Find the Perfect Fit

A bed that fits well is a bed they'll actually use. Too small and there's nowhere to stretch. Too large and the sense of security disappears. For older dogs or those with joint discomfort, the right fit matters even more - it's where the support begins.

How to choose the right size

Step 1 - Measure your dog

Measure their length, nose to base of tail, while standing.

Our beds run a little roomier than the size name suggests, thanks to those wrap-around bolsters made for proper lounging. Worth measuring fresh, even if you've sized them elsewhere before.

Step 2 - Match their length to a size

Compare their length to the "For dogs under" size above. If they fall between two, or love to stretch out fully, we'd suggest sizing up for extra comfort.

On our Large, if your dog's between 84 and 96cm, they're slightly longer than the inner sleeping area, so stretched out, their head naturally rests on the bolster.

Step 3 - Check your space

The bolsters add 13 to 15cm on each side around the sleeping area, so the bed takes up a little more space than you'd expect. A quick measure of the spot in mind saves any surprises later.
