 Making Your Final Decision – Let Your Dog Decide
Learn your dog’s sleeping habits. Does he/she stretch out? Curl up in a ball? This will help decide on the style your dog will want. If you have a teeny-tiny Chihuahua you may want a small cuddle style bed to help them feel warm and secure. The same goes if you have a Greyhound except you will want your cuddle bed in an xlarge.
Does your dog have special needs? Your beloved old pal may be aging and suffers from arthritis. Consider selecting high-density memory foam with a low profile to make stepping on their bed easier for them, yet their joints will still be protected. Look for the orthopedic quality for their bed and avoid high lofty beds for the aging pets, If they leak urine or drool excessively you will want a water resistant or waterproof bed or cover. 
To select the size, measure the full length of your dog’s body and add a few inches to make sure your dog has plenty of length in the new bed. The width should be in correct proportion.
In a Nutshell: Know your dog. For example: my dog likes my couch a little too much so I selected a bed for her designed with a high bolster around three sides. It is deep and well cushioned so her joints are protected. She loves it so she stays off my couch. It is large enough for her to stretch out in but she can also curl up and snuggle in it so it meets all of her needs and mine.
