I bought this bed for my Boston Terrier and a similar one (different brand) for my chihuahua mix. My Boston really loves this bed! The problem ismy chihuahua also loves it and now he keeps trying to sleep in THIS bed instead of his own. So now I guess I’m going to have to order a 2nd Best Friend bed.
We are 5 days into 9wk old puppies and I cannot praise this bed & design enough. Instant calming for sleep. They also take a play break and just go lay in it and relax. Round design with high bolster and burrow & snuggle feature are brilliant. Just ordered a second one as the size of these paws tell me in short order one will not be enough! Highly recommend.
Thanks for a great bed!
I have the small size – you can see 2 10lb dogs do fit in one, but I have one for each. In the first pic the bed is 3 years old so less fluffy and happy to replace after that long! The 2nd pic is new ones that are fluffy as expected.
They are a little big for the wash machine and with the ruffles can be hard to clean but that has t really been an issue.
I nearly got this out of the packing box before this little guy tried it out & loved it! Great purchase!
Our dog lives his new comfy bed! It’s super soft and fluffed up with just 5 minutes on low in the dryer. Makes me want it in human size!
My dog loves this bed, and that is the best endorsement. I will add that it is soft and plush with good support and quality construction.
Our dogs have adapted to their new bed and use it daily. It appears to be very soft and comfortable.
Product is just as described. I bought one awhile ago
and the cats loved it. In the evening they would see which cat
made it to the bed first, so I had to buy another one!
My pup loves this donut. Not only a great place to rest but a great place to bury bones and toys. She drags it across the room and puts all her balls in it (and loves to bury bones too!).
My dog loves this, it seems super comfortable and is certainly very soft. The only point I have is to beware while walking by, it’s actually slippery. It was a bit surprising.
It’s not a hardship to not step on the dog bed, but wanted to give a warning. It is beautiful and fuzzy!
Bought our second. Not has much padding in bed. Sides seem much smaller.
My dog enjoys the bed, which was a replacement for the original she’d had since puppihood. I like the faux fur exterior – good color, soft. Less excited about the ‘plastic base’ which seems cheap (and, were it me, would have been covered in the same faux fur material). Came a bit scrunched in the original shipment box but relatively quickly puffed up to it’s normal shape, and seems to have held that shape despite my 55lb dog resting her head on the edge of the cushion most of the time.
She finds it comfortable. Wanted a warm option for the days I am working.
super soft and lightweight. We are able to wash it but I would like to put it in the dryer after that to fluff it up but I already ruined one bed that way.
My French bulldog considers her “pink donut” as her happy place. I brought her home at 8 weeks and it was initially a delightful place for her to pounce and bounce around in. She is now 16 weeks and grown quite a bit, so it has become her “chillax donut”.
My only beef with this product is the care and maintenance, which specifies the bed can be put in the washing machine (yah!!) and tumble dried on no/low heat. Not air dried. Not put into the dryer on heat.
My kids got their first dog on Christmas of 2021. She’s now 8 months old. She has been using this bed since we got her. I was afraid she would cry at night, being only 2 months old when we got her and being newly separated from her mother and siblings, but she didn’t. She burrowed down into the sides of the bed and fell asleep. I think the furriness reminded her of sleeping with her siblings. Even though the instructions say to tumble dry on low, I’ve washed and dried this bed MANY times over on the regular settings (high heat), with no issues. She chewed a hole into the side, but I ghetto patched it with masking tape, lol. Great bed. I would highly recommend.
12/11/22 Update – my 1yr old boxer figured out the zipper. She went to town on the support tube
It would be nice to have a replacement liner to stuff all the stuffing back in. And to help washing it too.
Love the bed, this is my third as my boxer puppy grows. The inside bedding outer cover did not low dry as promised the material shrinks in heat and ripped mega holes. Our dog loves the bed so we have been forced to find creative ways of keeping the stuffing in.
This is the second one I’ve bought for my Doberman. Easy to clean and last forever. He looks so comfy curled up in the giant size.
My dog seems to really love the bed, and I found it very easy to remove the cover for washing. When I got a second dog I bought a second one because it’s such a great bed
Great looking, super soft but best of all my dog loves it! I put it on my bed and she snuggles up in it every nigh
Easy to wash and dry. My dog climbs in and stays in bed all night. He loves his bed. We now have one in the living room and one in our bedroom.
La prima nottemi sono svegliata e lui dormiva rilassato. Considerato che il mio cane d’ordi questa cuccia lo rilassa tantissimo .
Overall maybe wasn’t exactly what I was wanting. But the cats have given it a 5 star rating.
My dog loves these beds. I bought the smallest size because he is a chihuahua/Italian greyhound breed and I’m afraid to wash either because he has anxiety and loves these beds so much. I will update if I bring myself to wash them!
Super soft for my princess! She loves it. I was surprised at how big it was for a small. She’s not complaining!
I put it down and I swear he doesn’t move except to eat and go outside. I’m honestly jealous of how comfortable he looks in it.
Usually as a greyhound, he’s half in and half out of all his beds, but this one? He’s ALL in, ALL the time. Great bed!
Our Chihuahua FurBaby loves this donut bed. She immediately got in it the first day and has napped in it since.
My dog absolutely loves this bed I bought it because upon visiting my sister’s house my dog took over her dogs bed lol however upon washing mine part of it got matted up and fuzzy & separated but my sister has washed hers multiple times and it’s still fluffy like the second pic I took
Our little maltipoo instantly loved his new bed. It came nicely vacuum packaged, and we followed the directions of fluffing it in the dryer. I was pleasantly surprised with the size that it grew to when it came out of the dryer. Our dog loves sleeping on our blankets and pillows and now found a favorite place to sleep. We have yet to try to clean it, but hopefully that turns out well too.
This bed was for my American Bully. He liked it at first, then started tearing it apart so easily. It did not last very long maybe 2 months.
I ordered one time before “Calming Dog Bed”. I made the order from European company, but the product came in the end from China and was very low quality. I returned it. This dog bed was everything I could hope for, and my dog agrees 🙂 Good quality and clear user instruction. I can really recommend this.
The old bed had to be throw away for my little Shih Tzu Sophie that she had for years, and I had to return 3 previous beds I purchased for her, because she didn’t like them !!! Then I ordered this bed for her and it was love at first snuggle !!!!! I ordered another one too, so now I have one downstairs and one upstairs for her !!!! Very happy with it. I wish you made one big enough for ME to take a nappy in !!!!!
My older dog absolutely loves this bed!!! He normally tries to crawl into bed with us but not anymore!!!! He jumps right in and curls up. I actually will be purchasing another one for our newest pup. Definitely get this bed for your fur ball, they will absolutely love it!!!!
I’ve purchased many dog beds in the past as none of them really last forever. After searching the options for my large 75lb dog, I really like this 1 how it has a bumper edge around the entire bed. These work great in the car & helps give a little extra safety cushioning. My dog took to the fluffiness immediately. I haven’t taken the cover off yet therefore there is one that zippers all way around & a pillow type pad is inside which probably could be replaced with any sizable pillow down the road. Very pleased with this purchase.
This bed is a hit, but we have only washed it one time and the material is all matted. The couple weeks we used it didn’t wear the material at all. Once in the wash, it looks like it’s 1-2 years old.
Color (Lux Gray) as described and in picture. Size was accurate. Delivered two days early. Both my dogs jumped right in and claimed it as their own (Ordered two in the small size). My dogs weigh in at 8 lbs and 12 lbs and they have plenty room to spare. Would recommend.
Compre la cama de 30 x 30 para un cocker cruza con schnauzer y le qued muy bien, se lava fcilmente, incluye cierres para sacarle el relleno aunque la tela es delgada, es muy suave
She absolutely loved the original light pink bed, she eventually torn it up by digging and pulled the stuffing out of the center. I could have replaced it but decided to just buy another bed.
The replacement bed was the dark brown one and it’s completely different than the first she’s not a fan of it.
Es muy sencillo de lavar. La he llevado en el auto y mi pug va comodsimo y muy tranquilo. En donde sea que coloque su cama, mi gordito duerme plcidamente. Vale cada peso!
This bed does everything but clean out the fridge!! Absolutely perfect! My rescue puppy is in heaven, and finds ways to lounge on the sides and bury bones in its’ luxurious fill. He will have no trouble growing into it. If not, he’s so happy I just might have to join him!
My dog loved this bed! The only thing I would consider next time is the price. We ended up going to pet smart and saw something similar and way bigger (a bit more rounded) for $25 which made me feel like I over spent on this one
My pup tends to get cold during the winter and I noticed he started curling up in a ball and tucking his nose when he would lay on his bed (which was a standard circle bed from Costco) so I though I would try a calming bed to see if it would help him get more comfortable.
I looked at cheaper versions, but ultimately kept coming back to this one because of the reviews and it looked like a higher quality bed. Boy am I glad I made the right choice!
My pup LOVES this bed! The very first night he used it, he was out like a baby and snoring. He’s never looked more comfortable and peaceful than he does in his calming bed. He will now no longer sleep in his other bed, he only wants his calming bed. I might have to get another one so I don’t have to drag it up and down the stairs every day haha.
It’s easy to take the top cover off and machine wash when it gets dirty. The material used for the fur is super soft and doesn’t get staticky or stuck together. Even when he eats his bones on his bed, it doesn’t get crusty from slobber. It’s light weight enough to take anywhere, and the perfect size! I was hesitant that the large would be too small as he’s 55lbs and quite long when he stretches out, but it fits like a glove. And he LOVES the pillow around the outside to prop his head on.
If you’re hesitating to buy this bed, consider this your sign to buy it!
This dog bed is extremely soft and cozy. My mini schnauzer mix is in love with it. She is about 14 lbs and I ordered her the small which is perfect for her. I recommend getting the blanket as well if your dog likes to “fluff” up their bed. Plus the blanket is easy to bring anywhere. I’m very happy with the combo.
This is an amazing dog bed!!!! In fact, I have purchased two for different rooms in my home. It’s so very soft and my two dogs love it and just melt into it. I have washed it several times and it’s easy to remove the stuffing and to put it back together. I highly recommend this wonderful dog bed!!
Had been watching this bed for sometime. Went on sale on Black Friday. Wished I had bought 4. 2 for work and 2 for home. Will buy two more when I see a good sale again. The dogs love them. Cleaned well in washer. Takes a little finesse to get them back together. With a dog who drools will need to be washed every few weeks.
As soon as I opened this on Christmas day, my little dog lay in it and hasn’t moved since! He usually lies in a variety of places (dog bed under the table, dog bed in our bedroom, sofa, arm chair, floor, my bed, my daughters’ beds) but now he only lies on this one. He even disappeared downstairs last night and when I went down to check that he didn’t need out for a wee, I found him in his new bed! Unheard of to sleep apart from me. One happy dog!
Very good quality, soft, and attractive looking pet bed my wee dog loves it and that’s the best compliment I can give so “Paws Up” from my baby and a big “thumbs up” from me
Pup approved 100%
Like sleeping on a cloud!
Easy to remove outer shell and stick in the wash. Always dry on low heat or air dry.
My cat fell head over paws in love with this. I also did! Why dont they do an adult version!
My cat feels safe, secure, cosy and so comfortable and she looks sensational on her new bed!
Ive not washed it yet, a little worried doing that right. I love this bed, its like my cat Lilly feels like she is in the Ritz with this bed-the BEST has to be!
Love that my little dog loves it. She always roughs it up before settling down, so the area she’s roughed up isn’t quite as shaggy as when it was new. Just washed it for the first time today, along with the matching bed, survived the washing experience ok.
This company does extensive research into pet safety. I worry about all those beds from China! There are hundreds of chemicals they put on bedding (check out how careful Pottery Barn is!) I do o t want my baby breathing in those chemicals for hours and hours a day. Outward Hound in CA just bought Sherri’s line of beds. Their dog toys are baby-safe standards too and they are one of the leading researchers into pet safety!
Not bad, but can be improved with a better cushion to provide better support and to keep it from going flat. Not as soft as I thought it would be and hopefully it will last. Otherwise, it’s a keeper and doggie approved.
Too small for my dog so had to sell it and buy another. However, the bed is great quality and soft.
This is a well made bed and is soft and cozy. My puppy likes it, but has not slept in it. I have tried lots of dog beds, but she has never wanted to sleep in any of them. Mostly she just plays in it and pulls it around the room. She does like to dig in it sometimes and it really has held up. I was afraid she’d pull the fur off it, but it stays put. Maybe someday she’ll decide it’s a nice place to sleep and not just a fun toy. Washed up nicely and the fur came out fluffy and not matted together. Washed on cold hand wash cycle and dried on low. My puppy is 7 months and 5 pounds. Still can do a lot of damage to things, but not to this so far.
My Jack Russell has always slept above my head in bed. He rarely finds any beds on the floor a temporary short term situation because it’s not bedtime. Since he’s getting older, jumping off of the bed for him is scary for me. He actually has accepted this bed as a bed. Very Rare. But he snuggles and sinks in. Also with his age peepee accidents have happened. Throw this in the wash (I don’t have an agitator (modern front loader) and dry it on high. No shredding / shedding or falling apart in the dryer. It’s durable. Especially for a low cost basic throw pillow for him. I was shocked and he is happy!!!
es un tanto grande para un perrito chihuahua , sin embargo mi perrita la ama , super suave y calientita y excelente forma para que descansen. Es buena inversin para las bendis
Arrived and my dog immediately snuggled into it. Perfect! He’s 60 pounds and likes to sleep resting on the outside lip in the day, curled into a ball at night. Lots of room. Very happy!! My daughter has a smaller size for her dog, who also loves the bed.
It was vacuum packed and had instructions to fluff up in the drier…but hardly needed any fluffing. Definitely recommend.
A pesar de no ser de un material de calidad, las mascotas s las disfrutan y son prcticas, no pesan y se lavan en lavadora
UPDATE: washed it again today following the same procedure as a bug and once again it came out perfectly! Honestly, the hardest part for me is getting those bolsters back in there! LOL This has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made for my dogs! I am planning on buying one for my daughter’s new puppy.
This has been thrown in the wash several times and air dried. No issues. Our shi poo loves it and sneaks away to it all the time <3 Took a while to be shipped but worth the wait!
Nos encant, esta sper suavecita y calientita. Tenemos una perrita Shih Tzu de un ao y le gusta mucho. El material de la base no tiene el mismo peluche que al rededor entonces no se acalora.
This bed is very soft and my dog loves it.
I rarely write reviews, but this bed is amazing! I bought it for my dog with CCD and she loved it- it held up through multiple washings and long enough for her brother to get it now- and even he loves it. both dogs were very restless for different reasons and this helped both of them immensely. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another when this one wears out!
I haven’t washed it yet but looks like it will do fine. You never know if your dog is going to like a dog bed or not. But it took her a couple days and now she loves it! She has been sleeping with us since Covid started and of course takes up most of the bed but now we put this bed on floor beside ours and when she gets kicked or feels like she needs more room she just jumps off our bed into hers! Best $100 i ever spent. Plus I like the way it looks. I have to keep my grand dog from time to time and he immediately got into her bed which she did not like lol. Great product I highly recommend.
Excelente camita, mi perro la ha disfrutado muchsimo! Es sper suave y ligera. No pierde la forma.
Compre el primero y posteriormente ped otro, estn sper bien, mi mascota adora su cama y la hecho a lavar a la lavadora y sale como nueva
Having had this in use for a few days now, it is evident that our puppy LOVES this donut cuddler!!!
Bravo!!!
Mi perra la adora tanto. Y cuando ella no la est utilizando la uso para ponerla en mi silla de trabajo… es bien cmoda jeje.
This arrived about 1 hour ago and my dog has not got up from it since. He hasn’t even allowed me to properly “fluff” it as the directions state. He gave it one good sniff, then circled about 5 times and that was that.
I ordered a LARGE to test the size because I thought the XL may be too big to fit by our bed. I think it ended up being perfect for him since he likes to roll up in ball. He is a 75 lb boxer/husky mix who is thin but very tall. I would say taller than most Huskies but thinner.
I can’t comment on the durability of the bed yet. So this review is mostly to help others with determining size. I plan to purchase a small one for my 12lb Chihuahua which I’ll review as well.
I have one big one that came with appropriate tags and paperwork and this came crammed in a black plastic bag with no paperwork and ZERO tags stating it was a Best Friends by Shari bed. It feels different than the blanket and the other bed I have and didn’t wash the same. Came out of the dryer with less fur. Had to vacuum my dryer. Still a very nice bed, she loves these
*Edit 5-26-2021 having washed these quite a few times now I hate washing them. The large one comes apart but the circular pad is so pounded down you practically have to rip it from the casing of the bed. I am vigilant about vacuuming these beds and my dog especially loves her nighttime bed but I don’t think I’ll replace them because of the cleaning issues. It takes too long to get the hair and bed fluff out of the washer and dryer. I stand by the beige bed feels totally different than the silver bed.
Added 2/12/21: I wanted a second bed for my BostonTerrier/Pit mix in an alternate room. I ordered the small size and find it ok for her. I have the smaller bed in my main living area (under the acrylic coffee table) and placed the larger bed in the extra room. I probably would have placed them differently, but either works fine for her comfort.
If my dog was larger than 40 lbs, I think the smaller bed would lack the necessary side support.
*******
The bed is well made and soft, both on the bottom and side donut. My dog is a Boston Terrier/Pit Bull mix, about 36 lbs.; larger than a standard Boston Terrier, and smaller than a standard Pit Bull. I think a small might have been ok (would have been better for my space), but she can both stretch out and snuggle into a ball with this bed. I previously purchased a small Best Friends in a different model. While she fit into it as a tight ball, it was not suited to lazy’ing about. The best part is that she prefers the bed to the couch. This is a good thing because she only has 1 back leg and since dogs come with 3 legs and a spare, I want to preserve her legs as best I can. Yay.
Very soft and fluffy. My dog has been using it loads since we got it, even preferring it over our couch.
My pup loves this bed as it is soft, comfy and keeps him warm.
Encantadas mis perritas de 8 y 5 aos Jack Russell Terrier con sus camas, tienen un feliz sueo!
Increble. Al principio cre que no querra cambiar de su cama actual, sin embargo le tom una noche acostumbrarse. Est sper cmoda y le enca
Les encanta y ha aguantado muchas lavadas ya llevo un ao con ella y todo bien, solo que si se hizo un poco apelmazada
I waited 2 months and the bed didn’t show up they finally gave me a refund so that is positive. I since bought one from winners and my fur baby loves i
I returned the 36 x 36 as it was way too large. The bed was lovely. Very good quality. I ordered the exact same bed (same vendor etc) but 30×30 and am keeping it as fits the dog, but the quality in comparison is poor. It’s much cheaper made, not as plush or substantial. Almost like made somewhere completely different t with way cheaper materials. I kept it as this is the third dog bed I have ordered and I just really need one and it fits her. But not terribly pleased with quality. Would. It have bought the 30x 30 in a store. The 36 x 36 was much much nicer.
Great dog bed! Super soft and my boxer/pitbull mix loves it The large is plenty big for her!!
For the first few days, my Havanese decided it was just a big. fluffy toy. She finally decided it’s okay for curling up and sleeping in. I’m not sure how long it’s going to last, though — the other day I found some bits of the stuffing plucked out.
La verdad qued muy bien para mi perrita, se subi una vez que la abrimos. Esta muy suave y cmoda para ella, el nico pero es que no tiene mucho relleno pero eso se soluciona aadindolo uno. El color beige est muy hermoso, el precio un poco ms bajo que en la pgina: camita de bienestar.
She sleeps in it all the time. I may need to purchase another one for upstairs and one for my other dog, 2 more for my cats.
My cat took this over, even though I got it for my dog. Thankfully, she was willing to share, and soon both of them would snuggle in this bed all day long. It is easy to wash as it zips apart, it fluffs up with a good shake, and it is clearly comfy to my pets as they curl up in it often.
Amazing! muy puppy loves this bed, so cosy and warm.
We just got it, so I’ll update this if I find it doesn’t last, but I think the photo says enough about how much my dog liked this bed!
Cleopatra is totally obsessed with this bed. She is such a tiny dog and basically disappears when she is sitting in it. I have also washed it a couple of times now and it cleans up nice and gets super fluffy out of the dryer. She LOVES it when it’s warm and freshly washed. Totally worth it. Would 100% but again!
Dogs seem to like it. It fits one twenty-four pound dog.
Purchased this from another vendor and received a cheap knockoff, so I was very pleased when I received the second bed, sold and shipped directly from Amazon. Dog laid down in the bed as soon as I put it on the floor. Big difference in size and quality. Beware of the vendor if you’re not getting direct from Amazon.
My dog absolutely loves this bed. He is old and ill and I wanted him off the cold floors and also wanted to stop fighting him for my spot on the couch. Now, he prefers his own bed and only comes by once in a while for a cuddle. With his spinal problem he is now able to sleep comfortably without muttering and moaning in his sleep.
Pedido que llego muy rpido. La calidad del mismo es excelente muy suave y a mi perrita le encant. Ped CH para mi chihuahua y hasta le sobra espacio para estirarse a su gusto. Muy recomendable.
My dogs all love this bed. We have about 9 beds for 4 dogs scattered throughout the house and they all want to snuggle in this one!
