Plush Dog Bed Buying Guide: Charcoal vs Cream Sizes

Quick answer

For most dogs, choose the charcoal plush bed if you want a darker color that hides dirt, or the cream bed if you prefer a lighter, airy look—but prioritize size: measure your dog from nose to tail and add 6-8 inches for the right fit.

Decision rules for choosing your plush bed

• If your dog curls up or burrows: Choose a size that allows them to curl into a ball with the raised sides supporting their back. The deep pile is calming for nervous dogs. Measure your dog's curled length to confirm the size.
• If your dog stretches out: Pick a larger size (M or L) to ensure they have enough floor space. The square corners provide room to sprawl. Measure from nose to tail in a stretched position.
• If you prioritize low maintenance: Choose the charcoal bed to hide dirt and fur. Cream looks elegant but needs more frequent washing. Consider your dog's shedding level and your cleaning routine.
