A reliable dog bed will be one of the first purchases you make for your pet, alongside essentials such as dog leads, dog toys and dog collars. Whether you've brought home a tiny puppy, share your house with a senior dog or you’re in dire need of an upgrade for that old, flattened cushion they’ve been laying on, the best dog bed can make a noticeable difference to their comfort, recovery and quality of sleep.
These days, most dog beds have a lot more to offer than a simple padded mat, and long gone are days of wicker baskets and tartan blankets. Here, you'll find supportive memory foam mattresses for ageing joints, cosy bolstered designs for dogs that love to curl up, cooling beds for summer and durable, wipe-clean styles built to withstand muddy paws after long walks. With so many shapes, fillings and fabrics to choose from, finding the right one can quickly become overwhelming.
