Dog beds

[miggy]

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me, what size bed for my greyhounds, iI have two duvets own for them, but I feel they might like a oval or square beds, also what sort should I put in the back of the car.

My girls have both 35" and 40" Danish design soft oval baskets with a single quilt folded in 4 or a thick chunk of memory foam in them for added comfort. Gracie is biggest at about 26-27" back length and she curls up in the 35" one but loves to stretch out in the 40" although if she curls up in it it looks too big. Maddie who's not much smaller prefers the smaller baskets as she heads to it when she wants to snuggle up in a ball and lays on a duvet bed if she wants to stretch out. Sapphy, the smallest likes the big baskets and both curls up and stretches out in the big ones.
Not sure if that helps!

We've got an estate car with the back permanantly flat and just put non slip vet bed in the back or on a longer journey I might put a quilt on top of it. I'd say non slip and easy to clean for a car bed.

Crate beds work quite well in the car, but for longer journeys I would add extra bedding (duvet?) There are earlier threads on here about beds - we've got an Orvis memory foam but it cost an arm and a leg and I think there are many cheaper alternatives - see Dog Talk where someone has put a photo of their dog beds with quilts.
