Dog Bed Caves | Hooded Canine Mattress
If you are the lucky puppy parent of a small breed dog, you already know how they love a good tuck-in under some warm, soft blankets. It is important, especially for toy breeds, to be able to stay warm as they don’t have enough mass to maintain their own body temperatures at the slightest hint of a chill.
Often times such canines have a strong urge to burrow. Sometimes this is as much about feeling safer and more secure with something over their head…it’s an instinct thing.

Review
Unfortunately, despite trying very hard, we were not able to find a good cave bed for large and extra-large canines. Definitely a market gap that needs to be filled!
If your pup is bigger than 20 Pounds and loves the feeling of security of a covered cave, we recommend that you check out the DEWEL line of Dog Teepees to make an existing doggie mattress into a cave suitable for larger dogs.
If you happen to have a smaller dog, then we tried to find a selection that covered the full range of the different styles of bed caves available so that you can find something that fits your needs. No matter which style you choose, your little pooch will have a new favorite spot at home and on the road.
