What type of bed should I purchase?Updated 10 months ago

When deciding on a bed, there are two main factors to consider: your pup's sleeping style, and their destructive level.

First, does your dog usually sprawl out, curl up, lean up against things? 

SPRAWLERS love to stretch out. These are the pups that will lay on their side, flip on their backs, use all the surface area their bed has to offer. We recommend our Tough Rectangle Orthopedic or Tough Rectangle Nesting Beds for this kind of sleeper. 

CURLERS prefer to curl up when they sleep. Paws and noses tucked in to provide warmth and conserve body heat. We recommend our Tough Oval Bolster Bed or Tough Round Nesting Bed for a cozy experience.

LEANERS love the sense of security bolster beds can bring. They like to lean up against something and prop their heads on pillows. We recommend our Tough Bolster Beds, which feature raised walls for extra support.

For really BIG DOGS, consider our K9 Giant Beds that offer more surface area and an optional bolster. They are made thicker, with 7” orthopedic mattresses for maximum pressure relief. They come in two versions: K9 Giant Rectangle or K9 Giant Bolster Beds. We do have other beds that come in XXL sizes, but these other beds are 5" thick (or less). 

Now, the above options are all great for dogs that like to scratch, dig, and roughhouse with their bedding, but if you've got a dog that chews a lot (and tends to quickly destroy their bedding), you'll need something stronger.

That's where our Chew Proof Armored Dog Beds come in!

The Chew Proof Armored beds all share one powerful feature: an all-aluminum frame, which guards every edge of the bed from damage. Even the corners are made from aluminum, just powder coated black for a little extra style. These are the only beds we have that are considered chew proof, and the only beds meant for aggressive or persistent chewers

These beds all share a minimalist design, eliminating any easy targets that a chewer might focus on. We have both padded and non-padded options, elevated and non-elevated options, and three fabric types (rip-stop ballistic, vinyl, and mesh) to fit every need.
