Measure your dog from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail and add 15–30 cm to allow for comfortable stretching. This will ensure the bed offers enough space. Note that most stores list the outside dimensions; for beds with high sides, the inside dimensions are important.

There are different types:

• Flat and padded, ideal for older dogs or those with joint problems.
  
• With raised edge and entry, suitable for agile dogs.
  
• Soft, without a rim, easy to transport—great for traveling or as a second bed.

For dogs with joint problems, orthopedic beds with memory foam are particularly recommended.

Many dog beds have removable covers that can be machine washed at 40°C without fabric softener. Some models can be fully washed, while others should only be air-dried. Tumble drying is not always recommended, as it can damage the filling.

You have a 14-day return period. Make sure the bed is unused and clean. Personalized or custom-made dog beds are non-returnable.
