Choosing the Right Dog Bed Size (And Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better)

An oversized bed doesn't automatically mean more comfort — most dogs actually prefer a bed close to their curled-up size, with just enough room to stretch.

A simple rule: measure your dog nose-to-tail while curled up, then add 6-8 inches. Too much extra space can make a bed feel less secure, especially for anxious dogs.
