Smaller dogs quite frequently want to feel warm and snuggly, while larger dogs like to stretch out. Keeping this in mind smaller dogs frequently feel at ease in a bed with sides that they can cuddle up to at nighttime. Then again, large dog breeds would be uneasy in a bed with sides and will be comfier on a flat feather pillow bed.

Orthopedically dog beds are as well obtainable. These types of beds allow for additional comfort for older dogs or those with joint troubles, such as hip problems, back problems, knee troubles, or those who are simply just old and are having difficulty getting around. Just about all orthopedic beds are made from similar materials as beds made for humans, with high-density foam that allows for added support on the joints and makes it a lot easier for the large dog to go from sitting to standing up.

Shorter haired breed of dogs may get cold faster and would be more suited to a dog bed constructed of warmer fabric that will keep them warm all year round. Dog beds constructed of fleece, suede, or even couch like upholstery cloth would be perfect.

A machine washable easily removed cover is a good idea and one that should be looked into, particularly if your dog sheds a lot, or if he gets dirty real fast. It could also be advantageous to buy a bed cover that can be machine washed without fading or shrinking. Here's 6 Tips For Choosing a Large Dog Bed!
