Choosing a Bed Size
Things To Consider
- Pay attention to which way your pet tends to sleep. If they curl up in a ball or if they sprawl out. These can be big factors in the required size of bed you will need.
- Measure your pet while its sleeping to get the most accurate measurement. Generally a pet bed slightly larger than your pets measurements is what you will need.
- Bolster beds are beds with a raised padded exterior such as donut beds. These beds are measured by there interior dimensions or the "sleeping area".
