Large Dog Beds
We are often asked which of our large dog beds are best for certain breeds and this depends on a variety of factors.

- German Shepherd

- Doberman

This list is not exclusive and there are numerous breeds that are classed as large. If you have any of these breeds or those of a similar size, then you are placed choosing a larger dog bed that can offer your dog the comfort and support that they need.
What is the best type of bed for a large dog?
The best type of bed for a large dog is one that supports their frame. Larger breed dogs tend to suffer with more joint issues, such as hip dysplasia, than smaller dogs and often need a firmer choice of mattress. We offer a blended memory foam topper or an orthopaedic blended memory foam mattress.
What size bed should a large dog have?
While many dogs like to curl up in a ball to sleep, there are times when they like to have a good stretch and their dog bed needs to be large enough to not only do this but also to support their frame. Our large dog beds are designed for larger breeds to ensure that they feel well supported and secure.
