Calming Dog Beds
Calming dog beds help anxious dogs relax and sleep better. Our dog beds and anti anxiety dog beds use super soft plush fabric, raised edges, and supportive, responsive fibres to alleviate anxiety and create a safe, cosy place to curl up. Choose a donut dog bed, cave-style, or bolster pet bed with non slip base, removable cover, and machine washable care.
Designed for UK homes and home décor—from small flats to busy family rooms—each calming bed is light, portable, and sized for puppies, adults, and senior dogs. Ideal for separation anxiety, loud nights, and everyday naps, so your furry friend enjoys restful sleep and you get peace of mind.
Explore the range, compare sizes and features, and find the perfect fit for your pup.
Breed Suggestions
Choosing the right calming dog bed depends on your dog’s breed, size, and sleep habits. Whether you have a tiny pup or a large senior dog, we’ve designed our calming beds to suit all shapes and sizes. From compact donut beds for small dogs to extra-large calming pet beds for big breeds, there’s a perfect fit for every furry friend.
- Small breeds like Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, and Frenchies love the raised edges and enclosed feel of our donut-style beds.
- Medium-sized dogs like Cockapoos, Beagles, and Border Collies enjoy our anti anxiety dog beds with responsive fibres and supportive padding.
- Large breeds like Labradors, Retrievers, and German Shepherds need beds with more filling, self-warming layers, and removable covers for easy cleaning.
- Senior dogs benefit from our orthopedic calming bed range, built with extra support to ease joint pressure and provide restful sleep.
No matter the breed, your pet’s comfort and calmness is our top priority. Our beds are designed to mimic the safety of cuddling with litter mates, helping to reduce stress and soothe anxiety.

Calming Dog Bed FAQs
Do dog calming beds actually work?
Many calming beds help anxious dogs feel safe and relaxed by using raised edges, nest-like shapes, and super soft plush that mimic a cosy den. They won’t fix every kind of anxiety, but lots of reviews report better restful sleep and less worry during noisy nights. Pair the calming dog bed with routine, exercise, and calm training for best results.
How do I stop my dog from tearing up his dog bed?
Dogs often chew out of boredom, stress, or lack of exercise. Choose a durable calming bed made from high-quality polyester and tough fabric, and ensure your dog gets daily stimulation and playtime. You can also redirect chewing with toys and reward calm behaviour. If your dog is especially destructive, try beds with removable, replaceable covers and reinforced seams.
What dog bed do vets recommend?
Vets typically favour supportive beds that fit your dog’s size and needs. For senior dogs or those with stiff joints, choose a bed with quality filling and steady support. For anxiety, a high-sided calming dog bed or covered option can offer a stronger sense of security. Easy-to-clean, removable cover designs are a win for hygiene.
What is the best dog bed for calming?
The “best” depends on how your dog sleeps:
- Donut bed – for curlers who love a soft, snug calm feel.
- Bolster bed – for head support and side-sleepers.
- Covered/cave style – for pups that need extra security or shy dogs that like darker spaces.
Look for non slip base, removable covers, machine washable care, and a size that suits your pet.
