Dog Bed Sizing Guide

Dog bed sizes would seem to be pretty straightforward. But then how small is small, exactly? Ask a Great Dane and a Yorkie, and you're going to get very different answers. As they might say in Wonderland, "Not all small dog beds are for small dogs." The names of the dog beds at iDogBeds.com can thus be a little confusing as to what size or type of dog they're appropriate for. To find out if the beds or dog cots you like are appropriate for your pup or grown-up, please reference the dog size and maximum weight on the individual product pages.

At iDogBeds.com, we make it easy to find small, medium, and large dog beds that are right for your breed(s). The chart below features the names of some common types of dogs and shows which dog bed would fit best with those types. Because all dogs are different and vary in size within each breed - dogs also grow, don't you know - we recommend using the guide before buying to ensure the exact fit for your particular dog.

Even though the dog bed size is not always related to the weight of the dog, we have provided general weight ranges for each size. Please keep in mind that the sizing guides are for adult dogs.
