15 Excellent Budget-Friendly Dog Beds
Below you’ll find our picks for the best low-cost options that give the best bang for your dog bed bucks.
Bark Box‘s dog bed combines a memory and gel foam interior with a plushy machine-washable exterior so it’s super comfy on joints. It comes in several size and color options and includes a waterproof liner. Bonus—this bed comes with a squeaker toy.
Verified Review: “We tested this bed at our Rover office and found that our canine coworkers quickly gravitate to it as a napping spot, including a senior beagle and a chew-prone terrier mix, Vera.
The gray color is quite plain and the bed looks a bit thin coming out of the box, but it’s surprisingly sturdy and soft for the price. It didn’t seem that it would stand up to heavy chewers, but so far, it’s done well with Vera, who’s known to nibble up beds. We can easily imagine washing it, too, as it would fit handily into an average washing machine, unlike some of the other washable beds we’ve tried. Not only that, but the bed comes with a cute small toy—which Vera promptly slobbered all over.”
Supportive and ideally-shaped for dogs who like to sleep snuggled in; the soft shag material of this affordable dog bed also retains heat and can even remind some dogs of snuggling up with a littermate. Best of all, this bed is entirely machine-washable and dryer-safe.
If you have an older or injured dog, an orthopedic support bed can help ease their aches and pains while they sleep.
