Tips for Choosing the Right Size
When in doubt, size up. A bed that is slightly too large is always better than one that is too small.
Consider sleeping style. Pets that curl up can use a smaller bed, while pets that stretch out need more room.
Account for growth. If you have a puppy or kitten, choose a size based on their expected adult weight.
