Dog Beds: Durable Baskets, Mattresses & Cushions

Dog Beds for Every Size, Age and Sleep Style

At Petbarn, quality sleep underpins your dog's health, comfort and wellbeing. Our range of dog beds spans every breed, size and sleeping habit, from puppies to senior dogs and from indoor loungers to outdoor adventurers. Whether your dog curls into a tight ball, sprawls flat, rests its head on a raised edge or likes to burrow, there is a bed shaped to how they actually sleep.

Match the Bed to How Your Dog Sleeps

The fastest way to choose is to watch how your dog settles:

• Curlers who tuck into a ball suit donut beds, calming beds and nest styles with a raised, surrounding rim.
• Sprawlers who stretch out flat are best on a mattress bed or a flat orthopaedic mattress.
• Leaners who rest their head and legs over an edge suit bolster beds with raised sides.
• Burrowers who like to dig and hide do best with cave or covered beds, or a blanket they can nose under.

Orthopaedic and Supportive Dog Beds

Orthopaedic dog beds are built for ageing dogs and pets with joint stiffness, using high-density and memory foam to relieve pressure and support the spine. They suit large breeds, recovering dogs and any pet that needs firmer, even support.

Calming and Anti-Anxiety Dog Beds

Calming dog beds use a deep, surrounding rim and soft, fur-like filling to give anxious or nervous dogs a sense of security. The raised edge supports the head and neck and encourages the curled sleeping position that helps dogs settle, making them well suited to rescue dogs, nervous sleepers and dogs prone to separation anxiety.
Note: link target depends on whether a calming subcategory exists; create or map accordingly.

Cooling and Temperature-Regulating Dog Beds

Cooling dog beds help regulate body temperature through breathable fabrics and cooling gel or self-cooling surfaces. They are ideal for warmer months and for dogs that tend to overheat, including thick-coated and flat-faced breeds.

Raised and Elevated Dog Beds

Raised dog beds lift your dog off the ground to promote airflow underneath, keeping them cooler and reducing contact with hard or uneven surfaces. The taut, off-the-floor surface also makes them easy to clean, and they suit both indoor and outdoor use.

Outdoor and Waterproof Dog Beds

Outdoor dog beds are made from durable, weather-resistant materials for patios, balconies and backyards. Look for waterproof beds with wipe-clean or water-repellent covers where your dog rests somewhere damp, muddy or exposed to the elements.

Bed Shapes and Materials at a Glance

Beyond bed type, the shape and fill change how a bed feels and lasts:

• Mattress and flat beds give sprawlers room to stretch out.
• Bolster beds add raised sides for dogs that like to lean.
• Donut and nest beds wrap around curlers for warmth and security.
• Memory and high-density foam hold their shape and support joints.
• Chew-resistant builds stand up to dogs that gnaw and dig.

How to Choose the Right Size

To size a dog bed, measure your dog nose to tail while they are lying in their usual sleeping position, then add 15 to 20 cm so they can shift and stretch. As a starting guide:

• Small suits dogs up to roughly 10 kg, such as Cavoodles and French Bulldogs.
• Medium suits roughly 10 to 20 kg, such as Border Collies and Bulldogs.
• Large suits roughly 20 to 35 kg, such as Labradors and Boxers.
• Extra large suits dogs over 35 kg, such as Great Danes and Mastiffs.

If your dog is between sizes or still growing, size up

Blankets, Throws and Comfort Layers
