Every Dog Bed from $150 Ships Free

FAQs

Orders and shipping

When will my order arrive?

It depends on the brand: each one makes and ships its own orders, and every product page says how soon it ships. We email a tracking link as soon as it does. The details for each brand are on our Shipping page and below.

Is shipping free?

Every dog bed of $150 or more ships free, from any brand: see the beds. Everything else ships free on bigger orders: each brand sets its own free-shipping amount, listed on our Free Shipping page and below.

It’s based on your subtotal: what the items in your bag cost, before tax and shipping. Your Doggie Bag shows exactly what you’ll pay, and how close you are to free shipping, before you check out. A gift card or promo code you use at checkout doesn’t change your shipping.

Where’s my tracking?

We email a tracking link when your order ships. You can also check on your order anytime at Track Order with your order number (it starts with SB-) and the email you ordered with. Still stuck? Contact us.

Why did my order arrive in two boxes?

Items from different brands ship separately, and a bed and its extras can too. You still pay shipping once, at checkout.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Contact us as soon as you can, ideally within 24 hours. Once your order ships, we can’t change or cancel it.

Can you tell me when something’s back in stock?

Yes. When the size and color you want is sold out, leave your email under the Add to Doggie Bag button. We’ll send you one email when it’s back, then delete your address. It doesn’t sign you up for anything else.

Do you ship outside the US?

No. We ship within the US only: all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

Can I send a bed as a gift?

Yes. Enter their address as the shipping address at checkout.

Do I need an account?

No. Checkout is handled securely by Stripe. Just give us your email so we can send your receipt and tracking.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. A gift card goes out by email, works on any bed or extra and never expires. They enter the code at checkout.

How can I pay?

Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, Apple Pay and Google Pay on supported devices, Link, and Klarna if you’d rather pay over time. Card details go straight to Stripe and never reach our servers.

Is there a military discount?

Not at our checkout. American Dog gives current and former U.S. military, military spouses and dependents, first responders, government employees and teachers up to 20% off on its own website. How to get it is under American Dog, further down this page.

Beds

Which bed is right for my dog?

It depends on how they sleep. Donuts, side sleepers, belly-ups, lions, flyers and cuddlers each have a bed shape that suits the way they lie. The bed finder matches their bed and their size, and covers older dogs, dogs who run hot, diggers and more.

What size do I need?

Weight is a good guide, and our size guide lists the weights each size suits. To be sure, measure your dog from nose to the base of the tail while they sleep, and pick a bed at least that long. Between sizes, or a dog who sprawls? Size up.

How do I wash it?

Every bed has a cover you can take off and machine wash. The steps differ a little by brand: they’re in our care guide and on each product page.

Is it chew-proof?

No bed is. For a dog who digs or chews, pick a tougher fabric, like American Dog’s Armor™, and keep an eye on them.

Returns

Can I return a bed?

Returns follow the terms of the brand that made it, listed on our Returns page. Contact us with your order number before you send anything back, and we’ll tell you what happens next.

Brand by brand

Each brand we sell has its own shipping, returns, care and warranty. Here's everything about each one.

American Dog

Denver, Colorado · Made in the USA

American Dog started in Denver in 2014 with Gracie, a warehouse dog who spent her days talking coworkers into one more game. The team behind it had been sewing tough gear from military-grade fabrics for years, so they started making things for her.

Everything American Dog makes is sewn in the USA. Its beds and pads come in two fabrics: Furvana™, plush minky fleece over a tough nylon base, and Armor™, 1680D ballistic nylon all over.

Its toys are made for fetch and tug: 1000D nylon that squeaks and floats, 1680D ballistic nylon that crunches, and soft minky fleece that crinkles and floats.

Shipping

American Dog ships free on orders of $250 or more in the contiguous US. Below that, shipping is shown at checkout.

Every American Dog bed of $150 or more ships free on its own, in the contiguous US, whatever else is in your bag.

Alaska and Hawaii cost more to reach, so free shipping doesn't cover them. After you order, we'll email you the extra shipping. Pay it, or cancel for a full refund.

American Dog makes and ships each order from Denver within 5 business days. Smaller orders go by USPS, and larger ones by UPS Ground or FedEx. Most arrive 2 to 4 days after they ship, depending on where they're going. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships.

Beds and pads ship compressed and vacuum-sealed, in the smallest box they fit. Once a bed is out of its seal, give it time to expand before the first nap.

When more than one thing fits in a box, they ship together.

American Dog orders ship to all 50 states and Washington, D.C. There's no express shipping on American Dog orders.

Returns

American Dog wants every customer to love what they get, and if you need to return an order, it's happy to help: get in touch and it takes you through the process.

For an order from us, contact us with your order number within 30 days of delivery and we'll take care of you. Please don't send anything back before you hear from us.

Care

Unzip the cover and machine wash it, then dry it on low heat. It dries quickly.

Hand wash the inner pads and liners only. They don't go in the washer.

Putting a round bolster bed back together

  1. Find the three zippers underneath: the two outer ones are for the bolster, and the middle one is for the bed pad.
  2. Open the two outer zippers and pull the cover open.
  3. Reach through both openings and pull one end of the bolster through about a third of the way.
  4. Pull the longer end of the bolster through the opposite opening.
  5. Tuck the end that's sticking out into its channel, overlapping the first end by about 5 inches.
  6. Zip the outer zippers closed, then open the middle zipper.
  7. Push the bed pad into the middle opening, one side and then the other.
  8. Zip the middle zipper, flip the bed over, and add one dog.

Warranty

American Dog doesn't publish a warranty for its beds and pads.

If something's wrong with yours, contact us with your order number and a photo, and we'll take care of you.

Toy care

Machine wash in cold water on the gentle cycle, then let it air dry.

Toy warranty

No dog toy is indestructible, and American Dog doesn't claim otherwise. If your dog destroys one of its toys in the first 10 days, American Dog replaces it free, once.

Contact us with your order number and a photo, and we'll take care of you. You don't need to send the toy back.

Military discount

American Dog gives current and former U.S. military, military spouses and dependents, first responders, government employees and teachers up to 20% off on its own website.

Verify with GOVX ID on American Dog's military discount page and you get a single-use code for its checkout, one code a day. The code doesn't work at our checkout, so if you qualify, order from American Dog.

Who makes these beds?

American Dog, a small company in Denver, Colorado. Every bed and pad is sewn in the USA, with up-cycled foam that would otherwise go to a landfill.

What is Furvana™?

The soft one: a curly minky fleece top over a 1680D ballistic nylon bottom with a non-skid strip.

What is Armor™?

The tough one: 1680D ballistic nylon top and bottom, with hidden zippers and a waterproof cover, made for the heaviest scratchers, diggers and chewers. If your dog sleeps outside or chews whatever they lie on, it's the one to pick.

Are they chew-proof?

No bed is, and American Dog doesn't claim otherwise. Keep an eye on a dog who likes to tear things apart.

Is Furvana™ waterproof?

Not the top: Furvana™ beds have a liner under the cover, but the fleece top isn't waterproof.

Is Armor™ waterproof?

Yes: Armor™ covers are waterproof, which helps with the occasional accident and makes them good for camping.

Are they good for older dogs?

American Dog designs its beds as orthopedic beds for older dogs and dogs with sore hips. The shredded foam inside shapes itself around the body instead of pushing back. For a dog who struggles to step up, a flat bed is easier to get onto than a bolster bed.

How do I wash one?

Unzip the cover and machine wash it, then dry it on low heat. It dries quickly. Hand wash the inner pads and liners only.

Will a cover fit my bed?

American Dog's spare round covers fit its round beds. Pick the same size as your bed (Small 25 in, Medium 32 in, Large 37 in or X-Large 45 in). A cover comes without the pad inside.

When will my order ship?

American Dog makes and ships each order within 5 business days, by USPS, UPS Ground or FedEx. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships, and you can check anytime on Track Order.

Are the toys chew-proof?

No toy is. American Dog makes its toys for fetch, tug and play with you, not for chewing. Play together, and put the toy away when playtime's over, so it isn't left with a dog who likes to take things apart.

Which toys squeak, and which float?

Diggity Dog, Tommy Turtle, Flyin’ Fish, Pickle Ball and Da Bone, in 1000D nylon, squeak and float, and so does Flora the Flamingo, in minky fleece, with her squeaker in her beak. Moo-Ria the Cow and Allie Gator crinkle and float, with no squeaker. The 1680D ballistic nylon toys crunch, with no squeaker: Bad To Da Bone, Bungee Bone, the Apple Tug, the Double Bungee Tug, the Infinity Tug, Tug N’ Toss and the Catapult Cage.

Who makes the toys?

American Dog, in Denver, Colorado. Every toy is sewn in the USA.

Paw.com

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Paw.com started with Dave and his dog Marlie. Tired of dog beds that didn’t look good at home, he set out to make ones worthy of a member of the family, and Marlie still tests every one.

Paw.com designs everything it makes in house, for dogs and the homes they share: PupRug® memory foam beds that look like faux fur rugs, and PupProtector™ blankets and car covers, waterproof inside, that keep sofas, beds and car seats clean.

Until 2019 it was called Treat A Dog, so an older product may carry that name.

Shipping

Paw.com ships free on orders of $150 or more in the contiguous US, after discounts and before tax. Below that, shipping is shown at checkout.

Alaska and Hawaii cost more to reach, so free shipping doesn't cover them. After you order, we'll email you the extra shipping. Pay it, or cancel for a full refund.

Paw.com gets every in-stock order out within 1 to 2 business days, and most leave the same day, by UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, OnTrac or Amazon Shipping. Most arrive 2 to 5 days after they ship. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships.

Everything arrives in its own box, vacuum-sealed or wrapped in plastic.

Paw.com orders ship to all 50 states and Washington, D.C. There's no express shipping on Paw.com orders.

Paw.com takes returns within 30 days. Something unopened and unused, still sealed in its original box, is refunded less a $25 processing fee. Something opened but undamaged is refunded less a 20% restocking fee and a $25 return shipping fee.

For an order from us, contact us with your order number and we'll take care of you. Please don't send anything back before you hear from us.

Care

Unzip the cover and machine wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low or no heat. A damp cloth lifts most stains without a wash.

The foam doesn't go in the washer. Spot clean it with a damp cloth, warm water and a little dish soap, press the water out without wringing it, and let it air dry.

Take the bolsters out of the cover before you wash it.

If the faux fur mats, brush and fluff it gently with a slicker brush.

Warranty

Paw.com guarantees the foam in its beds against flattening for ten years.

If the foam in yours flattens, contact us with your order number and a photo of the foam, and we'll take care of you.

Blanket care

Machine wash cold on the delicate cycle, then tumble dry on low or no heat.

If the faux fur mats, brush and fluff it gently with a slicker brush.

Blanket warranty

Paw.com doesn't publish a warranty for its blankets. One that arrives damaged or defective is refunded in full or exchanged within 30 days (see Returns).

If something's wrong with yours, contact us with your order number and a photo, and we'll take care of you.

Travel care

The back seat cover: vacuum it, or give it a good shake outdoors. Then machine wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle and let it air dry. You can also spot clean it with a damp cloth, or hose it down outside.

The cargo liner: vacuum it, or give it a good shake outdoors. Then machine wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle and let it air dry. You can also spot clean it with a damp cloth, or hose it down outside.

A car bed’s cover comes off for the wash. The memory foam inside doesn’t go in the washer: spot clean it with a damp cloth and let it air dry.

The PupTote™: wipe the faux leather clean with a damp cloth. Its faux fur insert comes out to be washed.

Travel warranty

Paw.com doesn't publish a warranty for its travel gear. One that arrives damaged or defective is refunded in full or exchanged within 30 days (see Returns).

If something's wrong with yours, contact us with your order number and a photo, and we'll take care of you.

If something's wrong with yours, contact us with your order number and a photo, and we'll take care of you.

Who makes these?

Paw.com, a company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which designs everything it makes in house. Its founder’s dog, Marlie, tests every bed. It was called Treat A Dog until 2019, so you may see that name on an older product.

Are the PupRug® beds orthopedic?

Paw.com makes them as orthopedic beds: a memory foam base about 2 inches thick, which relieves pressure and supports the joints. That helps older dogs and dogs with arthritis or hip dysplasia, and big dogs from a young age.

Is it real fur?

No. It’s a synthetic, ultra-soft faux fur.

Does the faux fur shed?

A little at first, which is normal for faux fur, and it stops after a few days once the loose fibers are gone. A cold wash on the delicate cycle helps.

Which size should I get?

Measure your dog from the nose to the base of the tail: the bed should be at least that long. The size guide on each bed’s page has Paw.com’s weights for each size.

Can I get just the cover?

Yes, in the same size as your bed. A cover comes without the foam inside.

When will my order ship?

Paw.com gets every in-stock order out within 1 to 2 business days. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships, and you can check anytime on Track Order.

Are the blankets waterproof?

Yes. A waterproof lining inside keeps spills, muddy paws and accidents from soaking through to the sofa, bed or car seat underneath, and the whole blanket goes in the washer.

Which blanket is which?

The PupProtector™ throw is plush, long faux fur. The short fur one has short faux fur on one side and microsuede on the other, made for summer and the patio. The Luxe is the plushest, and PupChill™ is a cooling fabric for dogs who run hot. The bed runners are long and narrow, to go across the foot of the bed.

How does a car bed stay put?

Adjustable straps hold it to the seat, and a strap inside clips to your dog’s collar or harness. Pick the size by the seats it covers: one seat, two, or the whole back seat.

Will the seat cover fit my car?

The back seat cover is 54 by 58 inches, made to fit a standard car or SUV, with straps for the headrests and a rubber non-slip backing.

Will the cargo liner fit my car?

The cargo liner is 52 by 82 inches, made to fit a standard car or SUV, with straps for the headrests and a rubber non-slip backing.

Which dogs fit the PupTote™?

Dogs up to 20 lb. It’s 16 inches long, 7.5 wide and 12 tall, with a leash inside that clips to their harness or collar, and openings at the sides so they can see out.

Will a cover fit my bed?

Each cover fits the PupRug® bed it’s named for: pick the same size as your bed. A cover comes without the foam inside, with a non-slip bottom.

Bowsers

Mississauga, Ontario · Made in Canada

Bowsers was started in 1997 by Bob and Eileen, with Linda on the founding team: dog lovers with a background in interior design, who wanted dog beds that belong in a well-designed room. Their first was the Donut Bed, which Bowsers calls the first true bolster bed, and it’s still its bestseller.

Every bed, mat and cover is cut, sewn and put together in Bowsers’ own workshop near Toronto, in upholstery-grade fabrics from Oeko-Tex certified mills in the United States, more than 100 of them. Bolsters and cushions are filled with high-memory polyester fiber, never foam chips or batting.

Each one is made to order in the fabric you pick, and arrives fully made up, never vacuum-packed.

Shipping

Bowsers ships free on orders of $350 or more in the contiguous US. Below that, shipping is shown at checkout.

Every Bowsers bed of $150 or more ships free on its own, in the contiguous US, whatever else is in your bag.

Bowsers makes every bed, mat and cover to order, in the fabric you pick, so allow 2 to 3 weeks from your order for it to be made and delivered.

Bowsers ships the Moderno & Fresco Crate Mat within 1 to 2 business days.

Bowsers sends US orders by UPS Ground from Buffalo, New York, with no duties or tariffs to pay. Most arrive 1 to 5 days after they ship. We email your tracking link as soon as it’s on its way, and tracking can take a day or two to show.

Everything arrives fully made up, never vacuum-packed, so beds come in big boxes, and an order of more than one thing may come in separate boxes.

The Yugen Pet Lounger needs putting together, and comes with instructions. An order of more than one thing may come in separate boxes.

Bowsers ships to the contiguous US only, not to Alaska or Hawaii. If a Bowsers order comes in for either, we’ll cancel it and refund you in full. There’s no express shipping on Bowsers orders.

Returns

Bowsers makes its beds to order and doesn’t take returns for a change of mind, so neither can we on Bowsers products. Before you order, check the size guide: its measurements and dog weights are Bowsers’ own.

If something arrives with a manufacturing defect, or isn’t what you ordered, Bowsers puts it right. Contact us within 30 days with your order number and photos, and we’ll take care of you.

Please don’t refuse a Bowsers delivery. If something’s wrong with it, accept it and contact us, and we’ll take care of you.

Care

Every cover zips off: machine wash it, then put it in the dryer. Most mats and cushions go in the washer whole, as their tufting or channel stitching keeps the fill in place.

Foam inserts and bolsters don’t go in the washer: hand wash them only.

Warranty

Bowsers inspects everything before it ships. Its warranty covers manufacturing defects and the wrong thing sent. It doesn’t cover chewing, wear and tear or misuse: its fabrics are tough, but no fabric is chew-proof.

If something’s wrong with yours, contact us within 30 days of your order with your order number, a few words on what’s wrong and clear photos, and we’ll take care of you. When it finds a defect, Bowsers refunds or replaces it, or offers something to suit instead.

Who makes these?

Bowsers, which has made dog beds since 1997, when its founders came up with the Donut Bed. Its beds, mats and covers are made to order in its own workshop in Mississauga, Ontario, near Toronto.

Are the fabrics safe for my dog?

Bowsers’ fabrics come from Oeko-Tex certified mills in the United States, which means they’re free of VOCs, formaldehyde, phthalates and flame retardants. They’re upholstery-grade, the same kind used on good furniture.

What’s inside?

Bolsters and pillows are filled with high-memory polyester fiber that keeps its loft. The Donut Bed’s cushion is dense, tufted fiber. Structured beds like the Urban Lounger have furniture-grade foam topped with fiber, and the orthopedic beds and mats, like the Oslo Ortho, have cool gel memory foam. Bowsers never uses foam chips, batting or cedar.

Are they chew-proof?

No, and Bowsers doesn’t claim they are: no fabric stands up to sharp puppy teeth. For a puppy or a chewer, Bowsers suggests a low mat or crate bed until they’re past it.

Which bed is best for an older dog?

Bowsers suggests the Oslo Ortho, the Isotonic Memory Foam Mattress, the Cool Gel Memory Foam Mattress and the Divine Futon for support, and the Scoop and Crescent beds for their low fronts, which are easy to step into.

Why does it take 2 to 3 weeks?

Bowsers makes each bed to order, in the size and fabric you pick. Allow 2 to 3 weeks from your order for it to be made and delivered. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships, and you can check anytime on Track Order.

Can I get a spare cover or part?

Yes: covers, cushions, bolsters and inserts for most Bowsers beds are under Spare covers & parts. Pick your bed’s size, and for a cover or cushion, the fabric it’s in. Not sure which bed you have? Contact us with a photo of it.

Does it need putting together?

No: it arrives fully made up.

Does the Yugen Pet Lounger need putting together?

Yes: it comes with instructions.

Modern Beast

Marina del Rey, California · Made in the USA

Modern Beast was started in Los Angeles by Lona, a television and film writer, and Hope, a graphic and swimwear designer, who met organizing a fundraiser for Best Friends Animal Society. It designs contemporary toys and home goods for pets, and gives 100% of its profits, after the costs of doing business, to 501(c)(3) animal charities.

Its POD is a round, fluffy nest: a core of high-loft fiber, 100% recycled, under a removable, washable cover of soft faux fur.

Shipping

Modern Beast ships free on orders of $59 or more in the contiguous US, so every POD ships free.

Alaska and Hawaii cost more to reach, so free shipping doesn't cover them. After you order, we'll email you the extra shipping. Pay it, or cancel for a full refund.

Modern Beast ships each order within 1 to 2 business days, often the same day, by USPS or UPS. Most arrive 2 to 5 days after they ship. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships.

The POD ships compressed, in a plain box. Give it a few hours out of the box to fluff up.

Modern Beast orders ship to all 50 states and Washington, D.C. There's no express shipping on Modern Beast orders.

Returns

Modern Beast doesn’t refund dog beds for a change of mind, so neither can we on the POD. Before you order, check the size: the 24-inch is for dogs up to about 30 lb, and the 30-inch for dogs up to about 50 lb.

If it arrives damaged or defective, or isn’t what you ordered, Modern Beast puts it right and pays the return shipping. Contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and photos, and we’ll take care of you.

Want a different size or color? Contact us within 30 days of delivery, before it’s used or washed and with its tags on, and we’ll ask Modern Beast about an exchange. Exchanges are up to Modern Beast, and the return shipping is yours to pay. Please don’t send anything back before you hear from us; once Modern Beast says yes, send it within 7 days, with tracking.

The POD Cover isn’t a bed, so it can come back for a refund: within 30 days of delivery, unused and unwashed, with its tags and packaging. The return shipping is yours to pay. Contact us first.

Care

Take the outer cover off and machine wash it cold, on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry it low, or lay it flat to dry.

Fur from the cover can catch in the hook-and-loop closure in the wash: brush it out with a toothbrush and it holds like new.

Warranty

Modern Beast doesn’t publish a warranty. It puts right a POD that arrives damaged or defective, or the wrong one sent, when it hears within 7 days of delivery.

If something’s wrong with yours, contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos, and we’ll take care of you.

Who makes the POD?

Modern Beast, a pet brand from Los Angeles that gives 100% of its profits, after the costs of doing business, to 501(c)(3) animal charities. Each POD has its woven label and hang tag.

What’s inside?

A core of high-loft fiber, 100% recycled (Modern Beast says each pound of it keeps 7 plastic bottles out of landfill), in a zipped inner capsule, under a removable cover of 100% polyester faux fur.

It arrived flat. Is that right?

Yes: the POD ships compressed. Give it a few hours to fluff up. The inner capsule has a zipper, so you can open it and move the filling around to make the nest just right.

Which size?

The 24-inch POD is for dogs up to about 30 lb, and the 30-inch for dogs up to about 50 lb (Modern Beast’s own guide).

Cycle Dog

Portland, Oregon · Made in the USA

Cycle Dog started in Portland, Oregon in 2009 with one idea: turning bicycle inner tubes, which can’t be recycled any other way, into tough dog collars. It still makes everything it sews in its own Portland factory, with recycled materials wherever it can, and hires veterans and people with disabilities.

Its Barrier beds are waterproof all the way through: a soft sleeping surface over a 3-layer waterproof shell, hand stuffed with EcoFill®, recycled polyester made from plastic bottles. They wipe clean, hose off outside and go in the washer.

Shipping

Cycle Dog orders start at $200: its beds, mats and blankets check out once they come to $200 or more together, in any mix. Every Cycle Dog order ships free in the contiguous US.

Alaska and Hawaii cost more to reach, so free shipping doesn't cover them. After you order, we'll email you the extra shipping. Pay it, or cancel for a full refund.

Cycle Dog sews its beds by hand in Portland, Oregon, and ships each order within 5 to 7 business days, by USPS or UPS. Most arrive 2 to 5 days after they ship. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships.

There's no express shipping on Cycle Dog orders.

Returns

Cycle Dog exchanges anything unused for another size or color within 30 days of delivery. Contact us with your order number before you send anything back, and we’ll take care of you. The return shipping is yours to pay.

If it arrives damaged or defective, or isn’t what you ordered, contact us with your order number and photos, and we’ll take care of you.

Care

Easiest by hand: spray it down, scrub it with a little dish or laundry soap, and rinse. Cycle Dog uses the garden hose, or the shower in winter. Hang it to dry, or tumble dry low.

Or machine wash the whole thing cold, on a gentle cycle.

Warranty

Cycle Dog’s We Care Guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship. It doesn’t cover chewing, normal wear and tear, or misuse: no Cycle Dog product is chew-proof.

If your dog chews it anyway, Cycle Dog repairs anything it sews, beds included, free for the bed’s useful life. You pay the shipping to Portland. Contact us and we’ll put you in touch.

Toy care

Duraplush® toys go in the washer and the dryer. Cycle Dog suggests an unscented detergent, since dogs have sensitive noses, and checking first for any large holes, so the filling doesn’t come loose in the wash.

Toy warranty

Cycle Dog’s We Care Guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship. It doesn’t cover chewing, normal wear and tear, or unsupervised play: no toy is chew-proof.

If your dog chews one anyway, Cycle Dog repairs its plush toys free for the toy’s useful life. You pay the shipping to Portland. Contact us and we’ll put you in touch.

Why do Cycle Dog orders start at $200?

Cycle Dog makes and ships each order for us from Portland, and it has a minimum for every order we send it. So its beds, mats and blankets check out once they come to $200 or more together, in any mix: a bed and a blanket, a bed and a crate mat, or a bed for each room. Then the whole order ships free.

Who makes the Barrier beds?

Cycle Dog, in its own factory in Portland, Oregon, where its team sews every bed by hand. It’s made dog gear there since 2009, from recycled materials wherever it can.

How waterproof are they?

A waterproof layer inside the shell keeps moisture, odor and dirt out of the filling, and the fabric has a PFAS-free water-repellent finish, so the top can feel damp after a soaking. The seams aren’t sealed, so a lot of water, or an accident, can get through them (Cycle Dog’s own words).

Which size Layout Bed?

It’s sized for crates: the Small fits a 24-inch crate, up to the X-Large for a 42-inch crate. Cycle Dog makes each one by hand, so sizes can vary a little.

Which size Nestle Bed?

Its sizes give its outside and the sleeping space inside its bolsters. Cycle Dog makes each one by hand, so sizes can vary a little.

Do Cycle Dog’s toys squeak?

No. Cycle Dog makes its Duraplush® toys squeaker-free, for quieter, safer play.

What are they made of?

Duraplush®, a soft but strong two-ply bonded laminate, with Stitchguard™ double-stitched hidden seams and EcoFill® stuffing recycled from plastic bottles. Cycle Dog sews them by hand in Portland, Oregon.

Can I buy one on its own?

Cycle Dog’s toys come with its Barrier™ beds: its orders start at $200, which a toy can’t reach alone. Add one from a bed’s page. For a toy on its own, see our toys.

Care

Chenille and cotton canvas (Repelz-It®): take the cover off and machine wash it warm on the gentle cycle with a little mild detergent, then tumble dry on high. The heat brings the Repelz-It® finish back, and DGS recommends ironing too. Never use bleach, fabric softener or dryer sheets: they ruin the finish. The liners and fill don’t go in the washer: shake them out and air them.

Dirty Dog microfiber: take the cover off and machine wash it on its own in cold water with a normal amount of detergent, no bleach or fabric softener. Spin it twice if you can, and hang it to dry.

Chill Kuzzi Round Bed: take the inner pillow out (its zipper is hidden deep in the pillow area), then machine wash the bed on its own in cold water with a little mild detergent. DGS recommends a large, commercial-size machine. Hang it to dry or tumble dry low, and don’t iron it.

The Chill Kuzzi Nook Bed: spot clean it, or hand wash it cold if it needs it.

Ninja Bed: take the memory foam out and machine wash the cover warm with mild detergent, then tumble dry low. No bleach or fabric softener. Hand wash the foam when it needs it.

Warranty

DGS guarantees its Repelz-It® beds and cushions, in chenille and cotton canvas, to be easier to keep clean than any similar pet product you’ve owned.

If something isn’t right with yours, contact us with your order number and a photo, and we’ll take care of you.

Blanket care

Machine wash cold on the gentle cycle with like colors and a little mild detergent, no bleach or fabric softener. Hang to dry or tumble dry low, and don’t iron it.

DGS says the Chill Kuzzi finish lasts 20 to 30 washes, so wash it only when it needs it.

Washing breaks some of Itchy Witchy’s capsules each time, so wash it only when it needs it.

Blanket warranty

DGS doesn’t publish a warranty for its blankets. If yours arrives damaged or defective, contact us right away with your order number and a photo, and we’ll take care of you.

Travel care

The Chill Kuzzi Pet Pouch: spot clean only.

The Dirty Dog car seat covers: their microfiber seat comes off for the wash. Machine wash it on its own in cold water, no bleach or fabric softener, and hang it to dry. Wipe the rest down with a damp cloth.

The UnBugz-It bandana: machine wash it on its own in cold water with a little mild detergent, no bleach or fabric softener, and tumble dry on medium to high, with no dryer sheets. DGS says its Insect Shield® protection lasts 25 washes.

Travel warranty

DGS doesn’t publish a warranty for its travel gear. If yours arrives damaged or defective, contact us right away with your order number and a photo, and we’ll take care of you.

Who makes these?

DGS Pet Products, in Norwalk, Connecticut, founded in 2006 by Chris Onthank, an animal behaviorist. It started as Dog Gone Smart, so you may see that name too.

What is Repelz-It®?

DGS’s finish on its chenille and cotton canvas fabrics. It makes them water-, oil- and dirt-resistant, so spills bead up and mud brushes off, and it carries an agent that slows the growth of odor-causing bacteria. It’s water-resistant, not waterproof: a soaking gets through. It’s free of PFOA and PFOS, and DGS says it lasts up to 50 washes.

What is Chill Kuzzi?

DGS’s plush fabric with a bio-mineral finish, which DGS says reflects your dog’s own body heat back as far infrared, with no wires or heating elements. DGS makes it for dogs who need help settling. It isn’t a medical treatment: for anything that worries you, ask your vet, and keep an eye on a dog who runs hot. DGS says the finish lasts 20 to 30 washes.

Is the Ninja Bed chew-proof?

DGS calls it chew-resistant: 1680-denier ballistic polyester with reinforced seams and a hidden zipper, over memory foam. No bed is chew-proof, so keep an eye on a determined chewer.

When will my order ship?

DGS ships each order from its warehouse in Cincinnati, Ohio. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships, and you can check anytime on Track Order.

What is Itchy Witchy?

A blanket with essential oils (coconut, lavender, sweet basil and cinnamon) sealed in tiny capsules in its fibers, which open bit by bit as your dog moves and lies on it. DGS makes it for dogs with itchy skin. It isn’t a medical treatment: if your dog is sensitive to essential oils, or licks the blanket a lot, ask your vet first. Wash it only when it needs it, since washing breaks some of the capsules.

Will the 3-in-1 seat cover fit my car?

It covers a back bench: its seat is 50.5 by 18.5 inches, with a 21.5-inch back. It has a hammock that keeps your dog off the front seats, straps for the headrests, seat anchors and a non-slip bottom.

Will the single seat cover fit my car?

It covers one back seat: 20 by 18 inches, with a 20.5-inch back. It has a hammock that keeps your dog off the front seats, straps for the headrests, seat anchors and a non-slip bottom.

Is the UnBugz-It bandana safe?

It’s treated with Insect Shield®: permethrin bonded into the fibers, EPA-registered (Reg. No. 74843-5), with no smell. Insect Shield makes its pet gear for dogs older than 6 weeks. It’s for dogs only: cats are far more sensitive to permethrin, so keep it away from them, and ask your vet first if a cat shares your home or your dog has a medical condition.

Which bandana size?

Measure around your dog’s neck. Small fits 7 to 10 inches, Medium 13.5 to 15, Large 18 to 21.5, and X-Large 20 to 26.5, with an adjustable clasp.

Cuddl

California · Handmade in California

Cuddl sews its dog beds by hand in California, in upholstery-grade fabrics like the ones on your own furniture: French toiles, ginghams and buffalo check, made to go with the room as much as the dog.

Each bed is made to order, with a cover that unzips for the wash and Cuddl’s Sustainafill™ insert inside. It sews bandanas and fabric bone toys too.

Shipping

Every Cuddl dog bed of $150 or more ships free in the contiguous US. Everything else from Cuddl ships at what it costs to send, shown in your bag before you check out.

There's no express shipping on Cuddl orders.

Toy care

Cuddl doesn’t publish care for its toys. Check it now and then, and take it away once the fabric tears, so the squeaker and filling stay inside.

Toy warranty

Cuddl doesn’t publish a warranty for its toys: no toy is chew-proof, so keep an eye on a determined chewer. If yours arrives damaged or defective, contact us right away with your order number and a photo.

Who makes these?

Cuddl, which sews its beds, bandanas and toys by hand in California, each made to order.

What is Sustainafill™?

Cuddl’s own insert, inside every Cuddl bed. It comes out of the cover, and it’s washable too.

Which size round bed?

Measure your dog from nose to tail, and across the shoulders at the widest point: the bed should be at least that wide. Cuddl suggests adding 10 to 12 inches to give your dog room to spread out. Its sizes are 25, 36, 44 and 50 inches across. By weight, Cuddl’s guide is Small for 10 to 24 lb, Medium 24 to 40, Large 41 to 70 and X-Large 71 to 90.

Which size?

Go by your dog’s weight, with Cuddl’s own guide: Small for 10 to 24 lb, Medium 24 to 40, Large 41 to 70 and X-Large 71 to 90. The sprawler also comes in XX-Large, for 91 to 110 lb. Between two sizes, or for a dog who sleeps stretched out, pick the bigger one.

Why does it take 4 to 6 weeks?

Cuddl doesn’t keep beds on a shelf: it cuts and sews each one by hand in California once it’s ordered, then ships it. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships.

Can I return it?

Cuddl makes every order to order, so it doesn’t take returns or exchanges, and cancellations only within 24 hours of ordering. If it arrives damaged or defective, or isn’t what you ordered, contact us right away with photos.

Which bandana size?

Measure around your dog’s neck with a soft tape, and add two fingers. Small fits necks up to 13 inches, Medium up to 18, Large up to 26 and X-Large up to 34. Unsure? Size up: the ties adjust.

Does it squeak?

Yes: Cuddl sews a squeaker inside each bone.

Fatboy

’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands

Fatboy began with one beanbag, the Original, designed by the Finnish interior architect Jukka Setälä, who named it after Fatboy Slim, the music he had on while he drew it. Alex Bergman, a Dutch entrepreneur, took it on in 2003, and Fatboy has grown into a Dutch design brand of furniture, lighting and outdoor pieces.

Its Doggielounge is a beanbag for dogs: a bead-filled cushion that settles round your dog as it lies down, with Fatboy’s bone on the side. The Outdoor one is in olefin, which shrugs off water, dirt, stains and mildew, indoors or out.

Shipping

Fatboy orders of $150 or more ship free in the contiguous US. Below that, shipping is shown at checkout.

Alaska and Hawaii cost more to reach, so free shipping doesn't cover them. After you order, we'll email you the extra shipping. Pay it, or cancel for a full refund.

Fatboy USA ships each order from Dallas, Texas, within 1 to 3 business days. Most arrive 2 to 5 business days after they ship. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships.

There's no express shipping on Fatboy orders.

Returns

Fatboy takes back anything new, unused and undamaged, in its original packaging, within 7 days of delivery. Contact us with your order number before you send anything back, and we’ll take care of you.

Return shipping is yours to pay, and the original shipping isn’t refunded. Fatboy takes a $19.95 restocking fee from the refund ($49.95 an item on a return of $500 or more). Refunds go out once Fatboy has the return and has checked it.

If it arrives damaged or defective, or isn’t what you ordered, contact us right away with your order number and photos, and we’ll take care of you.

Care

Pat everyday dirt off with a damp cloth. The cover is washable, and olefin can be cleaned with water or even bleach, Fatboy says.

Outdoors, bring it under a roof, onto a dry floor, in heavy rain and out of season.

Warranty

Fatboy covers manufacturing defects for 2 years from the day you bought it, with a replacement part, a new one or a refund. Its warranty doesn’t cover wear and tear, fading, the beads settling over time, or damage from water, mold, mildew or sun: its fabrics are water-resistant, not waterproof.

If something’s wrong with yours, contact us with your order number and photos, and we’ll take care of you.

Who makes these?

Fatboy, the Dutch design brand behind the Original beanbag, from ’s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. Its US company, Fatboy USA, in Coppell, Texas, ships our orders from Dallas.

What’s inside?

Beads, as in a beanbag: they settle round your dog as it lies down. With a lot of use they settle over time, and the bed can be topped up: the Small holds 100 liters of beads, the Large 200.

Can it stay outside?

Yes: its olefin cover is water-repellent and UV-resistant, and resists stains and mildew. It isn’t waterproof, though, so Fatboy suggests bringing it under a roof, onto a dry floor, in heavy rain and out of season.

Which size?

The Small is 31 by 23½ inches, for dogs up to about 40 lb, and the Large 47 by 29½ inches, for 40 to 90 lb. Fatboy gives no dog weights, so ours come from beds we sell of the same size. Between the two, or for a dog who sleeps stretched out, pick the Large.

Can I return it?

Within 7 days of delivery, new, unused and in its original packaging. Return shipping is yours, and Fatboy takes a $19.95 restocking fee. Contact us first, and we’ll take care of you.

4Legs4Pets

Van Buren, Arkansas · Made in the USA

4Legs4Pets is the cot bed line of Mahar Manufacturing, a family business in Van Buren, Arkansas, since 1988. In its own factory there it sews and laces the covers, powder-coats the steel bars and molds the legs, all from American materials, and its legs and frames have kept the same design since 1995.

Its cot beds hold a dog 5 inches off the floor on taut open-weave mesh, which lets the air through and hoses clean, indoors or out. They go together without tools, stack when they’re not in use, and every part comes on its own, so a worn cover or a bent bar is replaced, not the whole cot.

Shipping

4Legs4Pets orders don’t ship free: each item ships at what it costs to send by FedEx Ground, priced to reach anywhere in the lower 48, and shown in your bag before you check out. Small parts bought together go in one box.

Alaska and Hawaii cost more to reach. After you order, we'll email you the extra shipping. Pay it, or cancel for a full refund.

4Legs4Pets makes each order in its factory in Van Buren, Arkansas, and ships it within 3 to 5 business days by FedEx Ground, a cot flat in its box. Most arrive 1 to 5 days after they ship. We email your tracking link as soon as it ships.

There's no express shipping on 4Legs4Pets orders.

Returns

4Legs4Pets takes back anything unused, in its original carton, within 30 days of purchase. Contact us with your order number before you send anything back, and we’ll take care of you. The return shipping is yours to pay.

If a box arrives damaged, you can refuse it at the door. If you took it, or a part is missing, contact us within 2 business days of delivery with photos of the box, its label and the damage, and keep the box and everything in it, since the carrier may collect them. We’ll take care of you.

Care

No need to take the cover off: wipe it down, or hose it off outside or in the shower, then lay the cot flat to air-dry. Don’t soak it, and don’t lean it or hang it up to dry.

To disinfect it, 4Legs4Pets suggests 4 ounces of chlorine bleach in a gallon of water, wiped on with a soft cloth, then rinsed off with water.

The cover is laced on, so you can pull it taut again now and then.

Tap each plug in with a rubber mallet, over a cloth, until it snaps into place: by hand alone they work loose. Keep an eye on your dog with the plugs in, so they can’t pull one out, and check now and then that they’re still tight.

The legs and bars wipe clean with a damp cloth. A quick spray of dry silicone on the ends of the bars makes the cot easier to put together.

Putting a cot together

  1. Lay the cover upside down on a table or the floor.
  2. Slide a long bar through each long sewn sleeve, and a short bar through one short sleeve. On a square cot, all four bars are the same.
  3. Push the square ends of that short bar into two legs, then the ends of the long bars into the same two legs.
  4. Pull the cover toward the open end, to take up the slack.
  5. Push the last short bar into the last two legs and lay it on the cover’s flap. Then push those two legs onto the long bars, just a quarter inch.
  6. Stand the cot on that end, flap down, hold both sides and push down, so the bars go all the way into the legs.
  7. Lay it flat, fold the flap over the short bar and lace the cord from eyelet to eyelet, flap to strip and back, pulling it tight as you go. Tie it off.

Warranty

4Legs4Pets warrants its products to be free of defects in materials and workmanship when they’re delivered. Its warranty doesn’t cover normal wear and tear, like rips, tears, fraying, fading or a bent bar, or damage from an accident or misuse.

Every part comes on its own, so a worn cover or a bent bar can be replaced: see its parts.

If something isn’t right with yours, contact us with your order number and photos, and we’ll take care of you.

Who makes these?

4Legs4Pets, the cot bed line of Mahar Manufacturing, a family business in Van Buren, Arkansas, since 1988. It makes every part in its own factory there, from American materials, and ships each order from it.

Which size?

Measure where your dog likes to lie, or tape off the spot on the floor, and pick the size closest to it. A square suits a dog who curls up, and a rectangle one who stretches out. A heavier dog is better on a rectangle, which spreads its weight. 4Legs4Pets gives no dog weights, so ours come from beds we sell of the same size: up to 25 lb on the 22 × 22, up to 110 lb on the 52 × 30, which it says fits most German Shepherds. Each frame holds more than that: 150 lb for the 22 × 22, 130 lb for the 30 × 22, 40 × 22 and 52 × 30, 120 lb for the 40 × 30, and 100 lb for the 30 × 30 and 40 × 40.

What color are the legs and frame?

Each color comes with legs and a frame chosen to go with it: Black with black, Dark Gray with gray stone legs and a graphite frame, Elephant Gray with silver, Gray with gray marble legs and a gray frame, River Rock with black, Taupe with taupe, Bambi Beige with taupe, Cork with tan, Tree Bark with brown, Gator Green with sage, Hunter Green with hunter green, Cobalt Blue with blue, and Hibiscus Pink with pink. The photo of each color shows the 22 × 22: the others look the same, just bigger.

Does it come put together?

No: it ships flat, and goes together without tools, from four legs, four bars and the cover, laced tight. Here’s how:

  1. Lay the cover upside down on a table or the floor.
  2. Slide a long bar through each long sewn sleeve, and a short bar through one short sleeve. On a square cot, all four bars are the same.
  3. Push the square ends of that short bar into two legs, then the ends of the long bars into the same two legs.
  4. Pull the cover toward the open end, to take up the slack.
  5. Push the last short bar into the last two legs and lay it on the cover’s flap. Then push those two legs onto the long bars, just a quarter inch.
  6. Stand the cot on that end, flap down, hold both sides and push down, so the bars go all the way into the legs.
  7. Lay it flat, fold the flap over the short bar and lace the cord from eyelet to eyelet, flap to strip and back, pulling it tight as you go. Tie it off.

Are leg grippers and plugs included?

No: they come separately, in sets of 4. Grippers go under the legs and keep the cot from sliding on wood or tile, and the cots still stack with them on. Plugs close the hole at the top of each leg, in the legs’ color. Without them, the cots nest into each other when stacked, taking less room.

Can it stay outside?

Yes: it’s made for indoors or out. 4Legs4Pets says its mesh has 1,200 hours of UV protection before it starts to fade, and resists mold, mildew and moisture. Hose it off when it needs it.

Is it chew-proof?

No bed is. The mesh is tough, but a determined chewer can get through it, and the warranty doesn’t cover rips or tears. A spare cover comes on its own, in the cot’s fabrics.

What’s the dolly kit?

Four cot legs with 3-inch locking casters already in them, in place of the cot’s own legs, so it rolls from room to room and then stays put. 4Legs4Pets makes it in each leg color.

Which bar do I need?

Pick the side of the cot it’s for: a 22-inch side takes an 18-inch bar, a 30-inch side a 26-inch bar, a 40-inch side 36½ inches and a 52-inch side 48½. A rectangle cot has two bars for each of its sides, and a square one four the same.

Why doesn’t it ship free?

A cot ships flat in a long box from Arkansas, which costs more to send than its price could cover. So 4Legs4Pets items ship at what they cost to send, shown in your bag before you check out.

Can I return it?

Within 30 days, unused and in its original carton. The return shipping is yours. Contact us first, and we’ll take care of you.
