Other ideas: - Make an extra large bed to accommodate more than one dog
- Build a wooden frame to make a small sofa bed, using old couch pillows or a foam mattress for the pad
- Take PVC pipe and canvas or mesh to make a cool outdoor bed for those hot summer days
- For removable covers easy to wash, make a dog bed sheet or throw a blanket over the bed
Basic measurements to take before you begin:- Measure dog's length, head to tail, while he or she is stretched out
- Measure your dog's width at the widest point while she is curled up
- Add 2 inches (50mm) to the length and the same to the width
- These will be the minimum rectangular dimensions for your dog bed
- For a circular bed, use the dog's stretched out length for the diameter unless otherwise specified
Comet’s spoiled. Except for a brief period on a pad, he's had a human couch as his dog bed.Just remember when you make your own dog bed that it doesn't have to be perfect. Your dog is likely to be much more concerned with comfort than looks!
