6 Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Dog Bed

Like us, dogs deserve a comfortable and safe space to relax and recharge. But over time, even the cosiest of dog beds can lose their shape and support. If you’re starting to notice signs of wear and tear or your pup just doesn’t seem as comfortable anymore, it might be time for a dog bed upgrade.

Here are 6 clear signs it’s time to replace your dog bed, and how choosing the right one can improve your pet’s comfort and your home’s aesthetic.

1. It’s lost its shape or support

If your dog bed is looking a little lumpy or flat, it’s no longer providing the support your pup needs, especially for older dogs or dogs with joint or health issues. A high-quality dog bed should retain its shape over time, giving your pet the support they need for a proper, well-deserved rest.

Look for a dog bed with firm, supportive filling that won’t sag after a few months.

2. Your dog prefers the sofa

If your dog is constantly abandoning their bed in favour of your sofa or bed, it’s probably a sign they’re not loving their current sleeping spot. Dogs naturally gravitate to where they feel most secure and supported.

3. It’s not smelling so fresh

Even with regular cleaning, older dog beds can hold onto odours and bacteria. If the bed still smells after a wash, or if no longer machine-washable, it might be time for a fresh start. Opt for dog beds with stain-resistant and easy clean fabrics to keep them fresh for longer.

4. It no longer fits your dog or your space

Puppies grow. Homes change. What once worked may now be too small for your dog or too bulky for your new layout. Look for dog beds that come in multiple sizes and tones that complement your furniture, whether that’s the armchair, dining table, or storage bed.

5. Your dog has specific needs

If your dog’s getting older and slower to rise in the morning, it calls for a dog bed that offers better support, warmth, and calming comfort. Memory foam or bolster-style dog beds can work wonders.

6. Your dog isn’t sleeping well

Is your dog tossing, turning, and shifting around all night? It might not be restlessness, it could be discomfort. Just like us, dogs sleep better with the right support.

A high-quality, well-designed dog bed ensures a deeper, more restful sleep, which means a happier, healthier dog.
