Dog Beds & Dog Baskets

Dog beds come in a variety of styles, each designed with different needs, environments, and dog characteristics in mind. Check the list below to get an overview of the most popular bed types available in zooplus’ wide range:

• Dog sofa beds: furniture for dogs that resembles a couch, and provides a comfortable elevated space to sleep or relax.
• Orthopaedic dog beds: otherwise known as memory foam dog beds, are designed with supportive materials to reduce pressure on joints, ideal for older or larger dogs.
• Raised dog beds: cot-style beds that lift dogs off the ground, which may keep them cool and dry, great for warm climates and outdoor use.
• Outdoor & waterproof dog beds: often chosen for dogs that love to lounge outside in the garden. They are easy to clean, and while not indestructible dog beds, they are built to last.
• Dog dens & igloo beds: Hooded or enclosed beds, often chosen by owners looking to offer privacy and a safe retreat for anxious or shy dogs.

Consider your dog’s age, health, and sleeping style. Orthopaedic support is popular among owners of older dogs, while softer and smaller beds are frequently chosen for puppies. Measure your dog for proper size, and choose practical features like washability, durability, and materials suited to your dog’s habits.

Dog owners often say the shape of a dog bed can influence how comfortable and secure your dog feels. While some dogs like to stretch out fully and others curl up or burrow for privacy. Check the list below to see which dog bed shape suits your dog’s sleeping style:

• Oval Dog Beds: Offer flexible space for dogs to stretch or curl, suitable for dogs that move around in their sleep.
• Donut & Round Dog Beds: Nest-style beds that support curling and circling behaviours, often preferred by small to medium breeds.
• Square Dog Beds: Provide more open space for larger dogs who like to stretch out fully.

Measure your dog from nose to tail base and add 15–30 cm (6–12 in) for comfort. Ensure the width supports the hips and shoulders in your dog’s preferred sleeping position. A well-sized bed is chosen by owners looking to promote restful sleep and overall comfort.

Look for durable fabrics like polyester, canvas, and nylon, or synthetic materials like microfiber and vinyl. For easy cleaning, choose options such as plastic dog beds or hygienic dog beds with removable covers that can be machine-washed.

Accessories can make a dog bed more comfortable and practical for daily use. They may provide extra padding, be chosen to regulate temperatures, or make cleaning easier:

• Dog Blankets: Chosen by owners seeking to provide extra warmth and softness, ideal for older or small dogs.
• Vetbed: Durable, absorbent mats that are easy to clean and are chosen to provide comfort for dogs with mobility issues.
• Dog Cushions & Mattresses: Additional padding for larger beds or sofas, increasing support for joints.
• Cool Mats & Heated Pads: May help owners looking to regulate temperature, which may keep dogs comfortable in both warmer and cooler months.
