Picking the perfect bed for your doggo is all about finding that sweet spot between comfort, function, and style. It also requires thinking about their unique preferences and sleeping styles, whether they love to curl up, sprawl out, or snuggle into something cozy. Thankfully, there's a bed out there with their name on it! Here's a look at the different types of dog beds you can choose from for your pup.

Orthopedic Dog Beds: For the Senior Snoozers and Big Dogs

Does your dog need a little extra TLC? Orthopedic beds are like a memory foam dream for senior pups, dogs with joint problems, or even large breeds that could use extra comfort. These beds relieve pressure on joints and make lounging feel like pure bliss. They’re also ideal for pups recovering from injuries or surgery.

Donut and Covered Beds: For the Cuddlers, Curlers, and Burrowers

Ever notice your pup curling up into a ball while they sleep? Donut beds with raised sides (or bolsters) create a cozy, nest-like feel for dogs who want to snuggle in tight. It’s like a pillow fort for dogs!

Covered dog beds, or “cave beds,” give your pup a cozy space to snuggle up in that’s all theirs—nobody else can fit or peek inside. It’s their private, secure hideaway. Plus, they look absolutely adorable, like they’re camping in their very own little tent!

Temperature-Controlled Beds: For Pups Who Run Hot or Cold

When the temperature drops, heated beds are the perfect way to keep your pup toasty. Whether electric or self-warming, these beds are a game-changer for dogs who get cold easily and demand their human to cover them with a blanket or tucked into bed.

Got a pup who can’t handle the heat? Cooling beds are filled with gel or water and can help your dog stay comfortable when the temperature soars. These are perfect for dogs who always seem to be searching for the coolest spot in the house (mine literally drags blankets off her dog bed, the couch, and anywhere she can).

Calming Dog Beds: For the Anxious Pups

Calming beds are designed with anxious dogs in mind. These super soft, usually donut-shaped beds give a sense of security with their raised sides and coziness. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want one for myself!

Laundry can feel never-ending as it is, so we hate to add to your list, but do you remember to clean your pup’s belongings? Believe it or not, keeping their stuff clean is just as important for their health and happiness.

There’s something satisfying about giving their freshly cleaned things back and seeing how excited they get. Here’s a quick laundry list of the dog essentials that could use a good wash!

1. Dog Bed And Blankets

Your dog spends hours lounging, napping, and snoozing in their bed and blankets, which means they are bound to collect fur, dirt, and—let's be real—plenty of outdoor treasures (looking at you, stick pieces and all of the prized possessions they just have to roll on). Regular washing keeps these two items fresh and cozy for your pup.

2. Stuffed Animals

Toys take a lot of wear and tear, but that also means they can get pretty grimy. Toss your dog’s stuffed animals in the wash to get rid of drool, dirt, and germs. Even the beloved stuffies with missing arms, eyes, or legs can get a refresher with a spin through the delicate cycle.

3. Rubber Balls and Chew Toys

Rubber toys can get sticky with slobber and pick up all sorts of dirt and debris from the ground. Give them a scrub or a run through the dishwasher (check labels first) to keep them clean and safe for playtime.

4. Collar and Leash

We often forget about these, but they can collect dirt, sweat, and odors just like the rest of your pup's gear. A quick wash will make them look brand new, and your dog will look super fresh!

Let’s face it: Being a pet parent can feel like managing an ever-growing list of to-dos. From vet appointments to grooming sessions, playtime to training, keeping up with everything your dog needs can sometimes feel like you’re juggling a dozen balls at once.

But there’s one thing you can easily cross off your list: making sure they get the best food.

Even better, they offer a wide range of products, including Whole Food Clusters, Dehydrated Foods, treats, toppers, and supplements, making them the perfect addition to every dog’s mealtime.

• “Easy, easy, easy! This food is easy to store, easy to make (just add water) and my older dog likes it.” – Denyse C.

Even celebrities deal with normal dogs who chew on anything they can get their paws on. In this case, it was a pretty floral dress. During her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Drew Barrymore’s rescue dog, Douglas, decided Eva Mendes’ dress looked tasty.

As Mendes chatted about rediscovering herself as her children grow up and her new book, Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries, Douglas made his move. Mendes laughed, saying Douglas was “biting” the little roses, and joked, “Stella McCartney is going to love this!”

It’s even cuter to see Mendes showering Douglas with love and affection despite his dress-chewing—she must have a pup of her own! Drew Barrymore rescued Douglas 14 years ago in Los Angeles, and he’s definitely the star of the show.

Douglas is a great reminder that dogs are endlessly fascinating and so much fun to be around… no matter what they’re doing!
