When you’ve got a big dog, everything’s gotta be bigger: the snacks, the toys, the play times, and, yeah: the beds. ESPECIALLY the beds! At the BARK office, we’re no stranger to bigger dogs. My favorite might be a lumbering mutt named Ziggy, the most awkward dog in the world. He’s a little shy and a lotta clumsy, but he’s great at sleeping! (…That is, when he’s not getting nudged off his big bed by a mischievous little Dachshund named Andi.) So if you’re looking for a quality dog bed for your big dog… or maybe just a very big bed for a very little dog with a very big ego… here are our tips:
BARKBOX ORTHOPEDIC GEL MEMORY FOAM DOG BED

Its minimalist style looks great in any home, and the removable cover comes off easily for washing.

This bed is built with a non-skid bottom, and the machine-washable cover is both water and tear resistant, in case your dog is a, shall we say, messy sleeper (like Ziggy.) Although this bed is slightly smaller than some of the beds on our list, it’s still plenty of space for a reasonably big dog… and quite spacious for a sneaky little dog.
