I hope that wasn’t too overwhelming! I know it seems hard to find the ultimate bed for your pooch, especially since there are SO many great options out there.
When I’m having a hard time choosing, I make a budget (and stick to it), read all the reviews, then pick something that looks comfy for my pups!
If you do the same, you’ll be in good shape.
