When it comes to keeping our furry friends happy and comfortable, choosing the right dog bed is an essential task that requires thought and consideration. Large dog breeds, from the playful Labrador Retriever to the majestic German Shepherd, need spacious and cozy spots to stretch out and sleep peacefully. In this guide, we will share tips on how to choose the perfect large dog bed, with a special introduction to Sweet Dream Baskets' beautifully crafted options.


Importance of a Good Dog Bed

A good dog bed provides your pet with a sense of security and comfort, crucial for their well-being. Dogs, especially larger breeds, benefit from a space that accommodates their size and sleeping styles. When selecting a bed, consider factors such as size, material, and design.


Choosing the Right Size Bed


Measure Your Dog

To find a perfect fit, measure your dog while they are lying down in their favorite sleeping position. This measurement will give you an idea of how much space they need, ensuring they can stretch but also feel snug and secure.

At Sweet Dream Baskets, we offer a variety of large dog beds in different sizes to cater to the needs of your beloved pet:

- L-Size: 60 cm diameter with cushion – perfect for breeds like a French Bulldog or Beagle, offering enough space to relax.

- XL-Size: 75 cm diameter with cushion – designed for larger breeds such as Shiba Inu and Bulldog, providing ample room for comfortable sleeping.


Consider Your Home Space

Apart from your dog's size, evaluate the space in your home where the bed will be placed. You want a bed that fits well in the chosen spot, so it doesn’t crowd the area, ensuring both you and your pet enjoy the space.

Consider the temperature of your location and house and how they affect your dog. Large-size Sweet Dream Baskets contain double sided cushions. One side is a very soft faux-fur that will cuddle your dog in winter. The other side is a cotton-based fabric, suitable for summer.


Material Matters



Why Choose Eco-Friendly Materials?

Sweet Dream Baskets specializes in eco-friendly dog beds made from recycled and cotton-based yarns. Our beds not only pamper your pets but also contribute to a sustainable future. Each bed is hand-knitted, combining durability and comfort. Cotton is both soft and breathable, making it ideal for year-round use – keeping your dog cool in the summer and warm in the winter.


Cushions for Added Comfort

Our large dog beds come with cushions for optimal support. For smaller breeds, our S and M size baskets allow for use with or without cushions, while the L and XL sizes feature a thin wood base for added stability and comfort.
