Dog beds, crate mats, crates, playpens, kennels and dog doors all sit in this collection — 73 items covering where a dog sleeps at night and where it goes when the house gets busy. The range runs from a plush donut bed for a small indoor dog to a steel framed elevated bed for a dog living outside.

Picking a bed shape

Shape follows sleeping style more than it follows size. Dogs that curl want walls around them, which is the donut, bolster, hideout and sofa group — the FurKidz Donut Bed, the Superior Pet Goods High Side Hideout and Ferplast's Etoile and Charles fabric beds. Dogs that sprawl want a flat surface with nothing to climb over, so loungers, cushions and mats suit them better. Older and heavier dogs are usually steadier on orthopaedic foam: the Ferplast Memor-One and the Superior Pet Goods Orthopaedic Memory Rest use a memory foam core rather than fibre fill. Elevated beds hold the dog off the ground on stretched fabric in a steel frame, which suits verandahs and laundries because they can be hosed down. To size any of them, measure your dog nose to tail base while it lies stretched out, add a hand's width, then check that against the listed dimensions — the large FurKidz Oval bed is 75 x 60 x 25cm.

Crates, pens, kennels and doors

A crate is a den rather than a cage, and the sizing rule is that the dog can stand up, turn around and lie out flat inside it with no extra room beyond that, or toilet training gets harder. MidWest Homes for Pets covers double door wire crates up to XX-Large plus a fitted cover, while Ferplast makes folding crates that pack down for the car. Exercise pens fence off an area without a roof, and MidWest offers them with and without a door. For dogs living outdoors, the Ferplast DOGVILLA is a moulded thermoplastic resin kennel and the PaWise two-way dog door lets a dog come and go on its own. Temperature is worth planning for too: K&H makes a self-warming crate pad and the Cool Bed III, and the Ibiyaya Chill Pad is a cooling mat.
