Small dog beds made for cozy, secure sleep
Small dogs don’t just want a bed—they want a safe little zone. They curl up tight, chase warm spots, and often sleep best when they can press against something. That’s why the right small dog bed isn’t simply a scaled-down version of a big bed. It’s a bed designed for warmth, security, and easy everyday comfort.
This collection brings together dog beds for small dogs in the styles that small breeds actually use: cozy round beds that support curl-up sleep, bolstered beds that give a built-in headrest, and snug options that feel more “nest-like” than open floor beds. You’ll also find practical picks like washable small dog beds for real-life cleanup—because small dogs still shed, track dirt, and sometimes have accidents, especially during puppy stages.
If your dog is the type that steals your blanket, burrows under pillows, or always tries to sleep in corners, that’s not “being cute.” It’s preference. A well-chosen small breed dog bed matches that preference and makes your dog settle faster. And when the bed is the right size, your dog is more likely to use it consistently—meaning less couch claiming, less moving from spot to spot, and a calmer sleep routine overall.
How to choose the right bed for a small dog
The best small dog beds depend on how your dog sleeps, how warm your home is, and how you want the bed to fit into your space.
1) Choose the style that matches your dog’s sleep habits
-
Curl-up sleepers: round or bolstered beds usually work best because the edges act like a pillow and create a snug feel.
-
Burrowers: consider covered/cave-style beds (if your catalog includes them) or add a blanket on top.
-
Sprawlers (yes, some small dogs sprawl): pick a flatter bed with a wider surface.
2) Size it correctly (small doesn’t mean “tight”)
Measure your dog curled up and stretched out. If your dog is between sizes, size up slightly so they can change positions without leaving the bed.
3) Prioritize easy entry for older small dogs
If your dog is older or not very jumpy, avoid overly tall sides that make entry awkward. Low-to-medium bolsters often hit the sweet spot.
4) Don’t ignore washability
Small beds are easier to wash than large ones—take advantage of that. A washable small dog bed with a removable cover is the simplest “keep it fresh” solution, especially with shedding or puppy life.
5) Crate fit (if you use a crate)
A small dog bed for crates should fit snugly so it doesn’t bunch up. Measure the crate floor and compare to the bed’s exact dimensions.
Quick winning setup: a cozy bolstered or round bed sized for curl-up sleep + washable cover. Add a small throw blanket if your dog likes extra warmth.
