Sizing a Dog Bed
Bed Types by Need

Escolhendo o Tamanho

Meça seu cachorro deitado na posição natural. Cachorros que dormem esticados: comprimento (focinho à cauda) + 15-20 cm. Cachorros que se enrolam: cama redonda/donut. P (45×55 cm). M (55×75 cm). G (75×100 cm). GG (100×120 cm).

Tipos

Almofadão: mais versátil. Com bordas (bolster): aconchegante, serve de travesseiro. Ortopédica (viscoelástica): essencial para cachorros 7+ anos. Elevada (tipo cama elástica): mantém fresco no calor — excelente para o clima brasileiro.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The most common dog bed mistake: buying too small. Dogs grow into beds, and a slightly oversized bed is always better than one they outgrow. For puppies, buy the adult size now — they will grow into it within months and you avoid buying multiple beds.
