Dog Beds for
Large Dogs

A good rule of thumb to figure out if your furry friend needs a large dog bed is to observe how they prefer to sleep or rest, then measure the space. Dogs who prefer to stretch out need large dog beds, while those who like to curl may need one a bit more snug.

The types of breeds that would require extra large dog beds include, but are not limited to:

• English Bulldog
• Pit Bull
• Border Collie
• Australian Shepherd
• German Shepherd
• Labrador Retriever
• Golden Retriever
• Standard Poodle
• Boxer
• Dalmatian

If your dog’s breed does not fall under the above list, it does not mean that they will not need a large dog bed. It all depends on your dog’s personal needs and is always best to measure them out first before purchasing.

We have a wide array of large dog beds that vary slightly in size.

Original Orthopedic Bully Bed: 48” x 30” x 7”

Infrared Dog Bed: 48” x 30” x 7”

Orthopedic 3 Sided Bolster Bed: 48” x 30” x 5”

The best large dog bed for your canine is one that can comfortably accommodate their size and weight – so that they do not sink into the floor if they are too heavy for the mattress. Those with bigger breeds should go for thicker dog beds to prevent this and protect their dog’s joints.

The 3 most important things to consider when choosing a large dog bed are:

• Which position does your dog sleep in?
• Are the covers easy to clean?
• Is it durable enough for the size and weight of your dog?

Our large dog beds all come with waterproof covers, making it a breeze to wipe off and clean up after your furry friends.

When it is time for a thorough wash, you can easily remove the covers, pop them in the washing machine and tumble with cold water. When it is time to dry the large dog bed, you can put them in the dryer on low heat or air dry.

Our Bully Beds all come with Certipur US Certified orthopedic foam that are non-hazardous, that each vary in thickness and dimensions based on the type of model.

All the large dog beds have covers that are washable and removable, and also vary in materials. Some are made with microfiber, others with Sherpa, still others with faux fur, and one option with a heavy-duty chew-resistant fabric.

Most of our large dog beds feel sturdy and durable, while our Sherpa top and Faux Fur options offer extra softness and comfort.

The best place to put large dog beds is by the wall or in a corner. This helps dogs feel more secure compared to open spaces. Never put the bed in the middle to avoid accidents in the dark or waking them up with noise.
