Which dog bed is best for a senior dog with arthritis?

An orthopedic memory foam bed is the clear choice for senior dogs with arthritis. High-density foam distributes body weight evenly, eliminating pressure points at the hips, shoulders, and elbows. Look for a bed with a low entry height so your dog can get in and out without straining. Our orthopedic range is specifically designed for this purpose.

What is the best dog bed for an anxious dog?

A bolster bed or calming plush bed works best for anxious dogs. The raised edges create a den-like enclosure that satisfies dogs' instinct to sleep in protected spaces, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and reducing anxiety. Many owners report dramatic improvements in nighttime restlessness after switching to a bolster bed.

What size dog bed do I need for my Labrador?

For a Labrador (typically 25–35kg), you need a Large bed — at least 100–115cm long and 75–85cm wide. Measure your dog from nose to tail while stretched out and add 15–20cm. When in doubt, size up. A bed that is too small forces your dog to sleep in uncomfortable positions that can worsen joint stiffness.

Are personalised dog collars better than ID tags?

Yes, in most cases. Embroidered personalised collars have the identification permanently stitched into the fabric — it cannot fall off, tangle, or become illegible over time. Metal tags can detach, flip to the back of the collar, or wear down. A personalised collar is the most reliable form of identification for your dog.

Do you offer free shipping on dog beds in Australia?

Yes! Pets Heaven offers free standard shipping on all orders over $149 AUD Australia-wide. Orders under $149 incur a flat $19.50 shipping fee. Express shipping is available for $29.50. All orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days.

What is the difference between a plush bed and a bolster bed?

A plush bed is a flat or slightly raised cushion with soft, warm filling — ideal for dogs that sleep stretched out or curled in a ball. A bolster bed has raised edges on three or four sides that create an enclosed, den-like space — ideal for anxious dogs, dogs that curl tightly, and dogs that love to rest their chin on a raised surface. Both are plush-style beds; the key difference is the raised rim.
