The size of your dog will dictate what sort of dog bed you should get. Dogs like to feel safe and secure when sleeping and they therefore tend to favor beds that envelope or cuddle them. Bed with sidewalls or are curved tend to be popular. The weight of your dog is also important, as larger dogs need sturdier beds that will not break under their weight.
Puppies and older dogs will need a different type of bed. Puppies generally do not have difficulties getting in or out of a bed though you do not want to buy a bed with sides that are very high as your puppy may not be able to climb into the bed. Older dogs with arthritis or stiff joints will need a bed that is easier to enter and exit. There are also orthopedic beds that are heated and sooth your dogs' aches and pains.
