5 Top Tips – Choosing Big Canine Beds

When choosing a large dog bed you need to bear in mind how they tend to sleep, do they curl up or do they stretch out and rest, you also need a dog bed which will provide the build quality and offer the support for the weight and length of the dog.

1. Measure from his/her nose right to their back-end where the tail begins.
2. Measure the length of the front legs.
3. Do the same for the rear legs.
4. Add them all together
5. Now deduct half the length of his/her front legs from the total. The reason for this is when extended most dogs don’t exceed the end of their nose too far.
