Dog Bed: Cosy Beds for Restful Sleep and Relaxed Dozing

Dog Bed: A Place to Snuggle Up and Rest

In a good dog bed your dog feels safe and can properly switch off. Here you'll find cuddly beds from Kerbl in many different shapes: fluffy plush donut beds, velour beds with reversible cushions, self-warming models, water-repellent beds and orthopaedic dog beds. On top of that there are snug puppy beds and raised loungers for the patio and the garden.

Which Bed Suits Your Dog?

Dogs that like to curl up when they sleep love round beds with a high rim. They can use it as a headrest and feel secure inside. A donut bed made of soft plush is a popular snuggle spot for small and medium-sized dogs. Older dogs or dogs with joint problems are better off on a memory foam base, because the foam moulds to the body and spreads the pressure. Self-warming beds store body heat and are ideal for dogs that feel the cold. Many of the beds suit cats too, by the way.

Care and Outdoor Use

A dog bed is used every day and collects hair, sand and smells. That's why it pays to look for washable covers or beds that can go into the washing machine as a whole. Water-repellent fabrics can be wiped clean quickly. For outdoors there's the raised Vacation dog lounger, also available with a sunshade. It keeps your dog off cold or wet ground and lets air circulate underneath. If you prefer something easy to care for, the dog basket Dreamer made of recycled plastic is a good choice: it is non-slip, simply wipes clean and can be combined with a soft cushion.

Frequently asked questions

How big should a dog bed be?
Measure your dog lying down from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail and add about 20 to 30 cm. Round beds for dogs that curl up can be a little smaller, for dogs that stretch out it's better to go bigger.

How often should I wash the dog bed?
It's best to wash the cover every one to two weeks, more often if it gets very dirty or someone has allergies. In between, regular vacuuming helps against hair and dust.

Why does my dog scratch at its bed before lying down?
Digging and turning in circles is completely normal behaviour. It's how dogs prepare their sleeping spot and make themselves comfortable. A sturdy, well-stitched cover will stand up to this for a long time.
