Measure your dog or cat lengthwise while he’s sleeping. Some pets curl up and some stretch out, which is why it’s not advisable to measure while your pet is awake.
As a rule, these breeds match these sizes of bed. But remember, it may be necessary to opt for a larger or smaller bed depending on how the dog likes to sleep, and it should also be taken into consideration whether the particular dog is larger or smaller than the average breed size. Breed sizes also often differ between males and females of the same breed. When in doubt, take the larger size bed. This is a rough guide for bed sizes based on breeds:
Tiny dogs, such as Chihuahuas, Pekinese, Toy Poodles, and Pomeranians take nesting beds measuring 16” x 21” and pillow beds measuring 30” x 36.”
Small dogs, such as Dachshunds, Pugs, Scottish Terriers, and Miniature Schnauzers take nesting beds measuring 18” x 23” and pillow beds measuring 30” x 36.”
Medium-sized dogs, such as Australian Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels, and Keeshonds take nesting beds measuring 21” x 28” and pillow beds measuring 36” x 45.”
Large dogs, such as Afghans, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and English Setters take nesting beds measuring 24” x 36” and pillow beds measuring 45” x 52.”
Extra-large dogs, such as Bloodhounds, Irish Wolfhounds, Great Danes, and Mastiffs take nesting beds measuring 28” x 43” and pillow beds measuring 45” x 52.”
The most important consideration in sizing a dog’s bed is to make sure the dog has enough room. Although a bed that is just the right size is the goal, it is better to err on the side of caution and end up with a bed that is too big rather than one that is too small. eBay's range of beds in all sizes, shapes, materials and colours will allow you to make an informed choice with as wide a choice as possible.
