What size cave bed should I get for my dog?

We offer sizes from Small to Extra-Large to suit different breeds and sleeping styles. Check our size guide for breed suggestions, or measure your dog while they’re sleeping for the best fit. Need help? Just get in touch — we’re happy to advise.

Does the hood stay up or collapse?

The hood includes a removable arch rod that keeps it raised for a den-like feel. If your dog prefers a more open nest, you can remove the rod so the hood acts like a cosy blanket instead.

Can I remove the hood completely?

Yes, the hood is fully removable. Simply unzip it during warmer months or when your dog prefers an open bed, then zip it back on when they want a cosy hideaway.

Are the covers machine washable?

Yes — the outer cover is machine washable at 30°C. For best results, use a gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid tumble drying, ironing or fabric softener to protect the fabric and padding.

Is the bed suitable for anxious or nervous dogs?

Many customers find this bed helps their dogs feel calm and secure. The soft hood creates a safe, enclosed space that mimics a natural den — ideal for dogs that like to burrow, snuggle, or retreat when stressed.

Is this bed chew-proof?

The bed is made from durable, upholstery-grade fabric, but it’s not indestructible. If your dog tends to chew or nibble, especially zips, we recommend supervising or choosing a simpler design without a hood.

What’s the difference between the Cave Bed and Cocoon Bed?

The Cave Bed has a soft cushion base and a smaller hood opening for a snug fit, ideal for full burrowers. The Cocoon Bed has a sturdier foam base, higher bolster sides, and a more open hood, which is better for dogs that like head support or a spacious den.

Where are your beds made?

All Collared Creatures beds are handmade in the UK using high-quality materials and thoughtful design details. They’re created by dog lovers who understand what makes a bed truly comfortable and long-lasting.
