“Your pet may spend more time lying down during the winter months, because just like us, the cold weather tends to slow them down to conserve energy and keep warm,” says PETstock VET, Dr Sasha Nefedov. “Invest in a thicker, warmer bed in winter to make sure your pet has somewhere comfortable to lie down throughout the day and night,” she adds.

Not only will a cosy bed keep your dog warm in winter, it’s wise to create ‘safe space’ for your dog to retreat to when their feeling tired or anxious. “It’s important your pet has 24-hour access to a comfortable bed to call their own, so they know where their safe space is,” says Dr Nefedov.

On that note, we’ve rounded up some of the cosiest and stylish dog beds on the market right now.

Do dogs sleep better on dog beds?

A comfortable place to sleep is essential for anyone, including your pup. A high-quality dog bed provides physical support tailored to their age, size, and any health conditions such as arthritis or joint issues. Additionally, having their own bed can help establish a routine for sleeping, making them feel safe and secure, and often improving behaviour. Plus, studies and anecdotal evidence has shown that dogs tend to sleep longer and more soundly with a familiar sleeping spot.

What’s the best type of bed for a dog?

Choosing the best type of bed for your dog depends on their size, comfort and health. Larger breeds need more space to stretch out, while smaller dogs may feel more secure in a cosier and snuggly bed. For senior dogs or those with joint problems, orthopaedic beds offer added support to ease pressure on hips and joints. Consider factors such as material, as hypoallergenic and moisture-resistant materials are ideals for dogs with allergies, or in homes that tend to overheat. These materials can also make clean-up easier if your dog has an accident. Look for a bed with a removable, machine-washable cover to make maintenance simple and keep things fresh.

Do dogs prefer soft or firm beds?

Whether your dog prefers a soft or firm bed often comes down to individual preference. Some dogs benefit from a firmer bed as it provide more stability and support especially if they have joint or muscle issues, making orthopaedic beds a top choice. Younger, smaller and more active dogs may want something softer to snuggle in. Make sure you’re away of your dogs unique needs: sometimes it’s just about trials and error!
