Bed dimensions

Size Outer (in) Sleep area (in) Bolster height (in) Recommended dog
Small 24 × 18 18 × 12 4 Up to 25 lb — e.g., Yorkie, Mini Dachshund, Shih Tzu
Medium 31 × 24 24 × 18 5 26–45 lb — e.g., Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, French Bulldog
Large 36 × 28 28 × 22 6 46–80 lb — e.g., Border Collie, Boxer, Pit Bull
Extra Large 42 × 32 32 × 26 6 81+ lb — e.g., Lab, Golden, German Shepherd, Doodle

Multi-dog households

If two dogs share a bed, measure the longer dog and size up one. Two large dogs are usually happier with two large beds than one extra-large — they like a bit of personal space, even when they pretend not to.
