A donut dog bed looks soft and inviting, but its shape alone tells you little about how practical it will be day to day. The wrong size, hard-to-clean cover or a bed that slides across the floor can quickly become a source of frustration. So if you’re buying a round dog bed online in the Netherlands, it’s worth looking beyond the colour and the photo of a sleeping dog.
A 70 cm dog bed has an overall diameter of around 70 cm. The raised rim takes up some of that space, so a dog that likes to stretch out may need more room than the product title suggests.
Measure your dog while they’re lying comfortably, then allow some extra space. Consider your dog’s shape, too. A small dog that likes to curl up may be perfectly happy in a compact bed, while a medium-sized dog with long legs may be more comfortable in an 80 or 90 cm dog bed.
Some models have a removable central cushion only. Others have a removable outer cover. This makes a difference if your dog brings in lots of hair, sand or moisture.
Before you buy, check:
A dog bed with a removable cushion is practical, but always follow the care label. Don’t use bleach or harsh cleaning products unless the instructions say it’s safe to do so.
A non-slip dog bed with rubber dots can help limit movement, but it won’t stop the bed from shifting in every situation. On a smooth tiled floor, where you place it matters, too. Put the bed on a flat, dry surface and check that the anti-slip base is in full contact with the floor.
Stability is especially important for an older or energetic dog getting in and out of bed. Check the bed regularly for loose seams, damaged fabric and exposed filling.
Use these sizes as a practical guide, rather than a fixed guide to breed:
The stated size is usually the outer measurement, so check the height of the rim and the shape of the inner cushion, too.
A fluffy or plush dog bed generally feels soft, but long plush fibres can hold on to more dirt. Shorter plush fabric can sometimes be easier to spot-clean. The product information for the models below lists PP cotton filling. According to the product descriptions, this filling offers soft, springy support, although the firmness can vary between models and with use.
A high rim can be comfortable for dogs that like to rest their head on a raised support. The donut design wraps around the body, so it may suit dogs that like to sleep curled up. It’s better to describe this as a reassuring design than to claim that it has a proven calming effect: the brands’ own product information describes a sense of security, but this isn’t a medical or behavioural guarantee.
Many donut dog beds are vacuum-packed. Once unpacked, you’ll need to shake and fluff up the bed. Some product information also recommends leaving it to expand for 24 to 48 hours.

How long a dog bed lasts depends on how it’s used, how it’s washed and your dog’s behaviour. A dog that likes to dig or chew puts more strain on the seams and zips than one that settles down calmly. Check the bed weekly for:
Let a wet bed dry completely before using it again. Don’t place a plush dog bed against a radiator or other heat source. If your dog chews, supervision is sensible, especially when they’re getting used to the bed.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
No. This style is best suited to dogs that like to sleep curled up or against a raised rim. Measure your dog while they’re lying down and compare that measurement with the inner space, not just the outer diameter.
First, remove the central cushion or cover as instructed. Use a gentle wash programme if the care label allows it, and don’t use bleach. Let all the parts dry thoroughly before putting the bed back together.
A 70 cm dog bed is often a practical choice for small to medium-sized dogs. An 80 or 90 cm bed gives medium-sized dogs more room. A 100 or 120 cm bed is a more suitable choice for large dogs, if you have enough floor space. Always check the recommended type of pet and maximum size in the product information.
