12 Best Dog Beds: Cooling, orthopaedic, hardshell beds

When we first set out to find a suitable dog bed for my dog, it was quite interesting looking at the different options available.

Especially because my dog was still a puppy, and a Pomsky, on top of that - we weren’t quite sure how big she would grow which made it slightly challenging finding a suitably sized bed for her. (Accordingly, it’s a gamble when you get Pomskies as some may be smaller Pomeranian-sized, while some may grow almost as big as Huskies.)

We ended up purchasing a dog bed for bigger dogs and have no regrets as she has since grown into it, and it gives her enough space to sleep and even stretch out while lying belly up.

Other considerations we made while finding a dog bed for her, were also whether the material was cooling, whether it had waterproof and washable removable covers so we can keep things hygienic even if she accidentally vomits in her bed (or a doggy friend of hers pees in her bed, true story).

If you’re on the hunt for the best dog bed for your fur baby, here are 12 dog beds we’ve found that range from cooling beds to orthopaedic beds, and even unique bean bag beds - depending on what you’re looking for.

P.S. If you have smaller dogs or even cats at home, you can also get creative and look out for other items such as the Ikea baby armchair that acts as an Ikea dog bed too - tried and tested.
