We large breed and giant breed dog owners are a special breed! We need to choose the right products for our pups to accommodate their large frames to insure their comfort. This is especially true when it comes to their sleeping quarters.

Is your dog sleeping on a bed that fits? What Shape Dog Bed Should I Choose? To decide what shape is best for your pup, a couple of factors come into play. Does your dog stretch out when sleeping or curl up like a peanut? Is your pup a sprawler or a head tucker? If your dog sleeps sprawled out, a rectangular bed or an oval shaped bed seem the practical choice. If your dog sleeps in a big bundle or tucked in a knot, a round or square dog bed will work. Small, Medium or Large? Measure the length of your dog when he/she is lying down to get an accurate measurement. Take the measurement of your dog lying in their side and make sure the bed you choose will accommodate this measurement, keeping in mind that bigger is not always better.

Soft or Firm? Some of the larger breed dogs have muscle or bone problems through out their lives and especially in their elder years. A nice firm bed is the best choice in this case. For the younger pups, or dogs who don’t have any problem finding the “sweet spot” in a pile of clothing, a softer bed will do. There are also beds that have adjustable fillings inside, like the Fatboy Doggielounge dog bed, with removable insulated beads for extra added comfort.

Cotton, Nylon, Cashmere, Chenille? Not only should you love the way your dog bed looks, but you should love the way it feels. All natural fabrics are an awesome idea for humans, but not always the practical choice for our canine kids. Synthetic fabrics ad combinations wear better and also wash well. 100% cotton is also an excellent and practical choice. We recommend Jax & Bones 100% cotton canvas durable & washable dog beds. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and there are nearly 50 different fabrics to choose from.

Fatboy Doggielounge makes an awesome nylon bed that wipes down easily and wears well on the patio or outside during the summer months. Our custom dog bed line by Decadent Digs offers you a choice of premium chenille, cotton, mohair and wool blend fabrics and has a number styles to choose from. These dog beds are the most luxurious dog beds out there and will enhance the decor of the nicest homes. You just give us your dogs size, and we’ll have the right bed made for you! All of our beds at TheVelvetSnoot.com are made from commercial grade premium fabrics and are 100% washable. All in all, it’s most important that your dog loves his bed the most, so keep in mind what your dogs personal preference may be and we are sure he will be happy with your choice!
