Pet Bed Sizing Chart

There are three rules of thumb often used when answering this question.

1. Measure Your Pet Lying Down.
2. Use the Weight of the Pet.
3. When in doubt get the larger, not the smaller size.

In general measuring your pet lying down as he/she is normally accustomed to lying, is the best way. 
 
Measure from nose or front legs, to back legs or rump;
add 9" to 12."

Pick the size of the bed that will best fit those measurements, remembering that round bed measurements are in diameter (width across the circle).

While it is always best to measure your pet, we also provide the following guidelines for choosing the correct bed.

Use your best judgement if using the following table, note that different manufactures have different sizing criterias for small, large etc., use the size estimates on the left side of the table as well as your dog's weight on the right.  Remember that the breed examples are based on the average sized dog of that breed, if your dog is very large or very small for his or her breed you should adjust your size choice accordingly.  Again it is generally better to buy too big a bed than too small of one.
