📏 How to Measure Your Dog

  • Measure your dog from nose to tail base while they are lying down.
  • Add 4-6 inches to that measurement for comfort.
  • Consider your dog’s weight along with their length.
  • Think about whether your dog likes to stretch out or curl up.
  • When in doubt, choose one size larger for maximum comfort.
🌙 Curlers

Dogs that sleep in a ball often do well with square cots. These sizes give them a cozy, balanced resting space.

🦴 Stretchers

Dogs that sprawl out usually need rectangle cots with extra length for full-body comfort.
