To measure your dog, measure from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail while they are standing up on all four feet. Add roughly 6" – 12" to make sure they have plenty of space. This should be the length of your dog bed. Measure your dog from shoulder to shoulder at their widest point.

Do dogs like bigger or smaller beds?
Most dogs like a bed to be large enough to have loads of room to manoeuvre, without being so giant that it ends up drafty. Remember that pups are pack animals and most love a snuggle, so if their bed is a little big, think about adding in a dog blanket or pillow to make it feel comfier!
How do I know what size my dog is?
Length: measure from the base of the collar to the base of the tail to find length. This measurement will be the most helpful in measuring a dog coat. Other measurements you may want to consider are girth and neck opening measurements. Girth: measure the widest part around your dog's chest behind the front legs.
