Sizing Instructions 📏

The most accurate way of choosing the perfect size bed for your dog is to take a quick measurement. Use a tape measure and write down your dog's height from paw to shoulder.

This is your dog's maximum size at a full stretch. Most dogs don't sleep in a full stretch position, but you want a bed that is big enough at maximum size. Make sure you choose a bed that is at least as long as the head-to-butt measurement and at least as wide as the paw-to-shoulder distance.

🐶 Breed Recommendations 

Take measurements for 100% accuracy, but in most cases, the following guidelines should help you pick the right size bed. 

Mini: For dogs shorter than 18" tall
Perfect for breeds like Beagles, Chihuahuas, Miniature Pinschers, Shih Tsus, and Pugs.

Small:  For dogs shorter than 21" tall
Perfect for breeds like Basenjis, Cocker Spaniels, Whippets, Airdale Terriers, and Shetland Sheepdogs.

MediumFor dogs shorter than 23" tall
Perfect for medium dogs under 60 pounds, including Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, smaller Labradors, Pitbulls.


Please note that the heights listed are to the dog's withers, not the top of their head.

Better Sleep

Dogs get deeper, more restful sleep on a Barker Bed

why better sleep is important

Recover & Heal

When dogs get quality sleep, their bodies have a better opportunity to recover and heal from daily activities. During deep sleep, their muscles and tissues can repair themselves, immune function strengthens, and the production of growth hormones increases—all essential for optimal health and vitality. Good sleep also supports their mental well-being, helping them manage stress and maintain better mood and behavior. Just like in humans, adequate rest allows dogs to recharge physically and mentally, promoting a happier, healthier life.

why better sleep is important

Cognitive Function

In addition to physical recovery, quality sleep is essential for a dog’s cognitive function and learning. Dogs process memories and consolidate new information while they sleep, which is especially important for puppies and dogs in training. When well-rested, dogs are more alert, responsive, and capable of retaining commands and routines, making training sessions more effective. Sleep also helps regulate emotions, reducing stress and anxiety, which means that a well-rested dog is often calmer, more social, and less prone to behavioral issues. Overall, good sleep improves a dog's adaptability and resilience, enhancing their overall quality of life.

Healthy Metabolism

Quality sleep is also essential for maintaining a dog’s healthy metabolism and weight. When dogs are well-rested, their bodies regulate hunger hormones more effectively, helping them maintain a balanced appetite and reducing the likelihood of overeating. Poor sleep, on the other hand, can lead to hormonal imbalances that increase cravings and disrupt normal energy levels, making dogs more prone to weight gain and related health issues. Additionally, restful sleep supports a stable metabolism, ensuring that energy is efficiently used for play, exercise, and overall bodily functions. By promoting good sleep, we help dogs stay in peak physical shape and reduce the risk of obesity and its associated health risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

To choose the right Barker Bed size and style, consider your dog’s weight, sleeping habits, and available space. For large breeds, select the larger sizes to ensure full body support. Measure your dog when stretched out to confirm the bed will fit comfortably. Styles like the Headrest Edition offer a built-in pillow for dogs that enjoy head support, while the Sleek Edition is ideal for those who like a flatter surface. Matching the bed’s dimensions to your space and your dog’s preferences will ensure maximum comfort and durability.
To wash your Barker Bed cover, remove it and machine wash with cold water on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals. Air dry only. Do not iron or dry clean. Regular washing will help keep your cover fresh and comfortable for your dog.
