It’s important to choose the right hooded dog bed for your specific four-legged friend:
- Measure your dog and look for a hooded dog bed for its specific size (big enough for it to be comfortable but without compromising on an element of safety and coziness)
- Do your nose a favor and choose one with a removable cover so that you can wash it regularly
- Synthetic options are the most common and easiest to clean, but you can always consider other materials in specific situations: breathable cotton in warmer climates and wool in the coldest, or sturdier, waterproof nylon if your dog has incontinence problems or tends to chew on things
- For older dogs, you should choose a hooded dog bed with orthopedic or memory foam cushioning
To determine the right size for your dog’s new hooded dog bed, consider their sleeping stance and their size. Hooded dog beds are best for burrowers, dogs with anxiety or separation issues, or any animal that likes curling up in a calm cave.
Some dogs are sprawlers, some sleep curled up like a doughnut, and others like to expose their underbelly to the world when they nap. Hooded dog beds are best for doughnut sleepers and dogs who like to burrow under the covers.
With hooded dog beds, it’s wise to go larger if you’re unsure which size to get. The most crucial step is to measure your dog’s dimensions while they’re in their natural sleeping position, adding 4”-6” for a small dog, 8”-12” for bigger dogs.
