Cave Beds for Dogs: The Secret to Better Sleep and Calmer Behaviour

Does your dog love to burrow under blankets, curl up in tight spaces or hide behind furniture? That’s not fussiness — it’s instinct. Many dogs, especially breeds like Whippets, Dachshunds and Terriers, feel safest in an enclosed space that mimics a natural den.

Providing a secure, hooded bed can help reduce stress, promote deeper sleep and ease anxiety. It’s especially helpful for dogs who are nervous, recently rescued or prone to pacing when left alone.

The RSPCA offers helpful advice on separation-related behaviours in dogs.

That’s where our Dog Cave Beds make a difference. Designed to create the feeling of a soft, protective den, they give your dog a calming place to rest, recharge and feel safe.

Whether it’s for comfort, routine, or emotional support, your dog gets a place of their own — and you get the peace of mind that comes with it. Our customers often tell us their dogs settle more quickly, sleep longer and seem happier once they have a space like this.

Because when your dog sleeps better, you do too.

Finding the Right Dog Cave Bed: Tips for Happy, Snuggly Sleep

Every dog is different and the right bed should match their size, personality and natural sleeping style.

Does your pup curl up tightly, burrow under blankets or nest into soft corners? Or do they sprawl out but still seek warmth and comfort? Choosing the right Dog Cave Bed starts with how your dog loves to rest.

Our Cave Beds come in sizes from Small to Extra-Large, offering a cosy fit for snugglers and sprawlers alike. The smart hooded design features a removable arch rod, so you can keep the hood raised for a snug, enclosed feel or let it fall into a soft blanket if your dog prefers a more open nest.

The result? Your dog feels more settled, sleeps more soundly, and is more likely to use their bed every single day. No more wasted purchases. Just a happy dog who finally feels at home in their bed.

Not sure which size to choose? Check our Size Guide or contact us — we’ll help you find the perfect bed for your burrower.

How to Keep Your Dog’s Bed Looking and Smelling Fresh

A clean bed means a happy dog and a fresher home. That’s why every Collared Creatures Dog Cave Bed includes a removable, machine-washable outer cover that makes cleaning quick and easy.

For extra protection, you can add an optional waterproof liner to help guard against muddy paws, spills or little accidents. Between washes, give the bed a quick shake to remove loose hair and debris, use a lint roller or vacuum to tidy the surface, and let it air out now and then to keep things fresh.

Regular care helps keep the bed soft, supportive and comfortable. It stays looking great and feeling cosy, no matter how often your dog snuggles in.

That means less work for you, more comfort for them, and a bed you’ll both be happy to have in the heart of your home.

Calming Cave Beds - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dog cave bed?

A dog cave bed is a hooded, enclosed sleeping space designed for dogs who love to burrow, snuggle, and feel secure. The cave-like structure mimics a natural den, making it ideal for anxious, cold-prone, or nesting breeds.

Do all dogs like cave beds?

Not every dog enjoys a cave bed, but they’re a favourite for breeds that like to burrow, nest, or hide under blankets. Terriers, Dachshunds, Whippets, and anxious or cold-prone dogs often find the enclosed design especially comforting.

Why do some dogs prefer enclosed beds?

Some dogs prefer enclosed beds because these spaces help them feel secure, warm, and protected, much like a natural den. This instinct comes from their wild ancestors, who would nest in sheltered areas for safety and comfort.

Can the hood on the Dog Cave Bed stay upright?

Yes, the Dog Cave Bed includes a removable arch rod that helps the hood stay upright. If your dog prefers a softer, open space, you can easily remove the rod so the hood collapses into a cosy blanket-style cover.

Will a nervous dog use a cave bed?

Nervous dogs often feel more secure in cave beds due to the enclosed design. The shape mimics a den, helping them relax and settle more easily. If your dog is hesitant, try removing the rod or lowering the hood until they adjust.

Are cave beds suitable for large dogs?

Yes. Collared Creatures Cave Beds come in sizes up to Extra-Large and are designed to fit larger breeds like Vizslas, Whippets, and medium to large mixed breeds. The sturdy arch and wide hood create enough space for big dogs to burrow and stretch comfortably.

Are your dog cave beds waterproof?

The beds themselves are not fully waterproof, but optional waterproof liners are available to protect the inner cushion from accidents or spills. These liners are ideal for puppies, senior dogs, or pets in training.

Will a cave bed help my dog’s anxiety?

Yes, the enclosed, den-like design can help soothe anxious dogs by giving them a secure retreat, especially during stressful times like fireworks or thunderstorms.

Are cave beds easy to clean?

Yes. Collared Creatures Cave Beds come with removable covers that are machine washable at 30°C. Simply unzip, wash and air dry to keep your dog’s bed fresh and clean with minimal effort.

Can cave beds be used without the hood?

Yes. The hood is removable, so you can use the base on its own during warmer months. This makes the bed more breathable in summer while still offering comfort and support year-round.
