Like humans, dogs have individual sleep preferences. And since there are hundreds of different beds to choose from, finding the right one can be a head-spinning endeavor. A splooter? A curler? Do you prefer a warm dirt hole or a king-size human bed where you still manage to take up all the space?
Unfortunately, if your dog just wants to sleep in the bed with you, well, you may be out of luck. This dog bed offers a low front opening, for easy access.
And it has one of the simplest covers to spot-clean of all the beds we tested. Dogs who like to sleep curled up with their bodies pressed up against things will love this cuddler-style bed. The pillowy bottom and raised bolsters make a cozy nest. The soft, durable faux-suede cover can withstand normal diggingβbut as on our other top pick, it will wear out eventually.
This is the most expensive of all the beds we tested, but the ripstop-backed cover is designed to resist tears and punctures or your money back , which may save you money in the long run. The two-layer foam mattress is comfortable and well constructed. With more than two dozen colors and prints, this simple lounger can appeal to a wide range of tastes.
The covers look great and clean up well under normal dirty-dog conditions. Skip buying a whole new dog bed. Instead, you can stuff your old blankets and clothes into one of these duvet covers. For this guide, we scratched, stained, stripped, cleaned, and reassembled 22 different dog beds. We interviewed veterinarians and animal behaviorists to learn about the sleep preferences of dogs and how they relate to the various dog-bed styles.
