Barker Junior
Meet a very special bed, exclusively engineered for dogs under 50 lbs. ✨
Stylishly handcrafted with the same foam technology as our best-selling large beds... the Barker Junior is specially calibrated for small & medium-sized dogs.
The Barker Junior was born because many of our customers with big dogs asked if we would craft a super comfy bed for their smaller dogs too! (After all, lots of smaller dogs also have painful joint issues, and now there’s a uniquely supportive solution for that big problem!)
It comes with the same perks as our bigger beds...
-
10-Year Guarantee: The foam will retain 90% of original shape and loft for an entire decade, or your money back.
-
American Foam: The highest quality foam you’ll ever find in a dog bed. Won’t flatten or pancake over time.
-
Superior Support: Orthopedic foam comforts joints & keeps your dog’s pressure points from ever touching a hard floor.
-
Handcrafted in the USA: The craftsmen in our small Pennsylvania workshop have over 100 combined years of furniture-making experience.
-
Easy to clean & machine washable!
Care Instructions: Machine washable. Wash on cold. Tumble dry low with no heat.
The most accurate way of choosing the perfect size bed for your dog is to take a quick measurement. Using any old tape measure, 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:
Small: For dogs shorter than 15" tall - Ex: Dachshund, Italian Greyhound, Jack Russell Terrier, Pug, Beagle, French Bulldog, etc.
Medium: For dogs shorter than 18" tall - Ex: Boston Terrier, Brittany, Cocker Spaniel.
Large: For dogs shorter than 21" tall - Ex: English Bulldog, smaller Pit Bulls, smaller Border Collies, etc.

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.

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.
